Block Stitch Afghan : the way I do it !!!! .....what about two more pictures of my blanket to be???? Some of you asked me how the "dots" ( I call them "rice grains"!!!)

Collect just few things : + hook + yarn in different colours + scissors + tapestry needle This is the chart (american crochet terminology), drawn by myself (!!!!!!) Your foundation chain will have these characteristics : chain 4, add as many as you like groups of "chain 3".

Choose the colour you would love to start with and make a slip knot.

In fact as I was making the purse I was debating between a purse or a pillow but the purse took a lot less time so laziness won and I made a purse for my little girl :) This pattern follows the same pattern as the owl pillow. I just LOVE how this turned out! The colors were inspired by a sweater my daughter had when she was about a year old. I have wanted to make this project in these colors for so long and today was just the right day :) I got to sit out back in the sunshine and make this (until a rogue wasp dive-bombed me!

I am not going to go into a whole lot of detail about color switching and what not. You could also use this same pattern below to increase the size of the purse to a more adult size. Follow the link to the purse pattern above and complete it until row 4 (using a size G hook). This is as large as I made the "belly". Now to make the "head" This is the first side of your owl.

Giant doily rug or floor mat is one of the most wanted crochet rugs in the recent years since it was created and made well-known by Ladies & Gentleman. Look at it, doesn’t its sublimity spice up the floor and the home decor? This giant doily rug is for my sister’s new house, I am going to make another one for mine when I am moving in… hopefully end of this year. The pattern I used is a modified 8-Point Poinsettia Doily from a Japanese crochet book, but basically you can use your favorite doily pattern to make it.

Personally, I like my rug to be denser (lesser holes) with more double crochet stitches, so I chose this doily pattern. The crochet hook to do this giant doily rug is size 10mm (N hook), it come in a set of 4 by Susan Bates Multi-Pack-Contains Sizes L,M,N,P . Took part of the time since it comes in 200 feet each and I used 7 of them to make this. The total working hour to complete this doily rug is approximately 16 hours.
