Catherine's Crochet Corner

I decided to join 😀 Isn’t it looking big!

I can’t decide whether I should start joining on to the first half, or whether to keep the two halves separate until the second half is a lot bigger. I am full of indecision. And it’s really not a complex one! But it matters in terms of where I use colours, and if I join … More Mini update number thirteen

One side of the cushion cover is done*, hurrah! Onwards and upwards. I’ve started making motifs for the other side. I’m not going to join straight on to this half, I’m going to ‘grow’ towards it slowly.

However, the wheelchair cushion cover is progressing nicely 🙂 As you know, I’m going to wrap it around both sides, which is why the lower half is trailing on the floor! The edges are starting to form in a couple of places (leftmost side … More Mini update number nine

I want to straighten up the upper left side, at the edge of the cushion, and then fill in the rest of this side. (Don’t mention the … More Mini update number eight

It’s beginning to look quite substantial!! And I’m having so much fun creating lots of different flowers and petal shaped. The colours are just gorgeous and it’s endlessly entertaining to arrange and rearrange new motifs, deciding where to add them on to the main piece and where to add in some extra shaping before adding … More Mini update number seven
