Because for this 'absolutely fabulous' crochet blanket.

I totally love the pattern and the colors
and those fancy crochet tassels at the points.

I DO want to make this!!
Okay then,  maybe not right away... there are some things to finish first.

What the heck.. see if i can translate this French pattern!!
Have a lovely evening.
Groeten, Corry

Edit: Nana GoGo directed me to the site of  Cécile Balladino,
she is the designer/ maker of this beautiful crocheted work of art.

Leuk he, de MC Idees. Wist je dat je een jaarlidmaatschap af kunt sluiten voor 33 Euro? Dan wordt ie gewoon thuis bezorgd!
Geniet ervan!

Groetjes, Suzanne

Wow! What an original way to interpret granny squares. They remind me of God's eyes, Ojos de Dios, I made as a schoolchild in America. This is just gorgeous, and I can hardly wait to see yours when you make one.

What a beautiful blanket. I would love to make one from fabrics, I see a quilt pattern in this crocheted blocks!

Lexilooo said...

My French is terrible, but I still often buy this magazine because of all of the lovely photos in it!

Frances said...

Helen, your post and the comments (including one from Cecile herself) is such a fine example of the wonderful generosity of creative spirits.

The crocheted blanket is truly fabulous!

Absolutely gorgeous blanket - I've been drooling over it since I saw Cecile's photos on Pinterest. Makes me want to buy Marie Clare Idees too - and if I can translate a Russian crochet pattern, then why not a French one?

Esther said...

Ik heb het blad ook naast een kopje koffie liggen, hmmm leuke dingen staan er dit keer weer in. Ik vind het kleed ook prachtig. Groetjes Esther

Petra said...

Al zes jaar koop ik ieder nummer en kwijl van de mooie foto's, maar ik heb er geloof ik nog nooit iets uit gemaakt. Ik kan niet haken, dus deze jan ik laten schieten. (wel mooi!!!)

Hi! My name is erica. Would you be my friend? said...

Oh wow, that's great! I'll have to watch out for that. The bookstore only carries a limited number of them.

Jenny at Red House said...

Hi you crafty twosome! love this mag yet cannot find it in the Uk and only have a few treasured copies from the sadly departed Borders! you lucky two! jennyx

Susana said...

Your bags are very beautiful. Please if you translate pattern of kaleidoscope make a graphic. Kisses!!

Jessy said...

Hoi Corry,
Je hebt helemaal gelijk. Het is veel mooi om te laten liggen. En je zou niet de eerste creative-ling zijn die niet meerdere projecten heeft liggen. Veel succes met het vertalen van het patroon!

lheurebleue said...

heerlijk, he! ik tel steeds de dagen af tot de MCI in de winkel ligt.
dank voor de kleurige link!

Eclectic Gipsyland said...

The pattern is in French with graphics and the will be an English version in a few days...
