Bazaar Request

Hi everyone,

now I know you are going to think that I have lost the plot a bit here, and I wouldn't normally do this, but...

does anyone out there have any PLAIN coloured egg cups, that they no longer use?

Now the reason why I ask is, I try and go to local events tabletops, fayres etc, and through this I do some fundraising for Macmillan Nurses.

I either have part of the stall just for charity or if anyone asks me to sell their crafts I ask for a percentage of their sales to go to charity.

Now I have seen a cute quick idea using eggcups as pin cushions, BUT can I heck as like get any plain eggcups, trust me I have tried.

So if at the back of the cupboard you any plain ones that are in decent condition, that you no longer use, and you wouldn't mind sending them to me, I would be incredability grateful.

Send me an e-mail for home address.

Thanks for reading this

Queen Annes Lace

This picture shows how it should look like, I used a 3mm hook with 6strand DMC

Just for KC and any others who fancy giving this a go.

Yet the pictures in some places are a little blurry but I hope the written instructions will get you past that.

Use a hook suitable to yarn thickness and off we go - oh forgot to say instructions in American Double Crochet


Chain 6 and join to make a circle



Chain 3, then 13 DC into the space in the middle of the circle






DO NOT join your work it needs to be kept open.

Chain 1 then turn your work





Work a SC into next 2 DC. *Chain 4 then 2SC in next 2DC* - repeat until there are 6 loops sitting on top.










Chain 6



TURN work and place hook into tthe nearest 4ch loop





and slip stitch



Chain 3



TURN work



Work 13 DC's again like the first circle





Place hook into the nearest 4ch loop on the first motif and join with a slip stitch





Chain 1 and turn work





Work a SC into next 2 DC. *Chain 4 then 2SC in next 2DC* - repeat until there are 6 loops sitting on top.





Place hook into nearest 4chain in opposite motif





Chain 6



TURN work



Place hook into nearest 4 chain motif



and off you go again from

chain 3 dcx13



You continue to the length that you desire and you can leave it like that.

If you would like to border like the set that I did earlier, once you have reached the length you do 3 posts of DC in each 4ch on the outside of your work, then Chain 4 2dc in the next 2 sts.

This will fill the scarf out and make it chunkier.

As per usual please post if you don't understand this.

Two and half hours blogging count for 20 Minuters.

This post doesn't look 20 minutes long, but I have been blog hopping all the 20Minuters, saying hi and postingmy thoughts to their work.

And adding as a follower, where-ever possible.

I doubt it does, cos you just know I have some things to show.

I now have to run around like a headless chicken and get my chores done before OH arrives home, lol.

Oh managed to get picture of 20 Minuters up and running too, including picture link
