I started an Irish crochet bedspread this morning, finishing three hexagons. The pattern is named Irish Melody, first published by the
Spool Thread Company in 1939. I`m using Knit-Cro-Sheen thread and a size 7 steel hook. 367 hexagons to go for the full size spread. I`m a huge fan of Irish crochet and I`ve had this pattern book published by Dover Publications, about 15 years. Time to get started don`t you think? I have the time now to relax and enjoy my crochet work.

The next photos show a different type of high desert beauty in the Kingman, Arizona area. A friend purchased this property and my husband took the pics on their recent trip there.

Isn`t that a beautiful sight?. I understand there are deer and javalina in the area too. I love the desert and it`s special places.
That`s about it for today. It`s warm and I`m going to start yardwork. Maybe walk first. Have a great weekend!

The Irish crochet hexagon bedspread is a very impressive project, and I am sure you will do a beautiful job on it. Wondering how long you think it will take to complete it...
ReplyDeleteThe green along the stream assures us that spring is coming, and the shrubs are just biding their time. :o)
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI figure maybe 3 months to complete the bedspread if I work at it often. We`ll see.
Our rain today smells like spring. Unbelievable!
