    Love those little birdie brooches!

    Thought I'd show you the cushions I made at the weekend. It doesn't show up in the photo but the yarn is sparkly - it came from Lidl around Christmas time. I only crocheted the fronts, and made a cushion cover from beige linen and sewed the crochet front on. Sorry but I can't seem to resize this smaller, it keeps defaulting to the original size. Hopefully one of the board guides can help or tell me how to do it?

    Thanks! Yes that's my cat, his name is Elvis and he's huge and incredibly dumb but we love him anyway :) Any time I get out my camera he always seems to run into the shot.

    They look great. I'm very new to crochet, just started learning the basics. I feel all inspired to keep going now as I'd love to be able to make something like that :)

    Love the cushions....and the cat. :D

    Here's my DD's Crazy Blanket. Crazy as it has no defined pattern at all, I just add squares when I make them and I'll stop when I think it's big enough.
    That Z, our stripy pirate btw.

    Love it ,its like a work of art .
    I,m doing something similar .I,m making quite large squares,maybe the size of your biggest ones ,I,m doing them all different patterns ,some are small granny squares sewn together to create one larger square,some striped ,other one large square .I,ve only made 4 at the moment.

    all the squares will end up the same size though not like yours ,I think yours is much better than my idea.
    I,ll take some pics later and put them on,so you can see what I,m on about .
