Yarn Along

I had my Simply Crochet magazine delivered this week, a subscription gift from my daughter.  We call it the gift that keeps on giving, as you get a gift every month.  I sat down with a cup of tea and immersed myself in the beautiful images.  I fell in love the moment I saw it, the dreamy lilac baby blanket.  I didn't have the right wool so I had to improvise and adjust the pattern to meet my needs, so far so good.

 

 

 

 

A joy to hook.  What are you creating?  Once again joining the yarn along with Ginny at small things.

Yarn Along

I have had quite a busy week, with family visiting at the weekend and crafting in preparation for the next craft fair.  I actually didn't think I had done a lot of crochet, until I checked back on last weeks photo.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful suggestions of places to visit and stay when I go to Florida.  We have had a slight hiccup with my parents passports, they don' have 6 months left on them.  Consequently they have been sent off for renewal and we are just waiting it out, waiting for them to come back.  Once they are back we can then go forward and book the holiday.

 

I have actually done more crochet than I had thought...

 

A few more rows, some form of border and then it will be finished.  All ready for the new arrival. 

 

I have been browsing Cath Kidston craft books for some inspiration, looking for some ideas for little gifts for my daughters when they visit.

 

I have also gone back to reading Kerosene by Chris Wooding, a book I started a few weeks ago but was so busy didn't really get into it.  It is a raw, emotional read and deserves more time than I have at the moment.

 

I am once again joining in with

 

 Ginny over at Small Things.  What are you creating?  Looking forward to seeing what is on your needles/hooks...

 

See you soon.
