Crushing

Most of my thoughts are on bubby and bubby related stuff. Making....buying.
First on my list - these blankets - Aren't they delicious?

Thinking that if I want to save some dollars I might need to learn to crochet.

And this little blanket. So soft and pretty

And this is absolutely darling. So cute! Yes I definitely need to gain some crochet skills!!

And I want to make these. Adorable! I could probably manage these!

Oh well - back to unpicking for me today.
Happy Thursday

It is cold today. Actually it has been for the past few days. Had to go out in the rain today and vote. Came home soaked. This is the view from my back door. The ground is so wet.

My kitties are keeping me warm. Violet only snuggles with me on the couch. She has been sweet company for me this week while I have been feeling unwell.

 And Dash is always on my lap when I'm at the computer.

Last week I painted my nails. And as soon as I took the polish off I chopped my nails off. Does anyone else do that? It's like I get to a certain length and then have to hack them off. I do the same thing with my hair too.

My nail polishes won't be getting a workout anytime soon. My nails are very very short!!

I am still plugging along with the granny squares. I'm up to 3 now.
Kinda sick of the colours and need more wool. I don't think my technique is there yet but I think I am improving slightly.

And today I finally placed an order for some fabric for the Patchwork Prism Quilt-A-Long

I decided on using Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush and Loulouthi. I got all of it from Hawthorne Threads.
Can't wait until it arrives and I can start cutting. In the meantime I still have a lot on my to do list.

Maybe if I aim to cut something out tonight - I might get time to sew it together tomorrow. Maybe.

Hope you are having a super productive weekend -

I think I finally got it

The elusive granny square. I always come so close but am really so far. I even went to a crochet class. It just never clicked for me. And believe me I wanted it to.
My mum came around yesterday and I started giving her lists of what I'd like her to make for me and mentioned that I'd like her to show me how to crochet a granny  square. She said have you got a hook?
I scrambled around to find my knitting bag and everything was still in there.
I know there is mistakes in it but I'm really proud to have gotten to the end of it. Now I just need to practice practice practice. Let's just hope I remember how to start it.
