in the pink!

i did some disastrous sewing on the weekend that i just can't bear to show on this blog. i've converted some lovely Japanese voile into a totally unwearable top and i'm not taking the blame! suffice to say, if you have a bust, don't use a Japanese pattern book to make a sleeveless top, get the picture? rather than sink into doldrums, i got out my crochet hooks and worked on my BAMCAL squares instead. mmm, much better.

i can't say that these squares were easy, there was a bit of ripping out involved, but crochet is such a forgiving craft and the finished blocks are really nice. each month i just use whatever colours i'm in the mood for, so i hope it's all going to look good together when finished!

 i did do a sneaky layout of all my finished squares so far and i was surprised to see how much pink i've been using lately. i always think that i don't like pink much, but the next project i'll hopefully be able to show tomorrow is also pink. i must be becoming more girly in my old age!
