Update on my Crochet throw

This is the throw that I am making for my little grand-daughter Florence, she is only just a year old, but I'm hoping this will be something that she will have for years to come. I have a lot more work to do yet as it's only a quarter of the size I want it to be, it's about the size of a very large cushion at the moment.

I didn't want to sew it together in the usual way, so I double crocheted all the squares together. It took ages but was more interesting than just plain sewing. I was taking a bit of a risk as although I had the idea in my head I hadn't a clue if it would work. I am delighted with the result and it gives it a bit of a solid feel, rather than a stretchy one, although it still does have a lot of give.

I crocheted the flower and sewed it on as an afterthought, and I am so pleased with that as well, SO, so far it's working out as I imagined it, I don't have a pattern, so making it up as I go along. I did have a pattern for the flower though, but made a mistake with it as it should have had five petals, and I managed to only do four !!! oh well it looks OK. I will probably add just a couple more flowers of different types, but no more than that or else it takes away the novelty.

Why is it that the word Crocheted doesn't look right ?? I know it is but is looks like a silly word !!

Tomorrow I will post some photo's of the new fabric hearts I have made.
