The first block is called TOM and it was quite quick to crochet; I had half of the first one finished while I waited in the car, picking up Cohen from school. The pattern is very clearly written and easy to follow and I was quite proud of my first attempt.
I had to crochet nine of these little 5" blocks to complete the first part and because they are portable, I managed to finish them quite quickly either in the car or while dinner was cooking. All my ends were sewn in and then they were ready for blocking.
I love how blocking really exposes that centre wheel; they look so pretty. So Part 1 is complete and I'm (im)patiently waiting for the next installment.
I'd just like to take a moment to welcome all the new followers to my blog. I know most of you have come to visit from the lovely Jenny of Elefantz. Your comments and emails were all so lovely and encouraging (and I'm positive I have answered everyone but I apologise if I have missed a comment). For those who asked, I have added the "Follow By Email" link on my sidebar, as this is your preferred method of reading blogs. Also some of you asked for me to continue adding the collages of the Chatelaine Blocks, so I will add the ones I haven't yet shared, to next Wednesdays post. I hope you enjoy visiting my blog and find a little inspiration in the things I share.
Thanks again to everyone, especially to Jenny. She transformed one of my blocks into a gorgeous pincushion and it illustrates just how versatile it is to have a reference of sampler blocks in your collection for all your projects and I'm sure she will share it with you soon :)
