Yarn Along

I am on top of everything for the Wedding and for Christmas with the exception of a few bits I am unable to show on the blog as I have daughters who follow.  So finally  I am free to catch up with some reading and crochet for myself.  I have started to crochet a throw which I intend to surround the main colour block with granny squares to match the cushions previously made.  I am not putting any pressure on myself I intend just to do a couple of rows here and there in between other projects.

The lighting is not good so it isn't showing a true colour, there are some beautiful flecks going through the main colour which I intend to highlight in the granny squares.

I am currently reading A Different Kind of Love by Sheelagh Kelly.  I have only just started to read it but already is has captured my interest it surely seems to be what it claims a  gripping saga of love, loss and hope in wartime.
 
I am once again joining in with Ginny over at Small Things for the yarn-along.gsheller.com/2014/10/yarn-along-200.
 
See you soon

    Well done with your Wedding and Christmas makes, with this done you now have time for yourself, and what better way than a book to read and a crochet project you can pick up and put down. The blue yarn is gorgeous and I can just make out the flecks.

    Yes, the cup and saucer are Old Country Roses.

    luv

    Your yarn looks so pretty and I like the idea of picking out the fleck colours and surrounding it with granny squares. Perfect day here for reading and crocheting too :-)

    It is the best part of crochet, pick up and put down, relax and enjoy. I miss a big project but need to get the little ones sorted for Christmas first.
    Glad your new book is gripping you straight away.

    That's one of the nice things about granny squares - you can do them here and there. That will make a nice throw.

    I envy people that can knit and crochet. I just don't have the patience. That book looks like it is right up my alley. I will have to check it out.
