BAMCAL catchup

i can't believe its already August, as usual the year is flying by. i've started thinking about warmer days and summery projects to plan for outdoor crafting at barbecues, the beach and watching the kids cricket matches. of all the crafts i love to do, crochet is one of the most portable and it's easy to keep track of during all those welcome interruptions you get on summer days!

thoughts of crochet reminded me of my temporarily abandoned 2012BAMCAL project and how nice it will be when finished at the end of the year; a lovely colourful cotton blanket for hot nights. i hopped onto Ravelry quick smart to download the next lot of blocks. i'm a bit behind so those hooks will be flashing madly this week before the August blocks are posted. here are the three i made yesterday.

by the way, if you spied the delicious bag charm on the denim bag in yesterday's post, it was made by my other very talented sister Barb who does fabulous things with beads as well as beautifully made clothes. thanks Barb!
