Diamonds are forever...

Sometimes I am excited about a new design. Sometimes I am very excited about a new design. This time, however, I am quite literally beside myself! Just look at those diamonds in diamonds, with negative space diamonds all over! Just so many DIAMONDS! You see, totally over the top excitement.

This particular 'mosaic crochet' technique is pretty straightforward, once you have mastered the basics. There are very few ends to sew in as well, I know, total bonus right?!! as you use each yarn for 2 rows then switch colours. I could go on at length about all this, I have turned into a bit of a mosaic bore, but best to get the pattern written.

And there really is some feverish pattern writing-coffee swigging going on every evening at the moment, going to get this pattern out there just as soon as I can. Will work harder and drink more caffeine!

And of course, I cannot NOT mention the gorgeous hunk of a cat, Hank Deluxe, who likes to pose shamelessly when the camera comes out. What a beautiful furry lump he is.

More soon!
