Hello and good afternoon! What a wonderful Wednesday it's turning out to be.
We all spent the morning at My Boy's first school sports day and our pep talks about taking part and having fun being the most important thing were completely unnecessary, as not only did he hold his own in the events, but his House (team - do you have 'houses' in other countries?) were the overall WINNERS!!!!!!
And on to my WIPs - after finishing
The Blanket in time for my
Sunday Year of Projects update, it's been fairly relaxed on the crafting front. I've been compiling some patterns for my YoP list and ordering the necessary yarn so there's not much to see this week.
Regular visitors may notice a little progress on the
No Fuss (No Frog) shawl although there was almost a
little ripping back last night until
Christine made me consider that one extra row of knit stitches in a black scarf probably isn't going to be
that noticeable. We shall see :)
(Oh - did I mention that we were having a little 'knit & natter' last night at mine? It was great -
Christine,
Danielle and
Lee came over and we shared some cake(s!) and several cups of tea. Lovely evening, even if I did mess up the simplest shawl in the world by chatting too much - I hope we can do it again soon.)
Did you spot that scrappy little crochet flower in the picture?
I bought the pattern for
Queenie's Lula Crochet Scarf last night. I haven't followed a crochet chart before but it looked so clear and easy to follow, with each step shown in a chart, picture and words, I really wanted to give it a try.
The only vaguely suitable yarn I had was the leftover ball from the
Spring Tulips shawl so I tried it out and it looks like the pattern will be easy to follow. I've ordered a Clover Soft Touch hook in the correct size (I find them much nicer to hold than the plain hook pictured) and I'm hoping both hook and yarn will be here in the next few days to get started for real - although I may make a few more of these little flowers and use them to decorate something for Little Miss in the meantime.
So that's it! Not much to show for a whole lot of words - sorry :-/ As always on a Wednesday I'm linking up with
Tami's Amis - you can find lots of other Works in Progress by following the links there.
Have a great afternoon (or whatever is left of the day, wherever you are)
