GAD 244, 245 & 246 - The Weekend!

This is Fridays

This is Saturdays

And this is Sunday's

And here they are all in a row!

I had a really busy weekend with over 9 hours of overtime at work so I am really pleased that I managed to get all three done this weekend

Granny A Day 147

This is Granny A Day 147

The colours are just pulled from the Yarn Stash basket 

at random

and I even had to use 2 shades of Brown

I love the result of this random colour pick

Now back to packing boxes and shredding paper

Oh I must tell you about my paper shredding!  I have, no, I will correct that to HAD bank statements from the year 1999 so thought that I would get rid of them all, apart from the last years worth and shred them.

So I have sat here for hours with my shredder, which keeps on stopping because it gets hot, shredding away

& I have filled 2 bin liners full of shredded paper!

However here's the genius bit

I have used the shreddings to pack out my boxes with, instead of scrunching up paper!

Ingenious I hear you say

Indeed it is!

I knew there was a point to saving all those bank statements!

Granny A Day 137 & Cardigan A Long

My very talented Left Handed Crochet Student, the one who has FORCED me into making a cardigan with her, came for a lesson today.

I was really pleased that she followed my lead from the other day, when I was having problems with the length of the sleeve that the pattern was recommending, as she herself realised that her sleeve would end up too short and not only that but too tight too!

So she knows that she has to increase the width of the sleeve and the length too.

Here she is joining the shoulder seams together

And this is CA trying her (sleeveless) cardigan on 

It's a great fit on her

And it's looking GREAT

She is so thrilled with it that she gave me a big hug today!

So in class we decided that we would work on the border / edging together

Here are some pictures of my finished edging.

I am really pleased with the way it's turned out.

I just have to make and attach one more sleeve to mine!

Granny A Day 137 is being joined in place as I go

Here's a close up half way through the join as you go method

And this is 137!

Ta Dah!
