Ooo hello,
I just realised life has taken over and I haven't posted anything in a long time (not that I'm actually sure anyone even reads this!). I have been busy keeping the tiddlers happy and contented and have been crocheting away like a little busy bee, but as yet I don't have another finished item to show you.
I'm still plodding along with this blogging lark, even though I'm beginning to lose a little faith in it. So many other people seem to have such lovely photos and stories, and it makes my rambles seem, well, rather mundane!
Anyway, on a more positive note, here is a little photo bomb of bits I've been up to since I last blogged...
1. A potholder I made it a fit of restlessness for a friend. I used the pattern from Color 'n' Cream, but used up old thread.
2. Port - Yummy. Don't need to say anymore really!
3. Cut myself on a wine glass, but the consolation was I got to use one of my Hello Kitty plasters!
4. I bought this fab Stylecraft Special DK shade card from Masons. It means I don't have to try and guess the colours from my computer screen!
Back to the present. This week I have mainly been battling with an endless amount of washing and cleaning. I often fail, much to the despair of my husband! (I am not one of lifes naturally tidy people). I have also been working simultaneously on 2 new blankets, one for Mr Bean and one for a friends daughter using up the lilac tones from my Lucy pack that just aren't "me". I will try and take some photos, but currently time is at a premium and my tiddlers win out every time.

Hi, Yes do keep blogging! I really like your blog. I've been following Attic 24 for about 2 years, and recently started following Ali's Hooked which is where I saw the link to you. The Stylecraft colour chart is brilliant -thanks for that tip! I recently bought a batch from Country crafts (not the Lucy pack, my own selection, but was sightly disappointed with the difference in colour on the screen to the real thing).
ReplyDeleteI will follow you and will especially be interested in whether you come up with a better way to crochet the border. Currently I'm working on two granny square/stripe blankets.

Hi! Thank you for the lovely comment. I definitely reccomend the colour chart as some of the colours do look really different online.
DeleteI'm just about to finish a stripey blanket for my baby girl and will no doubt try and come up with a better way of doing the first round of edging.
Hope you still find me now I've changed my blog address.
