HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

How I saw in the new year!!

I love this woman's blog, I can't stop admiring how lovely her house is and also what wonderful things she manages to create whilst working at home looking after two kids. Having recently found myself at home I'm lucky if I get pants on most days!

But thanks to my trip to the sales and to this blog keeping me awake I saw in 2010 making these!!!

Got a new stash!!!!

John Lewis sale!!! Had a lovely time with my youngest son pulling a basket round whilst I popped the wool into it!

Got some lovely colours and just grabbed some skeins and thought "I'll make something for myself".

They had such a lovely array of crochet books - bloody expensive though. Perhaps I've been spoilt with ebay / amazon and discount books.

This one here looked ace - so many wonderful ideas and patterns, definitely gone on my wish list! And this here will be purchased shortly!

I'm off to crochet and hook in the new year. Happy New Year!

Arghhh - crappy hook snapped!!

Treated myself to some wonderful sparkly hooks whilst in Rackhams the other week. I'm crochetting away when it snaps! How frustrating that the wool I let my boys pick and the other projects I want to get going on all need a 4mm hook!!

This is one of the other little projects - a free pattern from hobby craft of all places!



Off to brave John Lewis' sale tomorrow to buy lots of lovely lovely wool!
