Yarn Along

I gave up with the scarf using the ribbon yarn I really didn't like the feeling of it against my skin it was too harsh, so it will become bags for my 2 granddaughters.  In the meantime I have finally  used one of my vintage patterns to crochet a doily.  The colours I used are quite bright but I wanted it to have a bit of a modern twist so that it could be used when I do afternoon tea and not look old fashioned.

There are a few mistakes, that I didn't notice until I pinned it to be blocked.  Overall I was a little disappointed with the end result, its not as striking as I thought it was going to be.  I wanted a more vibrant effect.  Maybe I should do another one, this could be become quite addictive.  The one thing that seems to be going by the wayside at the moment is the reading, I tend to crochet to relax and can't manage to read and crochet I might give these audio books a try.  I am reading Voyage on the Great Titanic The Diary of Margaret Anne Brady, 1912 written by Ellen Emerson White.  It is slow going so I haven't formed an opinion yet

I have once again joinedGinny over at Small Things for the yarn-along.

See you soon.
