Willows

My box of willows. A lovely project to carry around. All I need is a ball of Rowan, a hook and scissors and I'm good to go. I need to decide how to finish the final round but in the meantime I'm making the middles. Goodness knows how many ill need ;)

Finished Hexy

Completed my hex a while ago

Minnie's here

What's been happening here.
Well last Monday we collected Minnie from Castleford and she's settling in quite nicely.
In terms of Crochet I've fallen in love again with Rowan Glace Cotton and beading following a trip to a Janie Crow workshop in Warrington.

I've started a willow blanket pattern with aforementioned Rowan and am about to embark on a cushion as  alittle something to do in the garden. The willow is quite portable so I fancy a quicker something for more instant gratification lol.

Am a wee bit sad that I didn't sign up to the Janie Crow Crochet Club this year as it's absolutely beautiful. Here it is- not my work btw.

New addition

There'll be a new addition to the family in 7 weeks. Mini the miniature schnauzer. She's 2 weeks old at the moment

27th May

My last post was the 9th March- nearly 3 months have passed, god knows where.
Flat out busy at work and tired all the time. My hex is nearly finished- I have 4 hexs to go and then a border.
The wool took eons to come. Have started another blankie which is on hold until I finish my hex.
And in other news. We saw the Imperial Ice Stars perform Sleeping Beauty on Ice- what a treat. Am so impressed I've booked to go see them in Cardiff in November.
