HAPPY NEW YEAR
One and All.
I hope you all have your needles and hooks at the ready for a bumper year........and that you received some delightful yarns that you are just itching to create with.
I went shopping with some yarn gift vouchers I received....I don't imagine you can guess what colour was top of my list....haha
I am excited to start the New Year off with the theme...
ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL.
Who doesn't love dogs/puppies? cats and kitties??
From creatures indigenous to our own country, wherever that may be.........
or those from a country we have visited.......
From the exotic to the everyday.
From the tallest giraffe to the tiniest ant....
(where's the ant?... I hear you say...well he is tiny...haha)
and everything in between.
If picture squares are not your thing, please consider creating pjs (plain coloured squares) or striped or half 'n' half squares in colours representative of your favourite (or least favourite) creatures.
(lion, canary and zebra)
Last, but by no means least.....
Our CoM (colour of the month) for January is the most gorgeous, most delightful, most fantastic colour....
PINK
Scientifically, there are around 29,000 different pink shades currently known to man.
Here's just a few.....
Happy Crafting in the New Year. xo

An absolute STUNNER, Sharon!! The colours, the different patterns, the vibrant border, your gorgeous lion....everything just perfect. One lucky child will grab this with both hands and never let go. :))
I made the lion square for the January theme, and just now have completed squares to complement it and turn it into a full blanket. Only 4 months late ... :-)
That’s stunning Sharon…love it!
Sharon this blanket is fantastic. From the superb toning colour choices, to the different crafting techniques and the majestic large picture square it is a massive success and I LOVE IT ❤️✔️
Sharon, to the child who receives it doesn’t matter a jot when it was made, they will be delighted that you did make it for them! The lion is the star of the show, closely followed by the vibrant square and border….. a beautiful, cosy blanket! :))
Thank you, Chris. You are right, of course. Now, if the post offices, both here and in SA will get their issues resolved, so it can be shipped out and on its way to the child.
Thanks for hosting a great month, Bev.
A 40x40cm SuperOwl Square.
