I keep finding more mosaic crochet projects to create. This is another one from Tinna Thorudottir Thorvaldar ( Tinnacrochet.com ). I bought the kit for the Viking Granny two-color version from her with the Icelandic wool, Lopi Lettlopi. Shipping from Iceland was not cheap but the kit includes a written version of the pattern with charts.
There are videos available on YouTube for assistance. https://www.youtube.com/c/TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar
I have a part time assistant like many others . . . Bart makes a good model/prop for photos.
I started very ambitiously . . . planned to make 2 squares a week. That went well for 1 week.
The LOLA square.
I decided to make the tiny versions in the opposite order of the colors for a pillow.
The SAGA square.
Then I went off on a tangent as I decided to buy some other colors to make tiny squares . . . I got frustrated with the magic circle. Imagine that. I think I might need to buy more of that white/cream. Thankfully I found a source in California that is importing this wool.
I got back to it and slowly worked up the last 3 of the designs.
Up to 4 squares here with 2 of the first one made (SAGA).
The Maria Square
The Dora (or is that Pora?) Square
The Tinna Square
I now have 6 squares completed with 6 more to go for the small, 3 x 4 squares But maybe I can slowly do enough squares for a medium, 4 x 5 squares, and make pillows from the tiny squares in multiple colors.
