What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Working on the embellishments for the cat throw. I am finding the chart I made last week extremely useful, and it's fun adjusting it each time I complete another crocheted kitty, and seeing the bottom half of the chart gradually diminishing in number. As you can see,…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? This week I have been working on the embellishments for the cat throw. With a total of 80 squares in the blanket, there are quite a lot of embellishments to make. I have bundled them together according to type, to keep them organised until I can sew…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Working on the cat throw. I decided to join the first column of squares, just to see how it went. I discovered a lovely pattern online for crocheting squares together; I really didn't want to sew them, and I thought a more decorative joining might be fun,…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? 1. Kitty Throw Great progress on the kitty throw this week. I've completed my 80 crochet squares! I just had to finish the embroidery on the cat stitch squares before going on to the next step. I wanted the cats formed by the cat stitch to have…
ShazWhat a wealth of beautiful tributes flowed out last week from my computer screen, about our lovely Shaz who so sadly lost her long battle with cancer recently. I have decided to go through everyone's blog and copy and paste them all, complete with all the photos, and make them into a special…

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? This week I continued working away at my kitty squares. I'm glad I decided to make a round number of 6 of the difficult ones. I've got a bit faster at doing them but constantly make mistakes and have to undo it. The final one, which I…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Continuing with the crochet squares for the kitty throw. After everyone's kind words last week, I decided to take your advice, and persevere with the rather difficult design for this particular square, and make some more of the kitty faces. I've now made 4, and added embroidery…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Same thing as last week - squares for the kitty throw! I decided to do a different style of square, working back and forth rather than in the round, following a graph design of a kitty face. Here is the design I made. My first attempt was…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Still working at squares for the kitty throw. Nothing new to show really, but I'm on the home stretch with the squares, and I've got quite a full bag of them now. I've got to make 80 in all, and then it's on to the kitty appliqué…
