Things To Make Me Smile (and a few things that annoy me)
Ok I’ve about 18rows and a border left on my sisters white blanket and 25/27 days left to finish it. Yes it’s doable but will I? I’ve been putting this off for I don’t know how long – eek and time is running out.
With that in mind I’m going to watch the end of University Challenge, Chinese Food Made Easy & New Tricks down in the bedroom where it is a cat and clutter free zone and hopefully there I will get some of those rows completed. I shall update my progress at the end of this session.
This is the blanket that I’ve almost finished – the ball finished before the pattern did with two more rows so roll on tomorrow for a little shopping spree:)
When we came back from shopping I got the notion that I wanted to make buns/fairycakes. I don’t know why and I don’t think I’ve made them since school so that makes it at least – 15years. So a quick search of the kitchen gave up most of the ingredients so a little cobble together was done and here are the results:
I have to say that I’m really chuffed with these and there could be more where these came from but without the silver balls.
So Three Cheers for ME!!
The other day I caught out in the rain getting some new wool. Actually I’ll back track to the previous day when I bought a book 100 Crochet Projects. I spotted a blanket that looked lovely so I decided I had to get wool and hook and start straight away – roll on to next day lunch time – weather fine, went to Hickeys didn’t see anything that took my fancy so off to Woolen Mills – was the rain I felt?? Ah sure I’ll only be a few minutes. I spent the rest of the afternoon going around in my bare feet as my shoes and socks were soaked. However I’m almost finished the blanket. I wasn’t sure about the pattern at one point so decided that what I was doing was good enough and continued on trying to decide should I give it to my sister or should I keep it. So she is getting it – now that I’ve figured out where I was going wrong I’m going to buy more wool on Monday and make a bigger version to put on the bed.
I will post a photo of it tomorrow (along with photos of the fairycakes I made)
I seem to be procrastinating all over the place!
I am making a blanket for what I thought was to be my new niece/nephew (they are 90% sure it’s niece but we’ll wait for the day itself to confirm) when my sister spotted it she has decided that she is going to be the owner of this blanket and baby will have to ask nicely if it wants to use it.
I am in the final run of the pattern with a reduced repeat to follow and it looks like I’ll have to get more wool. This has seen me put off doing any more until I find the band for the ball so I can get more (procrastinator & disorganised). When I was in work the other day I found that I’d left the pattern behind me so that was when I changed the story in my head – the reason I’m not doing the blanket is that I don’t have the pattern and not ’cause I need to get more wool. Ok I’ve the pattern on the computer but the paper one has all my notes – like which line I’m on etc.
Isn’t it mental the stories you will tell yourself just to avoid having to do things? I exactly the same when I was in school.
No photo this time – when I have it finished I’ll put a picture on my craft page which is decidedly empty at the moment.
