<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to create a burst of sunlight</span><br />
<br />
Then I found this image<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-diNqgYnjcg4/XYrI_wItwnI/AAAAAAAAFZY/7TwA9YcNhZoBI9PhnBTb4T5dVtBwCRidgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/sunburst.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="380" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-diNqgYnjcg4/XYrI_wItwnI/AAAAAAAAFZY/7TwA9YcNhZoBI9PhnBTb4T5dVtBwCRidgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/sunburst.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I played with crochet stitches and designs, over and over again<br />
<br />
<br />
Eventually, I came up with this design<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0ZiEVAuYwjk/XYrJhp0jbEI/AAAAAAAAFZg/sO9ID8vLVlMZHhWoq7u09vuCdec03x8gQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/GEDC1737.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1482" data-original-width="1600" height="370" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0ZiEVAuYwjk/XYrJhp0jbEI/AAAAAAAAFZg/sO9ID8vLVlMZHhWoq7u09vuCdec03x8gQCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/GEDC1737.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
But I prefer something useful. So I decided to make it into a cushion<br />
<br />
I could have made it into a round cushion like this. But I decided to play some more. I'll turn it into a square<br />
<br />
I wanted to try something different to square it off. And I wanted to incorporate the border again, I really liked the way that turned out<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So eventually I came up with this cushion </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YufdN59-hy8/XYrKxtmyunI/AAAAAAAAFZs/LhDkpkVl7l0fVAPaCnM6W1kHqh7ngoKwQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/GEDC1772.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1529" data-original-width="1600" height="305" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YufdN59-hy8/XYrKxtmyunI/AAAAAAAAFZs/LhDkpkVl7l0fVAPaCnM6W1kHqh7ngoKwQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/GEDC1772.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And now for the back. Do I just do a fabric back? No. I wanted more crochet. But I also want to do something that will match..... But not the same ..... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally I came up with this</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Worked as a square, but still using some overlay stitches</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<h3>
I've decided to make my free patterns also available as printable pdfs</h3>
<br />
They are still available for free here, but if you want a nice easy way to print it, you will be able to download it for a small fee<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<h3>
Patterns take a very long time, and a lot of effort to create</h3>
<h3>
<br />It is a huge process, that includes many steps</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RktmoXcIqug/XZBVyy5PdmI/AAAAAAAAFaM/0VS7kIx4bc8Kv9I6VWcgaL6qAwagTHRUwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="925" data-original-width="960" height="308" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RktmoXcIqug/XZBVyy5PdmI/AAAAAAAAFaM/0VS7kIx4bc8Kv9I6VWcgaL6qAwagTHRUwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/111.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Thinking of the design</span></b><br />
<br />
Occasionally this step can be easy.<br />
<br />
But most often it takes a lot of thought and ideas, and looking at a lot of inspiration<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Creating the design</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
This is probably the hardest part.<br />
<br />
What yarn, or thread would work best for this?<br />
<br />
What stitch, or combination of stitches would work best for this?<br />
<br />
How many stitches will I need?<br />
<br />
Then it needs to be made, and undone, and made, and undone, many times, usually, until it's right, and it works the way I want it<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Writing it up</span></b><br />
<br />
This is another challenging part. I usually write notes as I go. But it's a completely different thing to have the pattern written with all the proper terms and wording in it.<br />
<br />
It takes a lot of work going through the whole pattern to add all the words, terms and phrases in the proper crochet terms so that everyone can understand it<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Testing</span></b><br />
<br />
This is where other people come into it<br />
<br />
I need a range of people who can read crochet patterns to look through the pattern, and crochet the item<br />
<br />
They will see it through new eyes, being unfamiliar with the design, they will often see errors, or better ways with wording than I can<br />
<br />
I'm often amazed at what I can miss. And how different testers can see different things<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Final pattern</span></b><br />
<br />
And finally we have the final pattern<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

All my patterns are pretty cheap, especially when you consider my most expensive pattern might only just buy me a coffee in Australia.<br />
<br />
The pdf's are $2 Australian, which is half a coffee<br />

<br />
<br />
I have decided to have a crochet-along (CAL) for this pattern, Sunburst Mandala Cushion<br />
<br />
What is a crochet-along? It is a group of people who work on crochet a pattern at the same time.<br />
<br />
You work at your own pace, and if you fall behind, it doesn't matter. But there will be support from many others along the way<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In this case, there will be 5 parts to the pattern, with a new part posted each week<br />
<br />
This will start on the 10th of November, and will be hosted by this <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/CrochetALongwithUs/" target="_blank">Crochet along group</a><br />
<br />
<br />
It's all online. So no need to turn up anywhere, you can do it no matter where you live in the world. You can also create your own get together to have a fun and a coffee while crocheting<br />
<br />
<br />

Blocking Really Necessary?</b></span></span></div>

<div align="left" style="background: transparent; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">People often ask if blocking is

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background: transparent; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The bottom line is that there are no
hard and fast rules. You can do what you want, it's your crochet</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background: transparent; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background: transparent; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background: transparent; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">BUT if you want your work to look
professional and clean, blocking will help</span></div>

<div align="left" style="background: transparent; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background: transparent; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Blocking helps the stitches stand out,
gives them each their own clear space. It also sets the work to a
particular shape and size. It can also stretch the item slightly, if
needed</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>But
do you need to do it to everything you crochet?</b></span> </span>
</div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background: transparent; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Not really. If you're making a doily
or snowflakes, it's definitely worth it. But if you are crocheting
blocks for a blanket, and they're all going to be joined up, it's
probably not worth it, unless the sizes are too different</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But
if you don’t, my preferred way is to print out the template on the

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If
the item is a bit larger, you can print the template with the poster
option on the computer, printing it out on 4 or more pages. The pages
then get joined together on the blocking board</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Blocking is a term used to describe
the process of pinning the crochet out to the proper shape and size. It separates the stitches and relaxes them into shape.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Blocking is great for all fibres, but acrylic will need heat. I prefer to wet and pin and steam it. It also softens the fibres</span><br />

<br />
I took a while to figure out the best options for my initials and date. But I finally figured it out<br />
<br />
I decided it needed to be bead embroidery for the initials. But the date was too small for that. Stem stitch was not going well for it either. In the end I chose back stitch<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "chewy"; font-size: 19.8px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "chewy"; font-size: 19.8px;">This pattern was created to make a blanket for a girl that was attacked terribly. I wanted to do something special for her. So I created a hexagon for people to add to the blanket</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Chewy; font-size: 19.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "chewy"; font-size: 19.8px;">Read more about it here: </span><a href="https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/01/hexes-against-bullies.html" style="background-color: white; color: #cc66cc; font-family: Chewy; font-size: 19.8px; text-decoration-line: none;">https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/01/hexes-against-bullies.html</a><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "chewy"; font-size: 19.8px;">First I made this pattern <a href="https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/12/hexagon-pattern-one-uk-terms.html" target="_blank">here</a>. But decided it might be too much for every hexagon to be the same, and some people might find it too difficult. So I created this other plain one. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Chewy; font-size: 19.8px;" />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Chewy; font-size: 19.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "chewy"; font-size: 19.8px;">This pattern is available to everyone for free. But I ask you not to share it, or claim it as your own, but feel free to share the link from here. I also ask you to please think about bullying, and the terrible effect it has on people, while making it</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "chewy"; font-size: 19.8px;">This pattern was created to make a blanket for a girl that was attacked terribly. I wanted to do something special for her.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "chewy"; font-size: 19.8px;">First I made this fancier pattern (find it <a href="https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/12/hexagon-pattern-one-uk-terms.html" target="_blank">here</a>). But decided it might be too much for every hexagon to be the same, and some people might find it too difficult. So I created this other plain one. The 2 together are perfect</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "chewy"; font-size: 19.8px;">This pattern is available to everyone for free. But I ask you not to share it, or claim it as your own, but feel free to share the link from here. I also ask you to please think about bullying, and the terrible effect it has on people, while making it</span><br />

This pattern was created to make a blanket for a girl that was attacked terribly. I wanted to do something special for her.<br />
<br />
Read more about it here: <a href="https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/01/hexes-against-bullies.html">https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/01/hexes-against-bullies.html</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First I made this pattern. But decided it might be too much for every hexagon to be the same, and some people might find it too difficult. So I created another plain one. Pattern is <a href="https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/12/hexagon-pattern-2-uk-terms.html" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
<br />
This pattern is available to everyone for free. But I ask you not to share it, or claim it as your own, but feel free to share the link from here. I also ask you to please think about bullying, and the terrible effect it has on people, while making it<br />

This pattern was created to make a blanket for a girl that was attacked terribly. I wanted to do something special for her, so I created a group to make hexagons to be joined together to make a blanket<br />
<br />
Read more about it here: <a href="https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/01/hexes-against-bullies.html">https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/01/hexes-against-bullies.html</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First I made this pattern. But decided it might be too much for every hexagon to be the same, and some people might find it too difficult. So I created another plain one. Pattern is <a href="https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/12/hexagon-pattern-2-uk-terms.html" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This pattern is available to everyone for free. But I ask you not to share it, or claim it as your own, but feel free to share the link from here. I also ask you to please think about bullying, and the terrible effect it has on people, while making it<br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HTanNasepXU/W-UbudoeX2I/AAAAAAAAEw4/-RO7r4EfTcg7maZucCJqHVtG_N4-JEZ6QCLcBGAs/s1600/crazyquilt1%2Ba.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1233" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HTanNasepXU/W-UbudoeX2I/AAAAAAAAEw4/-RO7r4EfTcg7maZucCJqHVtG_N4-JEZ6QCLcBGAs/s200/crazyquilt1%2Ba.JPG" width="153" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I was thinking I really need to do some more ribbon embroidery. It was so long ago that I'd done some<br />
<br />
I decided to look around on the internet for inspiration, and stumbled across some online courses for crazy quilting<br />
<br />
I'd never heard of this before. It involves sewing pieces of fabrics together, thread embroidery on the seams, then ribbon embroidery added, and so much more<br />
<br />
I was ready to play<br />
<br />
Each time we finish a task, we will be given another<br />
<br />
Task 1, 2, and 3 was a bit of reading and learning, and choosing supplies. Then at task 4 we got to cut and sew the pieces of fabric together.<br />
<br />
It took me a bit to figure out what was required. But then it clicked<br />
<br />
It wasn't too even at first, so I un-picked the edges and straightened it out a bit<br />
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoaKtd_o1mPs4Lq6pxKpQQZMLRaDsMaoIVAMFxb5K8JolQZhvNo4CV0-E5Pz7nnvrPkHq_7A7-5rR3h0_3dcTYha19CgnmgIJeansaq1FEaMJgYiypVa6_eCdrm6gxulDIWwla2GqXItjt/s320/GEDC2628.JPG" /><br />
<br />
<br />
The next task was to show off some of the beads i had in my stash<br />
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdiwHvmBGNx3rBKN7Nee3m6EHJ2V7f1kd8OVQDlZoUd_tVxY-vPvmhVNw8Vghhhci6i_AAefOpDjsARme1Bs-y9S0eDar8wNlPzzXulzXGRKdXPTw9HrxEVWRk5DCO2Oi6todBD8mLuCZ1/s320/GEDC2656.JPG" /><br />
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW1HxYTasEBPtWGID30XukmkZftn2kBV2OgI8yQ2Bg9mGLuyqepTP68Iyi4jgDoMTxdjS9Okx9jMwF-QSiz1c11L1cEn-qmbrU4yHsAkJI7UuaZYpazoMnBzORLkckRj4YklrafFXQedvs/s320/GEDC2658.JPG" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then I could start a bit of embroidery on some of the seams on my straightened out crazy quilt piece<br />
<br />

<br />
Probably my favorite part was the french knot flowers (I think they're hyacinths)<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've covered several things that can go wrong with the flat circle in previous posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This time I will talk about hook size</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Sometimes
the wrong sized hook can also have an effect of the flatness of the
circle. </span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In
general, a too small hook will make the circle smaller. Here the same yarn is used with a 2 mm hook. This time the circle measures 8.5 mm</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">And a
too large hook will make it larger. Here a 6 mm hook was used. It now measures 13.5 mm</span></span><br />

Here is the circle made with the 6 mm hook. There is only a tiny bit of waving<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If
for any reason the circle is wavy, the general way to fix it is to
make LESS increases, but if that is not possible, or too difficult, a
SMALLER hook can be used.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">On
the other hand, if the circle is curling up, you need to use MORE
increases, and again, if that is not possible, or too difficult, you
could try a LARGER hook</span><br />
