Ah, the month I have been waiting for
and it's no April Fool's Day joke......
This month the CoM (colour of the month) is....
PINK
I felt inspired by this poem
that I discoverd.......sadly, I can't seem to locate who penned it.
Pink’s Lullaby
“Pink’s Lullaby” is a calming ode to the nurturing aspect of pink, often associated with comfort and care. It paints an image of a serene evening, where the color brings warmth to the world.
When evening comes in pastel tones,
And sunlight for the moon atones,
The sky wraps us in arms of pink,
As stars above begin to wink.
Like softest sheets on childhood bed,
Or gentle touch on sleepy head.
Pink’s lullaby, a soothing hum,
As day to night does finally succumb.
So rest your eyes, let dreams unfurl,
As pink engulfs the waking world.
To every heart, its warmth apply,
In the soft strains of pink’s lullaby.
Whichever colour and yarn inspires you to create warmth for the children, this month, please share your crafting with us all.

Really lovely squares Patricia. As a novice + basic crochet girl I'm wondering if you think I could attempt this stitch without too much stress on my abilities + tension, gauge etc.... I'd be so proud to achieve a few squares in this stitch soon xx
Linen Stitch is one of my favourites. This is the tutorial I used when I first learned how to do it (it's a bit wordy but helpful until you know what you're doing):

The important thing to remember is that you're putting your hook into the space between the Vs rather than into the Vs.
Using DK and a 4mm hook I need to start with a chain 38 (fairly tight) to make an 8" square.
Good luck!
Thanks for the chain count...mine have always shrunk in the past.
Super!
Oh wow!! They are SO pretty, Patricia!!
Pretty colours Patricia and a lovely stitch.
I was knitting for March (Yellow) and ended up in hospital without my yarn!! But continued with this multistriping yarn that had some pink so I am including these squares for the April theme (and March!).
Super squares Arlene.
Gorgeous colours in this yarn, Arlene.
Sending a big virtual hug. Scrummy squares xx Get better soon ♥️
