New Kitchen Sofa Throw progress....

A bit poorly over night....think I have caught my sons bug, so between sleeps I pick up the hook and add a couple more motifs.

It's made with Chunky or two strands of DK and a 5mm hook so it really is growing quite fast.

All Stylecraft Life and a couple of Special DK and James C Brett Marble Chunky

 

 

I need a couple of new cushion covers to go with the throw so a sample of a Moss stitch variation, this one is a bit more mesh like....another quick and easy stitch combo.

The Motif is from my book, Granny Squares, with a couple of changes to the first two rounds....more because of the chunky yarn used.

 

  

 HAPPY HOOKING

Granny Square Shrug...

Got to a metre, just under 600 grams of yarn...sewed up the seams and tried it on....

it fits, but it's a jacket and I want it to look more like a coat so onwards we go,

another 100-200grams to add.

 

HAPPY HOOKING

400 grams of Wizz Aran

Another ball added......and it now measures about 32''

Some work to do today, but hoping I can play some more and that it will be finished by Monday...crossing everything.

 

I think it would have made a lovely throw too.

 

HAPPY HOOKING

Wizz Aran, Granny Shrug progress...

200grams crocheted has made a square of 21/22" 54/56cms.

It needs to be almost twice that, something in the region of 40" 100cm

sorry the picures aren't brilliant the light at the moment is awful...I do miss the light in Lanzarote.

Will it be a shrug by the end of the week?...Hope so.

 

HAPPY HOOKING

 

Wizz Aran mesh scarf and a granny shrug in the making...

Looks like the Wizz Yarn has been around for a while I found, when I started to look on Ravelry for yarns.....118 projects in the making it seems!

My scarf is a just a few rows short of being finished, just want to match up the ends a bit better.

I had planned on playing with the yarn, trying s few different patterns to see which worked best.

A Granny square was one of them....to be made into a shrug.

I thought it might work as a granny but when i saw this Giant Granny made in the same colour Wizz Aran by.....

Mesh Scarf Pattern

US terms

ch39.

Row 1: htr, in each st. (39sts)

Row 2: 3tr, ch3, 3tr ch3, repeat to end finish with 3tr.

Row 3: repeat row 1, htr in every st. and 3htr in ch3 sp.

Row 4: repeat row 2, tr, on top of tr of 2 rows below and ch3 between.

continue to repeat rows 1 and 2 until the length required

Don't you just love the ease of a random dyed yarn, no ends to deal with, well almost none.

My scarf is about a ball...200grams. and I used a 4mm hook not a 5mm as recommended.

HAPPY HOOKING ALL

Wizz Aran a supermarket buy

Not a bad yarn either...

Tried a few pointed petal flowers and a treble mesh stitch.

And i have added a few more flowers to the round petal piece.

A very similar pattern.

4mm hook and not the 5mm hook advised though.

A treble, treble with hdc inbetween.
