Calling all Hyperbolic Enthusiasts

for those who don’t already know there is a new Aussie Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef project in the making – anyone interested can check out The Sydney version of the Institute for Figuring’s Hyperbolic Crochet Reef Group on Ravelry or The Sydney Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef  website – there are PDF patterns to download for those new to the idea & also check out my ‘links of interest’ websites showing what’s been done around the world – Exciting stuff & really interested to see what develops here in Australia….

Here are some of my early pieces, created long before I ever heard about Hyperbolic Crochet… but now I can’t wait to get started all over again on this new project…

 

2009 FF Crochet Challenge – 4 Seasons

Summer: the time for tropical flowers, the beach, the surf, & an abundance of sunshine

 

 

Winter: when all Australian wild flowers are in their full glory

found this fun project that might be of interest to all you knitters & crocheters who like to do something different – experienced or not – check out grrl & dog

 

I’m giving it a go – not sure what I’ll do yet but I’m sure something will come to me while  rummaging through my stash

here too is my latest Etsy listing ‘Spring – freeform floral bag’

What do you reckon?

3 step Summer Shrug

This little number is the easiest garment you’ll ever make – it is worked by size not number of stitches & as with all my recent patterns I like to think that even the most basic beginner will be able to have a go & make something other than a crochet square

The pattern is in both UK & US terminology with stitch drawings & diagrams & because it’s such an easy pattern to read, it will help the beginner gain confidence reading & understanding other patterns – for the more experienced it’s a quick garment to knock over in a few hours
3 Step Summer Shrug  is for sale on Ravelry

$5.00 USD 

I just know you’ll love this pattern & use it over & over again… Renate

Flower Patterns up & running

In response to everyone who PM’d me about Gran’s Garden patterns, they are now up & running for sale – as a whole & as individual patterns – enjoy!!

Patterns (for both the complete rug & individual squares) are in written & diagram form, using UK & US terminology & include abbreviations, special stitch drawings & instructions.
