Sneak Peek

Thanks to the wonderful people over in the We Love Lucy group on Ravelry I finally have a blog. I couldn't wait to get started last night but there's a problem - my camera is broken! I'm getting a new one soon but in the mean time I wanted to share some of my current WIPs with you all.

Ta daaaaah!

Sorry for the poor quality - I had to take it on my phone. In the top left corner is my Ripple blanket, top right is my Cath Kidston inspired granny square blanket, bottom left is my Blooming Flower cushion and in the middle are a few squares of my own design that will probably end up as a cushion.

I have lots of plans for this blog including yarn reviews and free tutorials. I have a few techniques I want to share with you such as the alternative JAYG (join as you go) method that creates a beautiful twisted seam for granny squares that you can see in the photo.

So if this has tickled your fancy, please follow me. I'm really grateful for all your support.

Love Em xxxxx

(PS I'd love to read your thoughts so go ahead and leave me a comment and I promise I'll read them!)

  3. What a lovely collection of wips! I particularly love the squares in the middle, pretty design and such nice colours too. A tutorial or pattern for those is in the plan too I trust? ;)

    1. Yep :) they were inspired by your Copenhagen pillow. You are a massive inspiration for me especially when it comes to colour. Thanks xx
