Queenieamanda: Mmmm - I don't think my last photo posted properly, so here's a second one from a similar angle taken at the same time. It's the Zodiac blanket, photographed on Brendon Common #amandaperkins #crochetblanket #crocheting #zodiac #zodiacsigns #crochet #gran
Queenieamanda: Found the perfect Zodiac photographic wall at Oare Church. The only issue is that the top of the wall is lumpy, but the colour and light is good. 7 days and counting down till I launch the pattern πŸ˜ƒ #amandaperkins #grannysquare #crochetpattern #cr
Queenieamanda: But in between the last book blanket and the new Zodiac blanket I need to finish @thelittlegreysheep Belladonna scarf 😍 At the moment it's sitting in its basket waiting patiently, but the colours keep calling me, MUST resist!!!! #grannysquare #
Queenieamanda: Just checking in, in case you wondered why I'd disappeared. I've got 9 weeks until my book deadline and need to finish this which is the last blanket, plus all the pattern writing...... #crochetdesigner #amandaperkins #crochetblanket #crochetaddict #croch
Queenieamanda: I love this photo, Belladonna and autumnal moorland heather 😍 @thelittlegreysheep #thelittlegreysheep #crochetaddict #crochetscarf #grannysquare #crocheting #crochet #amandaperkins
Queenieamanda: Belladonna scarf is a bit mental.... #crochetaddict #thelittlegreysheep #amandaperkins #crochet #grannysquare #crochetscarf
Queenieamanda: And the last photo of today is Serefina on a rock, so you can see all the colour detail. Incidentally @skeinqueen has rather a nice Merino/Silk that would also work well πŸ˜„ #grannysquares #grannysquare #crochetaddict #crochet #crocheting #skeinqueen
Queenieamanda: Thought you might like another photo of Rita to brighten the start of your dayπŸ˜ƒ #amandaperkins #grannysquares #grannysquare #crochetaddict #crochet #crochetaddict #crochetblanket #theknittinggoddess
Queenieamanda: Working on a major update and re-write of my Rita crochet blanket pattern. The new yarn recommendation is going to be @theknittinggoddess Britsock, which is a perfect replacement for the original NDS yarn and even better it's spun at @johnarbontextiles mi
Queenieamanda: And this is version 1 and 2 together. I've already decided which one to continue with, but I'd love to hear what you thing....πŸ˜„ #amandaperkins #crochet #crochetaddict #crochetblanket #grannysquare #grannysquares
Queenieamanda: Today's photo shoot was both the Zodiac blankets, which I can't share until November when the pattern is published πŸ˜ƒ I've already shared the progress photos up to September and this is a corner, so maybe you can imagine what the finished design wil
Queenieamanda: Yesterday I published a new version of my Kaleidoscope blanket pattern. I've edited all the layout charts, yarn info & reformatted it. You can find it in all the normal places, Etsy, Raverly, Craftsy, Love Crochet etc etc If you've already bought it from
Queenieamanda: Am having loads of fun making a colour swatch octopus for @theknittinggoddess Although it's taking me a lot longer than I originally thought. #theknittinggoddess #crochetdesigner #colourwheel
Queenieamanda: Not so sunny tonight, but the heather and gorse flowers are out, so the hillsides are full of colour. #exmoor #countisburyhill #bristolchannel #lynton #lyntonlife #gorse #heather
Queenieamanda: Book blanket number 9 is finished I wish I could show you more of it as its a show stopper, but you'll have to wait until the book comes out next year πŸ˜„ One more blanket left to make, I planning to make it the grand finale to 2 years solid crochetin
Queenieamanda: My last DK blanket for my 2016 book is nearly finished. This means I only have one blanket left to make and I am only one blanket away from finishing 2 years worth of work. It makes me feel happy and sad all at the same time πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜” #grannysquar
Queenieamanda: This morning's plan is to finish the Harlequin pattern πŸ˜› So no new photos yet, but here is the Kaleidiscope on Saturdays shoot, a possible new cover for the pattern?? #crochet #crochetaddict #crochetblanket #grannysquare #grannysquares #a

Queenieamanda: Photo shoot done, think I might have some really nice Harlequin photos, so I thought I'd post a few here The colours are a bit off in this one, but I love sideways shots πŸ˜ƒ #amandaperkins #grannysquares #grannysquare #crochetaddict #crochet #croche

Queenieamanda: The morning of Harlequin Day 14 Done!! πŸŽ‰πŸ˜ƒπŸŽ‰ It's taken 14 days from skein to finished blanket, when I started I was doubtful I'd attain my self imposed deadline, but I have πŸ˜ƒ I'm just about wash it and will be working on the pattern
Queenieamanda: Harlequin Day 14 100 squares finished plus 13 squares worth of ends. So I will finish it today πŸŽ‰πŸ˜ƒπŸŽ‰ But yet again I have made a blanket that's impossible to photograph....sigh.... Any way, it will be washed tomorrow, hopefully dry by Thurs
Queenieamanda: Harlequin Day 13 (I think) 86 motifs finished, 24 to go, plus a few ends. If work extra hard today and tomorrow I should have it finished on Wednesday. #crochet #crochetblanket #grannysquare #knitbynumbers #grannysquares #johnarbontextiles #crochetaddict

Queenieamanda: And the way through Loki's suffering the tiny rat Princess lurcher is laying sulking on the sofa, because she doesn't get to go to work any more and she had gravy in her tea last night and knows that breakfast is just going to be boring old dog food!! #Lu
Queenieamanda: Loki's morning routine... While I'm making my toast and coffee, he stares at me, stares at his food bowl, stares at me, stares at his food bowl and so on, smiling and wagging the whole time. As soon as I sit down to eat my toast he lays at my feet whimp
