waist not want not

Last year I won.project of the month at my favourite wool shop . I had not been crocheting long so was really excited. And even better got twenty pounds.

My winning entry was this

The wool shop is in Wales 

They have  other shop but the Wales one is like alladins  cave. If you have never been I urge you to try. Here is a link http://www.abakhan.co.uk/ they cater to every type of craft each separated into barns.  And rest of the family not neglected  there is cafe and a park. Plus it only short drive to sea side but sadly for us weather was not on outlets side so we just went to the shop. I bought  one of there discount packs . Just over 12 pounds for ten balls of sidar click chunky  I chose  black cherry it looks like this. 

It's lovely to crochet with  this is it so far 

Can you guess what it is yet? 

Some might not like the humble granny but it remains one of my favourites . It looking lovely so far and think it will look good when finished . If it's nice may be good few getting them.as presents lol .

postal treats

It is like summer to finally here  Not much hooking has been going on    but two thing arrived in post today that cheered me up one was this lovely set of hooks . I know some people like the fancy padded hooks but for me I love aluminium . These are ideal the were less than four pounds and come in handy case so hopefully no more hooks lost to sofa.

The next thing to arrive was even more exciting . I entered my Hippocrates in a competition drawn monthly and it won the prize was this voucher for twenty pounds to spend in store

Not sure if any of you have ever been a abakhan but it's a crafters dream with craft barns covering many different crafts . There even a cafe and at area for kids so you can make a real.day of it . Think I will save this for my birthday next month th and get myself a treat
