Motif Challenge 2012

Barbara, from Made in K-Town, is organizing a Challenge for 2012. We will we making motif from the book "Beyond the Square: Crochet Motifs" by Edie Eckman.

I will be showing my progress in this page, so check it out once in a while.  Take note that I will be posting the latest motifs first, so the new ones will be the first you see.  I will not be doing them in order, but will write the number of the motif in the photo. (And the number in parenthesis is of my progress).

My Collection: CIRCLES

This is my collection of CIRCLE motifs.  I decided not make them all (…but who knows if I come back later to tackle some more). 

I had planned to make a scarf with these motifs, but regretfully it did not work, mainly because they have very different sizes.  I tried to join them in free-form, and it worked to some extent…except that it did not wear well as a scarf.  I will have to think of something else…or just enjoy looking at them, for they are cute.

ALSO... Check Barbara's SHARED GALLERY, where other participants are linking their versions of the motifs.  It is so cool to see the different colors, yarns and hooks that can be used with the same patterns. 

(ESP)  También hay una GALERÍA en español, gracias a Gloria Beatriz.  Pueden encontrarlo en su blog: Mossita Crochet.  Allí pueden apreciar los motifs de todas las participantes.
