Day 13.

Still taking photos. Today it was my beautiful Cleo's turn,

It's hard to believe she is 13. Seems like yesterday when I bought her home.

The photo a day theme had me stumped for a while today. I finally remembered this tree out the back of work. J is for jacaranda. I must try to remember to get a photo when it is in bloom. It is a stunning tree.

 

A little time for some crochet this evening. I still struggle a bit with the join as you go method but it is getting easier.

Day 12

Missed posting yesterday but with good reason. Ivy was here for the night. She is like a tornado at the moment so about the only time she is still is when she is having dinner. She does love her spaghetti.

 

I had class yesterday so managed to prep another block for the Red Riding Quilt. Eventually I will have to think of another name for it as mine is going to feature animals. All in good time.

 

My rose bush continues to delight.

 

Today I knew I was going to be tired so some time at lunch for some crochet.

 

Off in a minute to watch Survivor then it's bed for me.

Crochet

I have always been drawn to pure wool. Putting I a lot of effort to make something in acrylic has never appealed. I have however succumbed and I am going to make a blanket from Stylecraft. DK acrylic.

I have always loved Lucy's blankets so recently bought a Lucy pack from Deramores. The yarn arrived today and after a couple of false starts I have decided on a single coloured granny square blanket. Watch this space for progress,

Ripple Rug and stash

I have been dabbling in crochet for the last six months. I fell in love with all the ripple blankets I was seeing on blogs. After several failed attempts I think I know where I am heading. For some reason I need it to be bright -- not usually me - but it finally feels right.



Stash report for this week

Fabric used this week 0 yards

Fabric Used this year 24 1/4 yards

Fabric purchased this week 9 3/4 yards

Fabric purchased this year 52 1/2 yards

Net reduction + 28 1/4 yards

Imagine what it would be like if I wasn't trying!
