Happy New Year
to you all.
Well, as the clock ticks past midnight in my part of the world,
we enter a new year of wonderful, warm crafting for 'our' children.
Starting the year off on a bright and cheery note....
The Colour of the Month (CoM) is
ORANGE
How's that for inspiration?
Thankfully, knitting and crocheting adds no calories....haha
Happy New Year.....
knitting and crocheting!!

A few more orange squares, 3 crochet, and 1 knitted "swingy" square. The camera (again!) has strange ideas of color. In reality the squares are not so garish. And the knitted square looks a bit wonky, but it will behave once it is sewn into a blanket, and it will be square.
Completed blanket plus sift toys and managed to squeeze in 1 more CoM square. Still no way to rotate photos
LOVE your blanket, Diane! As always, your design and colour choices are SUPERB!!
LOVING all the stripes. :))
LOVE all your teddies, but the one on the far right with the yellow ribbon would have to be my fave. He looks so soft and plump. I just want to reach through the screen and give him a big, squishy hug....haha.
Terrific! Love the blanket, but also the darling teddy family and their bright, cheerful square.
Oh Diane your knitting is always so sophisticated and imaginative. Your fella looks to have a nice hairdo too 😊⭐
That's one fabulous blanket and the cutest toys Diane. The pics are the right way up for me.
I've rotated them on my screen, Diane, but I don't know if that works on other people's!
Fabulous work, as always, and such cute teddies.
Amy, have you seen Diane's comments before that she doesn't have the rotate tab? I said you were the fixer.
This is a new (to me) knitting pattern called Seersucker Stitch. Strangely it looks almost identical to the crochet Granny Spike stitch I used for my Colour of the Month Squares.
That's a lovely new texture, Patricia. Looks especially nice in that soft, but warm, shade of orange.
Patricia this is really delicate + so pretty. I think there was a similar one in the 35 Squares collection ✔️. (no 5)
