Yesterday Hubby and I went to the Oulten Park Gold Cup. We go every year to watch the racing of vintage cars and have fun deciding which cars we would like lined up in the garage.
The photo's I took of the cars on the race track are a bit blurred, they were going so fast!Anyway I took along my next crochet project, to make this.....
...into a blanket. I am using this pattern from Lucy at Attic 24. But my colours are a touch more Autumnal. (that is a sage green not a grey by the way)
This was me trying to work out the pattern while hubby watched the racing during a heavy shower.
"Scream if you want to go faster!"
and what cars did we choose?
Hubby wanted this one above-he's stuck int the 1970's!
and I wanted this one-
I also want to thank the people who left comments for ideas on my last post about my crochet- I'll keep you posted!
Lovely colours for the crochet - look forward to seeing the end result!

Yes, I think I like your choice Lyn. Quite snazzy. And be sure to keep us posted on your crochet progress.
ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteFantastic colours for your blanket Lyn.
Have a nice week.

My boys love days out at the races. When we stopped off at the spooky derelict house we had been to Donnington to watch some races that seem to have some affiliation to the premiership football (I just got the tickets free from the Internet - Brownie points!!) I seem to remember we had a discussion about your crochet - how many squares have you done so far? I think that this post is an attempt to make it look like you have done crafting over the 6 months holidays. My suspicion is that you have only done the one square!!! Can't blame you though - youve done loads of great gadding about - that's what the summer is for!! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI like the car that you picked better :)! And I like the colors you picked for the crochet. That's a very nice pattern too - I have only ever crocheted traditional granny squares, but like that variation.
ReplyDeleteOur Mommy likes your car choice, too! ;) She knows nothing about how to do crochet or any of that stuff, but likes the colors you have. Hope it turns out well.
ReplyDeleteRoxy wanted to be sure and come by to say thank you to you and Lucy for the lovely birthday greetings you left for her today (Tuesday)!
Purrs and hugs,
The Kitty Krew
Ooh Lyn, your mosaics are really lovely. I am trying to do it now, thanks to your top tips x
ReplyDeleteI am so so jelous of all you crocheters out there as I am an abject failure, much documented, tee hee,
Have a lovely week and thanks again for my award, you're lovely :D Sarah x
great day out especially taking along the crochet!!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours Lyn, I have just completed my first ever square of crochet and it is amazing how pleased I am with it. Hopefully it will be joined by enough others to become a blanket, but we will see, its an achievement in itself for me! The cushion on your last blog was gorgeous , but it looks a good bit beyond me for now, maybe one day..... Lovely blog, Karen x
ReplyDeleteDad will drool over these cars!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great day out - like the shape of the silver car but I've no idea what it is:)
ReplyDeleteThose granny squares look like fun! i haven't crocheted in (yikes...) 30 years??...so the bobbles might require some concentration to get right, but they're so pretty, they look worth a try. Like your color combo. I have to agree, i have no idea what that silver beauty is, but i like it a whole lot better than the orange muscle car (a Camaro?).
ReplyDeleteI have gone mosaic crazy! and it's all down to you!
ReplyDeleteLove you for getting me out of my mosaic hell and into colour and fun and creating lovely stuff! YOU'RE THE BEST!

My dad had a Capri - think it might have been his first car. They still look good!
ReplyDeleteHubby's choice was a Ford Capri 2lt Injection and mine is a Morgan Aero 8! For those that wanted to know!!!
ReplyDeleteLove
