crochet colour


Although I don't like a lot of colour or clutter in my surroundings, I like to work with colour in my crochet projects.

Before Christmas Bendigo Woollen Mills had a sale so I bought some of their 200gm 8 ply wool. I prefer to work with wool rather than acrylic.

So, with no particular project in mind, I bought one ball of each of these colours...



And four balls of each of these...


I decided to alternate the purple and fuschia above between the other colours.  I really like the colour combinations and the way the lap blanket is turning out...




And The Ragamuffin Gospel is my bedtime read....

  2. Hi Bean! Yes...I love the colours too, they are a pleasure to work with.

    Have gotten side tracked on the book as one from the library I reserved has come in (The Shipping News) and I am reading that.

    I really enjoyed Brennan's All Is Grace autobiography. Have you read that?

    1. Thanks Susan. I've gone off on a bit of a tangent though and am now doing smaller granny squares to make into a baby blanket, after seeing a pic in a magazine :)
