Where did July go?

Wow, just a few days left to July. Where did it go!!??

I've been busy with crochet and other things. The weather has been keeping me pretty quiet with the insane humidity and heat. My lungs hurt with every breath so I've been spending a lot of time thinking crochet, making crochet items and more recently I've taken up testing patterns for a crochet designer.

I've always enjoyed her patterns and I finally took the plunge earlier this month and volunteered to test crochet one of her newest motifs. It was a pleasure to do up this motif and with the colors I used, made it very retro. The pattern is available at SmoothFox's site and is called Lemony Lime Citrus Square.

This is my square, which inspired me to make a second one which will become a bag. The bag is almost done, need a few more rows for the over the shoulder strap and then the lining.

The second test was for a lovely blanket. I'll post mine as soon as SmoothFox has the pattern up on her site.  So until then, the blanket remains a mystery!
