April bamcal squares

I caught up!  I started this crochet-along at the end of March so I am pretty impressed with myself that I managed to get caught up only 3 weeks into May.  And that includes a weekend off to go to Disneyland. 

Here are my April squares.  I will post the May ones later; I haven't uploaded them to Picasa yet. 

April 12": Lace Petals Square by Chris Simon

I really like this one.  I find I like the squares that are a little bit lacy but with some heft to them.  Perfect for movie watching blankie - you know, not too warm, but still plenty snuggly.  I generally figure out the color scheme as I go round by round.  If do this pattern again I will probably do the center differently but I like this because I got all four colors in it. 

April Filler: Crown Jewels by Melinda Milller Designs

I LOVE the leaves.  I don't know how many times I had to start over on the row, for some reason I had a hard time keeping track of those leaves.  This was not a good one to work on while watching tv for me.  But I love the way it turned out.  It's unique. 

April 6": Antique Pearls Square by Priscilla Hewitt

I don't remember what was going on the night I did this square but I was in a really bright and sunny mood.  I think that comes through pretty clearly in my color choice.  I wasn't sure the colors would be great together without any the "lamb" (creamy off-white) to break it up.  I love the way it looks.  The bright pink and green together make me smile.  The photo isn't perfectly true to the color but it's a pretty good representation.

Ok...two crochet posts this morning.  I think I'd better get to work so I can pay for my yarn addiction.  I'll try to have some non-crochet posts this week, too.
