I have been busy learning how to crochet, and as such accidentally started a Granny Square blanket I think... They are better than I thought they would be given some early failed attempts to learn this new craft and they are a great way to use left over grams of wool.
I have also been shopping. It was not my intension but Courtney teased me with this photo on her blog so I had no choice... What would you do with 100g of 4ply?
I have also started a NEW BLOG to celebrate the fact that our block has exchanged and we are now waiting on settlement with barely concealed excitement. It is lovely to sit here and picture all this rain falling on acres that are soon to be ours!
The new (and exciting!) blog will be to record our Permaculture/Simple Living antics and I will keep this one for the Craft and Happy Kids sort of stuff. There won't be too much action on the new blog until we move but it seemed like a great rainy day activity to set it up :) I have added a button to my side bar so feel free to pop in and check on progress whenever and often!
For more creative spaces grab a cuppa and head over to visit Kirsty
Oh how exciting about your block - my Boy would be super jealous!
ReplyDeleteNo help with the 4ply, though it sure is purty! Look at you crocheting it up!
I just knew you'd pick up crochet and run with it.
ReplyDeletelove the green colorway!
ReplyDeleteHuge congrats on the block. That is super exciting, almost as exciting as learning to crochet I think. Heading off to the new blog now.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'll keep an eye on your new blog with interest. How exciting. Crochet is WAY out of my league, but I'm in adoration of the patchwork goodness in your blog header.
ReplyDeleteYay for the granny!! And for the absolutely gorgeous yarn, what about some socks? I'm slightly addicted at the moment, just sharing it around ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt must feel so wonderful. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI am really wanting to learn to crochet, did you use a book? a blog?
Congrats on the new blog and more importantly the new block.
ReplyDeleteWell done on being suitably peer pressured into crochet. Enjoy.
love the granny squares, looking great. also love the new blog and i look forward to following your new adventure!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new block and that 4ply looks absolutely divine and if it were in my hands would be destined for a shawl...
ReplyDeleteHugs - Jodie :)
I can never get the hang of crochet, I wish I could since I love all these blankets popping up on the web. I will be watching your new blog as well, I am very jealous of all your lovely new space ;)
