The end of the month seems to have come around very quickly, guess thats a February thing! Anyway its reveal day for the Monthly Challenge. This month we stitched the Love design from The Stitcherhood. The album can be found here
I stitched mine using various thread scraps and finished it as a little ornament decorated with crochet flowers. I did NOT crochet the flowers myself, crochet being a skill I had never managed to master until yesterday, when I found an online tutorial that didn't seem to be written in some form of arcane gibberish, and
OK, you can stop laughing now, all you seasoned hookers. I'm chuffed with this!
Adorable technicolour blankets here I come!
Don't forget to enter my Giveaway (see previous post), I'll be drawing a winner on Tuesday

Oh well done on becoming a 'granny'Christine! I mastered it only to find the action makes my wrists ache too much so I shall just have to admire all these lovely blankets that are happening out there sigh.

Very nice granny square!
You will soon be able to make crochet flowers. Try them BIG first.
Your love piece looks fantastic! The crochet pieces add just the right touch!
Your crochet square looks great too! You should be proud of yourself for continuing to try until you found a tutorial that made sense to you. Congratulations!
Being a new 'hooker' myself...I am not laughing. It looks great and I know how good it feels to finish your first one. Beware! It is so addictive. I just went out for bread and came back with a bag full of yarn...lol. I love feeling the yarn but am still not versed in what to use so I am winging it with what I like.
The love hanger is so pretty. Those small projects are so much fun. So why have I only got great big ones on the go??? :-)
