February is so short!! grumble grumble
I have got some new wool from SKD, I ordered 9 different balls of DROPS Karisma, which is a very reasonably priced DK 100% wool. They are super speedy, I ordered it yesterday at lunchtime and today it was waiting for me whn I got home. I'm really pleased with it, I think it will be very nice for crochet, it seems nice and soft and the colours are lovely.

Anyway, I've been a bit distracted with my crochet cushion, which is nearly finished now, so I have selected romantic colours for February and I am hoping to do my Feb squares over the weekend and next week. My camera batteries are charging, but I'll post a pic of the colours when they are done.

Ta da!

I've done one square for Feb, on the bottom left, and you can see the colours lined up which I intend to use for the others. The idea is soft romantic colours, ivory and grey with pink and passionate purple. This strip is 4 4 round squares and 2 2 round squares.
I think it's going to look nice. Cool

They are gorgeous colours Carola. And they tone in so beautifully with the snowdrop colours.

That is beautiful, mogiebear. The dark red hearts pop out of their light green background and are perfectly balanced by the darker green border Smile

Is the big heart pieced together from different fabrics? - the picture isn't quite big enough to tell.
