Thanks everybody, wasn't sure if I'd like it or not working on it all the time, but I'm pretty happy and it's nearly winter here and it's been warm with it just sitting on my lap working on it. I have more photos to come of some of my shawls, just got to get them off the phone.
Gorgeous Relle. You definitely have more patience than I have, for making afghans.

Carolyn, just had a look at the ravelry one - fantastic.
Free Patterns one, I think she is in my favs, haven't been in there for a while because I'll see something I'll want to do. Her Mandala is on my to do list, done in purple.
Lovely work, Relle! I like how the colors in each block are distinctively different, yet they all blend together as a whole. Just lovely.
DeeAnna, I wasn't sure about the colours, but they do seem to blend in.
That took some time!! and is GORGEOUS!!
I literally only can do granny squares. LOL I used to be able to do other patterns/stitches, but haven't kept it up, so can only do that. So I make the granny square afghans with the black borders. I'm sure you know which pattern I'm talking about.
If you can do granny squares, it's easy enough to do this. the small squares are granny with a cross in them.
That's beautiful... I'm never gonna try it. Not. Ever. My hands hurt thinking about this and I still can't do granny squares yet.
Try the granny squares, they are easy. I taught myself to crochet when in primary school, but didn't know what the stitches were, just hooked the wool and started. I'm definitely a hooker now
