2010 Crochet Blocks, so far...

A few days ago I mentioned wanting to show you some things I've made but was too excited about exhibitions and shows I saw last week to actually get to the showing off part, so here's what I was on about....

Almost a year ago I set myself the crazy goal of crocheting 200 blocks from Jan Eaton's book. Well, I'm nowhere near 200 yet - surprised?  but I have made seven new additions to the collection and took them to the park last weekend for a photoshoot.

I've added a black border to all the blocks that isn't in the book - for consistency when I join them.

  1. O... I have this book too!
    To date I've spent most of my time just lusting after all the blocks... but next year there will hopefully be more action.

    Loving your blocks muchly - the lemon peel block looks brilliant. So textured. (...and regretably kinda like my thighs!)
