I've been having another busy week though I'm still finding time to churn out crocheted African flowers, usually late at night when I should really have gone to bed long ago.
These really are addictive!
A last glimpse for this year of the cherry trees in flower in the park. The blossom has lately been falling, there's little left now but it was glorious while it lasted.
Back to the crochet! I'm joining as I go, definitely the way to do it.
It's the beginning of my first crochet blanket...
...and it just keeps on growing...
...and growing.
Much of yesterday and today has been spent mooching about Paisley while the car has been in Kwik Fit for new rear brakes. Paisley isn't a bad place to have to spend time, so long as it's not raining (which it wasn't). We toured the charity shops though without finding any treasures. I bought 8 x 100g balls of wool in the pound shop to feed my blanket. I also discovered a real wool shop and bought another 3 balls of blanket fodder (rather more pricey than the pound shop!).
And then we visited the abbey. A enjoyed it, N wasn't so keen as he was getting tired by now. Also on the list of free things to do was a visit to the library and to the museum but as the car was going to take so long we decided to get the bus home so A could go to nursery and N could get his nap. We returned at teatime to collect it, I'm so glad we have quite a decent bus service here.
And still the blanket grows. I should have more time to work on it next week, can't wait!

Your African flowers are so pretty! I love your choice of coulours. I miss crochet. By the time I finish my work and then decorating the house I anm too tired to focus on anything... I will look for the pattern and have a go over the half term holiday.

I'm totally in love with your crochet flowers, especially in the colours you have chosen, it reminds me of a bag of sherbet pips , one of my favourite childhood sweets. can't wait to see it grow. Bx
ReplyDeleteThe crochet flowers are lovely. I love the way the colours are bright and cheery without being lurid. I really need to practice more so I can begin to think about attempting something like that....tho' I'm guessing its very addictive. Juliex

ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and beautiful photos. I'm sure I recognise Ben Lomond in some of your earlier pics so I'm guessing you are a Renfrewshire lass, as I was originally?
