I've started a new crochet project... using colour changing yarn... to create a tartan effect scarf... I'm not sure whether I've got the number of stitches correct yet... but I quite like the effect it's making... so I think I'll probably keep going...馃寛馃Ф

Photo of the crochet pattern, also taken from my friends book.

A few rows of rainbow coloured crochet, and a ball of Red Heart Super Saver Mexicana.

I can't believe that I put off starting this project for a year... because I was disappointed in how the ball of yarn looked... as I couldn't see a regular colour repeat... but I really should have trusted my choice... the colour changes too frequently for the ball to have regular stripes...

Oh my goodness... the diamond pattern is actually starting to appear... but accidentally adding an extra stitch... or forgetting a chain... messes up the pattern... my crochet would be much bigger if I hadn't frogged and redone 10 rows today...馃寛馃Ф

About 14 rows o crochet using a rainbow colour changing yarn. The rows are just the right length for the colours to move along and create diagonal lines of each colour, in two directions.

I am in awe of the magical effect of this crochet... the tartan pattern is really starting to emerge now...馃寛馃Ф

Rainbow coloured crochet with a tartan effect. There are now 2 full repeats of the pattern, making it much easier to see the diamonds.

I'm trying to complete my tartan #crochet cushion... I had forgotten how difficult it is... to crochet across the final side of a cushion with stuffing...馃寛馃Ф

Rainbow coloured crochet cushion. The final edge is approximately 录 joined, and the remaining edge is gaping open to expose the stuffing inside.
