On My Mind......Swaps

Here's my practice dishcloth for the dishcloth swap that I'm involved in on down_to_earth. I need to work on the joining corner as it's a bit wonky. That's the corner in the bottom right of the photo.

Lucky the swaps don't need to arrive before 1 June as DD12 has borrowed the crochet hook and misplaced it and I don't have another anywhere near that size. Shopping day next Thursday though and a few hours of industrious crochet crochet whilst watching Dr Who and Inspector Morse should do it :).

This is the buckeye block I made for the Acorn Gatherer's swap with Linda on Our Craft Forum. I like the colouring better than the practice one and Linda likes it too.

This went together surprisingly easy and I only had to unstitch once or twice :O.

I'm in a private block swap with Mary though and I had to put the block aside or I would have set fire to it! I'm having trouble matching one of the sides to the centre square of a nine patch and after unpicking a few times and trying different ways of assembling I still can't make a half square triangle set meet the corners properly. Think I'll have to do this one again or at least redo the strip.
