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.....

Beautiful Diane, the colour is amazing! ................ are the right hand side ones the stitch that Kira gave us years ago?
Thanks Karen, the stitch is called Honeycomb Slip Stitch, very easy! I found it online several years ago but haven't a clue where!! Don't recognise the name Kira...
Kiran Singh, Feb 2022 Theme, Honeycomb Stitch. I came across this in my "Want to Try One Day" book x
Yes this is the stitch, a 2 row repeat.
DK 4mm 45 stitches, 86/88 rows, weighs approx 21g
DK 4.5mm 41 stitches, 76'ish rows, weighs approx 19g
I have yet to knit it in Aran weight
Such a happy, cheerful color. Texture is great, too. These are winners, Diane.
These squares are positively glowing, Diane. I love orange.
Fantastic, these pop right off the page.
Oh wow, wow WOW, Diane!! Your orange squares are STUNNINGLY bright, BEAUTIFUL and oh-so-neat!!
LOVE the textures..Is that Zanny's basketweave? I started to do a little bit of that pattern in cream at the end of last month, but didn't like my tension, so decided to leave it for another day. :))
Thanks Bev, yes it is Zanny's basketweave. I have had to adjust my stitches to make 8" square. I find 38 stitches is good with DK and 4mm needles. Therefore I K3/P3 at the beginning and end of each row
Can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me where to find 'members patterns - squares'? I've had a bit of a look, but it's just not happening for me. :((
Thanks. :))
