Days 238 & 239 Lots of Post & organisation!

Well today was a great day for getting post!

First of all a BIG Crochet THANK YOU TO Renee Kies who sent me this lovely package of DK yarn, an owl clip & 2 wonderful flavour teabags + a lovely card all the way from the Netherlands

If you'd like to follow her on Twitter she's @Blond_Renee

Isn't that lovely of her to reply to my appeal for more DK for my Twitter Blanket & the even nicer thing is that this yarn would not be available easily if at all in the UK so these 4 colours will be extra special.

Today I bought these 2 massive 200g balls of yarn by James C Brett.  The are in the "Marble" range & I love the Autumnal colours of them both.

I am going to make lots of Chunky Beanie Hats with thick ribbing edging with them for the Christmas Fayre I have signed up for on the 5th Dec in The Exchange in Sturminster Newton.

Now back to Renee & her lovely Netherland Yarns

Here they both are - the top one is a flecked Purple, whilst the bottom one is a glitter Fuchsia & I love them both.

The other thing that I got in the post today was.....

I was in desperate need of another one to display my "makes" on in Crochet Class & when I go to venues to teach or to sell.

If you have one knocking around doing nothing then please send it to me as I will give it a very good home!!

And on top of all this I spent the morning preparing for the Class Workshops that start next week!

There was a lot of printing involved, stapling sheets together & getting things organised!

Days 124, 125 & 126 May Day Bank Holiday Weekend

I have enjoyed the Bank Holiday Weekend a lot!

I have added a few more rows to the Bitsa Blanket & continue to do so - when will I stop??

I also made a floral key ring especially for ....

My mobility scooter, which I have been practising on and off (and so has my husband LOL - just for the fun of it)

I made the most of the sunshine & crocheted in the sun

More flowers for decorating my scooter with!!

And here re the 3 squares for the weekend...

And finally....

The Raffle has gone really well!!!  I think there are still 2 discount promotion codes left so if you want to have a try then go to https://www.facebook.com/LearntoCrochetElearning 

Day 1-2-3 -Easy as Doh-Rae-Me! Sunshine Crochet & NEWS!!

I took today's Crochet Lesson outside to the sunshine as it seemed a shame to sit indoors when it was so lovely out there.

As you can see Scrumpy tried to join in too!!

KPK & I went back to crocheting socks 

We had both completely made one sock but had to add the heel

And that's exactly what we did!

This picture captures our right feet, up on the garden table with our abandoned shoes safely away from the attack of the "Dark Destroyer" aka Scrumpy Puppy

We chose Crab Stitch to finish off the top edge, which we both agreed, looked perfect on these chunky socks

What do you think?

And now for more Flower Power!

+beth butcher sent me these lovely crochet & knitted flowers with button trim today

They are so lovely, as are these from my student KPK

My mobility scooter is going to look so fantastically floral!

I won't say "And Finally" just yet  as I have to show you Square 123 which is beautifully sunny and a tribute to the sun that we had today

And now for the NEWS!

The news is that I have decided to write a book, a Crochet one (of course!!) which will be a small compilation of some of my patterns.

I won't tell you any more at this stage, but as soon as it's ready, which won't be long now, hopefully, I will let you know!

Ta-Dah

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Bank Holiday weekend

Crochet love to you all
