In the spring, I was contacted by Sara at Simply Crochet magazine and asked if I would like to take part in the Designer Challenge. Now, I do love a challenge, and it being a crochet challenge to boot, there was no way I could refuse. The rules of the challenge are that each designer receives the same yarn and design spec. I was thrilled to learn that the yarn was Caron Simply Soft, which I fell in love with when making my Ice Flower granny squares (and the blanket using the squares, which I am making slow but steady progress with😊). The colours chosen for us to use (Fuchsia, Lavender Blue, Plum Wine, Gold, Pistachio) were just were so perfectly matched and vibrant. They truly fitted our spec of summer cushion.
