If you want to join in on BAWJ2019 and see the squares we’ve been working over the year, check out Julie’s Facebookgroup, blog and Ravelry Board for more information.
WEEK 31 – OCTOBER LOVE by AURORA SUOMINEN
Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/october-love
Yarn colours: Sage, Rose, Copper
Oh, it was so nice to have a relatively simple pattern this week! The clean lines made it the perfect opportunity to show off the Stylecraft Batik Elements in the centre section.
WEEK 32 – RINSKE SQUARE by SUSAN CARLSON
Pattern: https://feltedbutton.com/blogs/new-felted-button-blog/free-crochet-pattern-rinske-square
Yarn colours: Olive (no longer available), Plum and Coral
I enjoyed playing with the colours on this incredible textured square. It uses a lot of yarn, with rows layered over one another! Felted Button writes beautifully clear patterns that are easy to follow.
Look at all that texture!
WEEK 33 – FLORA & FAUNA by SANDRA ENG
Pattern: https://mobiusgirldesign.com/flora-fauna-free-crochet-block-pattern/
Yarn colours: Gold, Raspberry, Mint, Silver
I’m not sure where the fauna are in this square, but I do love it! It worked up pretty square, and the textures are lovely.
These rich colours in the Stylecraft Batik made the design sing, in my opinion 🙂
WEEK 34 – AMAYA by MELISSA GREEN
Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/amaya-3
Yarn colours: Lupin, Cream
As advertised, this square worked up quickly and easily. I followed the colour change directions in the pattern, and it came out quite nicely!
WEEK 35 – ARBORETUM SQUARE by SONYA BLACKSTONE
Pattern: https://blackstone-designs.com/arboretum-square/
Yarn colours: Mint, Plum, Heather
Hoo boy. No amount of blocking is going for make this look straight. I don’t know how Julie did it in her test version!
The techniques were interesting to learn, and the design is fascinating but I think I’d need to change directions each row to get it to any semblance of straight. Overall it is square though!
PHEW. Next instalment: Squares 36-40!
