A Bit of This and a Bit of That! The weekend of days 208 & 209

Do you want to take a sneaky peaky look at my book?


Now that you've seen the Movie - Why not buy the book?


Can you tell that I am having fun today on Vine....



Now it's time to add to your stash!


If you haven't seen this BARGAIN from Yarn and Craft Shop then you are missing out!
You get a choice of all these FAB colours +
it's only £4.49 per 100g ball

That's only £2.25 per 50g!

WOW
Go & get yourself a bargain now - stock up for those Christmas gifts before she sells out!


I have spent most of the day with my foot up & typing out Crochet Patterns for a couple of magazines.  It takes me longer to add photo's to the typed up pattern than it does to make up the piece itself!!  I like to get it all "right" and in line etc. so it does take time for a girl of limited technology talents like myself.

I want to work some more on my Jumper (my very own WIP) and now that my order from Deramores has arrived, I can do so on Sunday.


 However I decided to "frog" back to the neckline as I wasn't happy with the fit under the arms


So I undid 18 rows of work


 And I am htr - ing again to get it back to where it was when I picked it up this morning




Do you remember my guest post on www.slugsontherefrigerator.com?

Well WOW - it's had over 1,000 pins on Pintrest already!!

Just click on the above image to see for yourself!!

I have also been commissioned to make one of these bags for someone today - wow I am a busy bee!!

I have also been looking at my Stylecraft colour chart so that I can order some more Chunky for my September Workshops & Classes



Plus not only did I sell a pattern last night from my Ravelry Store 

I also sold an eLearning Course with a Starter Kit too, so that will be in 1st class post to the lady tomorrow!



And finally




Here's the Twitter blanket growing in front of your very eyes!!

Day 207 - Wow what a day of fantastic Crochet News!!

Before  I launch into the fantastic day of Crochet News I am going to share Day 206 from yesterday & today's square for Day 207


Aren't they lovely colours?  The are from Deramores  "Baby Double Knitting" and they are lovely to Crochet with



Fantastic Crochet News #1

I placed this ad in the Blackmore Vale Magazine today & I have already had 4 phone calls to reserve a place!!

Actually make that 5 as I have just had another call!


I then got my post today & along with my returned pieces of work that were sent off for their photo shoot the other week I also got these lovely goodies to wish me a speedy recovery.

How thoughtful is that!
Thanks  to Make & Craft & Craft Makes



Then I get mentioned by Tracey Todhunter - a crochet designer (and knit designer too as well as a great baker & volunteer for community projects)  & a fellow crochet teacher that I greatly admire, on her wonderful blog 


I am also very proud to announce that the Granny Square Bag pattern that I blogged about yesterday


has generated 800 pins on PINTEREST!! Wow.

One of the "pinners" was Lucy from Attic24 - yes that wonderful Crochet Blog that EVERYONE loves

& this is what she said when I thanked her for her pin!

Attic24 Ali, you are more than welcome, I truly LOVE your bag, it's just the sort of thing that makes my heart melt. Simple idea, but totally made gorgeous by the colours. Fab!xxxxx
