New To me Knitting mag [and some crochet as well]

Good morning all , During the week, i found this [new to me mag] in a
shop
Maschen Fur Ihr Zuhause published by Lea special
handarbeiten

I leafed through it and decided it would be fun to read through
It has a a knitted afgahn made of squares that change their direction.
and it is knitted in Entrelac , but the squares are BIG ,
Than you have some wall decorations as wellas cushions , lampshades ,
a crochet pair of Cactus plants in pots. a knitted bed cover , , a
room divider an entrelac hot water cover. i liked the new approach ,
the vivid colors used it is fun to look at even if i won`t make
anything from it.

Mirjam,

The afghan sounds from your description like the Lion Brand Tumbling
Blocks afghan. (I printed out that pattern ages ago but now have to
decide what colors to use since Lion's discontinued half the ones the
pattern calls for and I have absolutely no color sense.)

Spampot , if you think you have no color sense , which i doubt, since
we all have them only they are different from one person to the other
........here is an idea for you,
use all your left over , and number each color , now start making your
first row of sqares and change colors from 1- ? when you finish start
at the 2 , 4 6 8 nimber than the 1, 3, 5, etc...
next take ?-1 and the and the double numbers backwards etc....

I haven't heard of this magazine before but it sounds like it has a
lot of great project ideas. I recently got a magazine that has a
pattern for entrelac socks.
