Love those colours @Sea_Shell thanks for sharing. We look forward to seeing your progress!

Post box topper still in situ and zero comments on the village WA group. Maybe I should post something to put them off the scent mwahahaha

In other news I’ve finished stuffing 9 Easter eggs, some plain and some GS design. Need to give the bunny some facial features. Thinking I might make another 2 as don’t want him getting lonely. Photo to follow tomorrow 😊

Exciting to see the project planning stage @Sea_Shell.

Just steady stitching here with a lot of garden tidying thrown in. Volunteer each week to take care of the planters in our town centre and a grant awarded means big new projects. Body remembering how it feels to do some physical work}

Wow you lot have been very productive, love all the makes and projects.

Excellent post box topper coxy, very impressed :)

For crochet patterns there is ravelry, attic24 or just google what you want, lots of free patterns come up, sometimes with video tutorials too. I've used MJ's off the Hook Designs and Hooked on Homemade Happiness for 2 of my garments. I've only bought 1 pattern and that was my christmas jumper, which i'm super proud of, haha.

Currently making a mothers day card and i have reached the sleeves on my cardigan.

…and here are the eggs for my next topper:

Auti

start of the mosaic crochet chair blanket I am crotcheting. Quite enjoying it and it is the first time I have done this - only negative … it is soooo slow as you do each row independently (all the ends are covered by a border). The green lines are exactly the same colour/yarn as the leaves - effect of crochet in back loops and rows below - quite clever.

@Auti that’s stunning almost looks printed.
Thanks for the pattern advice @nmm. This is an example of when technology is a real force for good.
