CAL 2 motif

Just completed the first motif of  the second stage of the Lily pond crochet along,  it is much more interesting than the first blocks and quicker to do.

CAL stripes and waves

Finished first 4 blocks just in time for 2nd installment. They need blocking but going to wait until I  have finished the next stage to ensure my tension is going to be ok

CAL

I have just finished the first motif of  my Stylecraft Lily Pond blanket crochet along designed by Jane Crowfoot. 3 more of these to make before the next instalment in less  than 2 weeks time.Although I have crocheted  for most of my life I  found it difficult to get the tension correct  and had to change the hook sizes.
