We've decided that there are FAR too many crocheted blankets for sale for SO VERY LITTLE. Think of them all, sitting sad and lonely in a sceond hand shop, or even hiding away in a cupboard in someone's house. So we have a new venture: to rescue cheap crocheted rugs! To be honest, it's not benefitting anyone but us - but at least WE know that they'll be appreciated for how much work went into them...because we know how long they take to make!! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So. To begin our rug rescuing campaign, I purchased a massive blanket off Trademe (120 squares, fits a king sized bed!!!). It was made in the 70s, and is in perfect condition. And guess what. It only cost $48NZD. It's a disgrace! I couldn't bear the thought of slaving away over this ginormous thing for my efforts to be sold for a mere $48. I feel so sorry for the person who made it. BUT ANYWAY, it's in a good home now, safe and sound and dearly loved. We'll post them up as we find and buy them. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

It takes a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">lot </i>of perseverance though! You’ll be making square after square thinking, “when will I have enough?” and realise that it will be quite a while until you really have enough to make a decent sized blanket. Or you could give up, like me, and settle for a miniature-dog sized blanket just to feel the anticipated sense of satisfaction of finishing a project...but not quite getting there. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I personally like the multiple peggy square blanket better. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

There are so many motifs you can use in the same way, and there are some fabulous books you can get to help you out with patterns etc. I personally have used some of the square motifs in Erika Knight’s </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Harmony-Guides-Crochet-Stitch-Stitches/dp/1596680830"><span style="font-family: inherit;">‘Crochet Stitch Motifs – 250 to Crochet’</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. But I have heard, and haven’t got around to buying, of some other really good ones. If you’ve crocheted things from these books, let me know how you found it please!</span></div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I don’t know if its always been around or whether there has been a sudden revival – but I like it. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bunting flags are as old as the 18th century. Typically used as festive decorations, bunting is a string of coloured flags representing the national flag or a festive holiday. Originally displayed on ships they then crept onto land, particularly in England.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">These days bunting can be as creative and individual as you are and they’re certainly not limited to being displayed only on holidays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The original fabric, known as ‘bunting’ was a sack like cloth that absorbed and held colour well and was also very hardy (important on a ship). Each individual flag is known as a ‘bunt’ – these days bunting can be made out of anything – even crochet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">They don’t need to be triangle flags either as these images show. Squares, letters and words and any shape you can stitch to your ribbon. </span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">They're so cool, we're making our own buntings at the moment! If you've made buntings, or want to start making some, let us know and show us! </div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">xx CrochetClub</div></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BsUEvsP3tHo/TT59xAqhgdI/AAAAAAAAADI/H_27mfoi01g/s1600/website1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BsUEvsP3tHo/TT59xAqhgdI/AAAAAAAAADI/H_27mfoi01g/s320/website1.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BsUEvsP3tHo/TT59ZBX4QOI/AAAAAAAAACU/WO-xeDSHoHE/s1600/bunting62_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BsUEvsP3tHo/TT59ZBX4QOI/AAAAAAAAACU/WO-xeDSHoHE/s320/bunting62_large.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BsUEvsP3tHo/TT59OsY6yCI/AAAAAAAAABs/kSpkDl6pgOc/s1600/2010-11-06_017_%2528Large%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BsUEvsP3tHo/TT59OsY6yCI/AAAAAAAAABs/kSpkDl6pgOc/s320/2010-11-06_017_%2528Large%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BsUEvsP3tHo/TT59du1gOJI/AAAAAAAAACc/b2Mk0RP1qPs/s1600/crochet-garland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" s5="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BsUEvsP3tHo/TT59du1gOJI/AAAAAAAAACc/b2Mk0RP1qPs/s320/crochet-garland.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BsUEvsP3tHo/TT59QLy3N6I/AAAAAAAAABw/2V9Qm1U2OAc/s1600/45891_140755602628724_100000828565998_178201_3661713_n_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" s5="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BsUEvsP3tHo/TT59QLy3N6I/AAAAAAAAABw/2V9Qm1U2OAc/s320/45891_140755602628724_100000828565998_178201_3661713_n_large.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
