long time no see

It seems such a long time since the last post. I have been so busy enjoying the sunshine I barely picked up hook


Then on Saturday I came home to my new hook its a monster hook . It's 15mm I bought it to start a shrug. As it big hook and super chunky wool I was confident it would grow quickly.

It didn't I had to take it apart four times. Today I resolved to have one more try . Got to round four and something was wrong. After talking to my friend she arrested the pAttern was wrong. Just this confirmation  was enough to push me forward and half of my shrug is done.

The picture is not the best  it really lovely purples ,lilac and blue running through it

This picture shows it in a bit more detail . It so soft I can't wait to wear it and I hope it all done for the festival.

all things bright and beautiful

 Last post I moaned about lack of colour well the crochet gods must have been listening went into hobby craft and they had a sale on !!!!!



 So picked up these lovely beauties

 Wasn't sure what to do with them  so searched ravelry  and finally decided on a new craft bag with the brighter wool and found a waist coat with the lilac although it needs a monster hook 15mm so need a visit to Amazon before that happens

Made a start on bag and expected it to  grow quickly  as it super chunky but it actually quite hard to work with mainly due to using a smaller than recommended  hook.because it needs to be stiff.  I really like the colour reminds me of sniffles or a married . Neither of which are helping diet lol even the wool.co.pant seems against me as it robins candy floss  wool.No escaping the food theme is there

  The wool is and fun  and cheerful  and today murky and dark so will crack.on with it  happy hooking people x
