I don't think you're a crafter, I think you're someone who WANTS to be, but can't.

Granny Square Bikini? NO THANK YOU!

Hi Lucy I was inspired by your baby blanket and have done my own version - heavily adapted to be nearly large enough for a double bed!. pics in my rav projects if you want to peek!

Hi, I just stumbled across your blog tonight. I had to chuckle when I saw the pictures - I have this very same book. My grandmother gave it to me ages ago. I've been crocheting since I was 7. Don't you love finding inspiration from old funky patterns? I'm always picking up books like this one at garage/estate sales. It's amazing to me that I can take one of these patterns and update it and they'll look nothing alike. Old and funky turns into new and FUNkay. lol Anyway, thanks for the chuckle. I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes those books.

i really enjoy you blog

I've been reading your blog and I find you very inspiring. I'm 40 years old and I've got 3 young daughters. My dream is to stay at home and make beautiful things like you. I'm starting to teach myself to crochet and hope to be able to duplicate the blanket you made with the tiny squares. I'm from South Africa. Warm regards Tracy.

The blanket is stunning! (or will be). Can't wait to see it. You've inspired me to try my hand at a gift for a good friend who's pregnant with her first child. Would you be willing to post the pattern for the little squares? My apologies if it's a copyright issue. Love your blog, and your amazing sense of color.

Dot

Hiya, I really love your balnket(and blog come to mention it). Have you written a tutorial for the baby blanket? Or come across the pattern on the web anywhere? I'm expecting my first granchild and so want to make a similar blanket but haven't been able to find anything at all!

Hi, could you explain how to the little half-granny-squares? The triangle ones at the ends?

I have been searching the net and can only find patterns for the more traditional, hole-y, granny squares in half form, and I've tried but I can't manage to convert those to this kind of solid pattern!

Hope you can help, Thanks so much!

Hello Lucy,The way you make these colourfull crochet things maken me really happy.
I'm making a blanket of squares .I often look at your site for more colourfull things you're making , i have not so much time and I don't know how you make all these blankets and so by yourself but i think it is really nice .diana

Ohhh my Miss Lucy I think your baby rug is going to look divine in 'your colours'... what a lovely pattern idea... OOroo... B

Lucy
It is funny how times and their looks change. I see the
Chrysantheum (sp?) table runner and that does remind me of your tastes. The colors you use make the "new" type of crochet look more modern and less like my grandmother's. Although, I appreciated hers as well.

Hi Lucy

I'm a novice crocheter and have just found your blog. I found your lovely summer flowers granny square so easy and I'm no talent when it comes to crochet!!! I love love love the wagon wheel granny square! I don't suppose you'd have a pattern for it please??? I'd love to give it a try!! Thank you!

Just discovered you through Tip Nut who photographed your magical tote bag. I live in Northumberland too, the frozen north at the minute, and I spent the most happy couple of hours on your web site. I think you are a personal friend now! I am older than you by far, and have used your colours for a long time, to the degree, my husband calls our house 'the disney grotto'. Personally I think you have wonderful taste. lol!!!! You and your family are just a breath of fresh air. Keep doing what you do, you delight so many people. I left your website with the feel good factor, thankyou so much for being you.

Emma

Hi Lucy - I want to thank you for you blog, it really inspires me and brightens my day. Thanks to your excellent instructions I now have a fab hexagon cushion cover. Making it was so enjoyable and looking at it makes me smile :-)

I love the squares and chevron that you showed above, and spent the weekend making the small squares and just have to figure out how to make the chevron borders now...

Thanks again,
Emma in Kilkenny :-)

Karen

Hi Lucy! This is my very first visit to your blog and I'll definitely be back. I love your use of color and your tutorials look great.

I'm a yarn lover...using it in crochet and knitting. Also a quilter.

Congrats on your new baby boy!

Best wishes to you from Mich., USA!

Actually, I LOVE the bikini and the top that goes with it!

Now what have you gone and done??? Got me hankering after knitted sunbathing garments.

If you are able to post a pattern or find a pattern for one, I'd be most grateful.

Your blog is wonderful! I love the colors you use, and as I am really into grannysquares myself, this blog is one of my favorites! Fun to look at photos of all the different granny-products :-)

I had the rainbow vest, which my mum crocheted for me in the 70's. Actually I had a couple, but don't tell anyone!
