Blankets

I'm a real blog tart, I get enticed to one site (usually by a photograph...) and then jump onto another link within that site.in case it has something even more interesting.  Anyway that's how I found Mrs Twins and her wonderful work with SIBOL.  Take a peek and see some of the blankets she has been making up with the help of blogs from all around the world.   SIBOL  I have made a few squares and the are ready for posting and adding to her second Eaton blanket.

While in the mood to make squares I did a few more.  This time for a healing blanket.  The organiser and assembler can be found at Channelle's Crochet Creations Lets just hope they have room for a few more!

My First Give-Away

I missed my1st blog anniversary which was September. So all-though it's a little delayed I though better late than never. I enjoy crochet but nothing too intricate (just basic stitches really). However my give away is an e book which takes crochet to another level.  So whether you have an occasion to wear the grand coat below or just want to do some intricate flowers..... this is the book for you.(Sorry image didn't come out too well but the books quality is much better).

The book is in PDF format and has 115 pages.  I am away on holiday for a few weeks but will select 4 followers on my return early November.  To qualify just follow my blog and if possible direct your followers to my giveaway.

Balmy Booting Day

It was such a nice day we decided to have a ramble around our local car boot. It is very much a social occasion for both sellers and buyers alike. We always manage to stop and catch up with friends and neighbours.
Today I purchased some books for the grandkids at 25p each quite a snip. My eagle eyed daughter managed to buy several sewing and knitting magazines so ample reading for us as well. My favourite buy this week though was this box/canister. It is made primarily of ply The seller advised it is quite old (I think around early 70's which makes me feel old now) and confirmed she bought it in France. I really like it and thought it would be ideal to store my crochet hooks so it now has pride of place on the top of my study shelves.

Study or Store Room !!

Last weekend was spent chasing around for some new shelves to match existing ones in the study. Fortunately a 60 mile round trip and 5 minutes before the store closed we located some.. So for a few days, at least I have a few empty shelves... rarely known in a house of hoarders!! This also gave me the opportunity to re-arrange my wool stash which is now displayed and waiting to be transformed.
