WHERE IS SPRING?


Here we are in the middle of May and the UK is once again under threat of cold temperatures, snow flurries, gale force winds and loads of rain, not to mention loads of grey clouds. 



This colder weather is making me want to hibernate, light the fire, make hot chocolate, curl up and sleep until it's all over!

I am so glad my darling and I managed to get a few good walks accomplished over the last month.  All this  house-boundness is just making me itch to get out.

As promised in a previous blog post, I am now presenting my first spring blossom crochet design for this season.  Inspired by all the lovely spring blossoms found in the English countryside in May.


Crochet Coasters and Placemats SPRING BLOSSOMS


A brightly coloured table set, including a crochet placemat and a crochet coaster. Both circular and both trimmed with a decorative petal edge.

I chose one of my favourite yarns for colour selections, King Cole Bamboo Cotton. I love the vibrant colours, they are almost iridescent, and I think the yarn thickness is just perfect for this crochet table set.

Simply Perfect for summertime celebrations

Choose from the huge selection of colours to make your beautiful crochet table set.  I kept it simple with only three colours, but you could easily make the table set using just two colours or up to eight colours if you wish.  The choice is always yours, so get creative, and make a few, and bring some of those lovely spring colours indoors.  AND HAVE FUN.

I hope you have enjoyed my spring blossom photos and you will enjoy this pattern also.
