BAWJ2019 – Weeks 9-12!


Hi everyone! 


My BAWJ2019 is coming along nicely! I have 13 squares completed now, all in different colour combinations. What do you think of my e-afghan? 

BAWJ2019 – Weeks 9-12!

This is going to be a bit of a long post because I have FOUR squares to show you! 


If you want to join in on BAWJ2019, check out Julie’s Facebookgroupblog and Ravelry Board for more information.

WEEK 9 – QUATREFOIL ROSETTE by LISA MAUSER

Pattern: https://thislittlehookofmine.blogspot.com/2019/03/quatrefoil-rosette.html

Yarn colours: Teal, Cream, Indigo, Storm, Sage, Old Gold, Graphite



This square was well written and worked up very nicely. It was interesting to use so many colours – the other squares so far have a maximum of 4-5 colours.



The texture is lovely! And even the back is nice. 



WEEK 10 – ROSEBUD FLOWER SQUARE by CHERYL DEE CROCHET

Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rosebud-flower-square


Yarn colours: Graphite, Cherry, Raspberry, Cream, Rose, Iron 



I particularly liked how this square took into account the twist from hdc rows by changing direction each row – the backs of the hdc stitches provide a different texture, and the square stayed very straight!



I’m not sure how much I love the little extra rosebud, but it’s nice to learn new techniques.



It’s easier to see on the back how the alternating hdc rows keep the square nice and straight:



WEEK 11 – MISTLEY by JACQUI GOULBOURN

Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mistley-square

Yarn colours: Heather, Olive, Coral and Copper





Another well written square! It’s so nice when a pattern just slides off the hook without much thought or consideration! 



I wish the centre circle was a bit more… circular, but maybe blocking will assist with that, if I can be bothered.



WEEK 12 – LITHA by KRIS KELLN

Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/litha-2


Yarn colours: Silver, Lupin, Violet, Graphite



Talk about a well-written pattern! I think this is my favourite square so far – interesting stitches, not overly complicated but extremely easy to follow. If only all patterns were like this!



Again, I wish the centre diamond was, well, centred, but maybe the little twist is a design feature not a bug 😛 



Phew, I’m up to date (and up to date on here) – bring on the next 36 weeks!
