Yarn Along

Despite having a busy week, I still managed to finish the lacy shawl that I started last week.  Well, almost finished it still needs the ends sewing in.  It was an easy crochet, using only chains and trebles, a simple pattern that you can watch the TV with.

Ta Dah....

 

The edging was worked into the rows at the end, I thought was a really pretty effect.

 

 

Definitely something that I would do again.  I intend to get going with another Autumn/Winter accessory and then pick out the easy/quick patterns out that I can do a lot of for gifts.  Yes I am thinking Christmas already I need to as I have so many people I like to make a gift for.

 

 

This week I have started to read The Snow Geese by William Fiennes.  I haven't really formed an opinion yet its too soon but I am finding it a little difficult to get into, time will tell.

 

 

I am once again joining in with Ginny over at Small Things.  What have you got on your needles/hook?  Pop over and join in the fun.

 

See you soon.

Yarn Along

I have been so busy of late, with hospital and doctors appointments for various members of the family and sorting out extra help for my parents that I have found it really relaxing to have a crochet project with me.  A simple project that I can dip in and out of as and when it is convenient.  I found a lovely lacy shawl that I fell in love with in issue 29 of Simply Crochet.  A pattern designed by Elisabeth Davis de Herraiz, which is a simple to follow pattern that will make a stunning accessory.

 

It crochets up very easily and I am thrilled with the progress made so far.

 

I have just started to read Heaven is for Real, which apparently has been made into a movie a friend gave it to me whilst on holiday in Florida some months ago but life events take over and I have only just got round to reading it.

 

 

I am joining in with Ginny over at Small Things why not pop over and see what everyone is knitting/crocheting and reading.

 

See you soon.
