Happy Circles Table Runner - Pattern

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauralrf/4769201297/in/photostream/

This is a pattern which I really fancy doing. I think this is the one on Fiona's blog  http://frou-frou.co.uk  but I'll have to check with her this Friday afternoon at the Bean & Brush cafe.

Here's the pattern instructions that go with it...

Make a chain (multiple of 8). I made 56 chains (Fig. 1)

Make a shell of 6 dc at the 4th. chain from hook, and close the shell with a st (slip stitch) at the 4th. chain from the shell center. (Fig. 2)

Continue making shells of 6 dc all along the chain. The center of each shell will be at the 4th. chain from the last "st" of the previous shell. (Fig. 3)

Turn down your work and start making shells in the opposite side. (Fig. 4)

Make 3 dc and join the circle to the previous color circles row with a slip stitch. (Fig. 5)

Complete the circle with 3 dc and close it with a slip stitch (Fig. 6)


...oooOOOooo...

First Time Ripple

 Here's some pics of my first time ripple......made using Lucy's Neat Ripple pattern - see link below http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/neat-ripple-pattern.html

It's going to be a cushion cover for an 18" pad but I still need to add about another 7 rows of ripples then double crochet up both sides before I turn it into a cushion cover.

The number of foundation chains used was (5 x 14) for the ripples  + 3 for the turning chain = 73

Anybody out there ?

I suppose all new bloggers feel like this blogging lark is a bit pointless when no-one is reading...hey-ho....it's good to use it as a diary though....

I've got loads of things I want to stick on my blog but don't want to give up my time trying to locate all my fave photos because I want to crooooooo-chet.

Must write a list of stuff i want to show....

Title ? Hmmmmm

Time to have a quick fiddle about with post and see what I can do and add in....I have fingers twitching at the ready to do something creative.
ooooh a jump break...not sure what that does...soon find out.

I think that creating a blog will help me if I ever need to create a website for myself.
