Winter (or what passes for winter here – Nick the Englishman always laughs when I complain that it’s cold) is drawing to a close. Soon the days will be getting hot, then hot and muggy… and I will be waiting with baited breath for Autumn!
So, I’m enjoying working a little more on my crochet while it’s still cool. Here I’ve got the first squares that will go together to make my ‘white and bright’ blanket, which will look a little like the one in this post.
Also, those who’ve been reading Epheriell Designs for a while will know about The Great Australian Granny Square project, which is unfortunately on hiatus while we’re stuck at home.
I thought I’d give you a little peek at where it’s up to…
I’m itching to do more work on it! I’m hoping, *hoping*, we might get to go away for a week or two before my next specialist appointment, and if so – wheee!!!
And! A lovely online friend – Carley from VanillaPixie – asked if I was still taking yarn donations for when we get on the road. I said “of course!” and she sent me this most beautiful set of yarns!
Thank you Carley!
So – what crochet adventures have you been up to lately? Feel free to leave links in the comments!

So pretty!!
It’s looking good!
And I’m so happy you’ll be able to utilise the yarn. Yay!!
Your granny square project is so fun. I almost never use 4-ply yarn or I would send you some.
I’ve been crocheting a lot lately…my latest project was flowers that I tacked onto headbands. I’m loving them. Here’s one of them…but there are a bunch more in my shop 🙂

Oh, those flowers would look lovely in the middle of a granny square – I must make to learn more fancy ones sometime!
The flowers are a little technical – it has to be to make the layered petals – but once you get the hang of it, they’re easy to whip up. Every time I try a new flower, it takes me a few times to get it right 🙂
