Eight-by-Six

And here it is all finished last Friday, just in time for a heat wave! Seriously I do love this jumper and it fits so well with a white t shirt underneath, jeans and flip flops. Just waiting for the cold spell so that I can wear it out (rather than around the garden when its cooled down in the evenings!). I haven't written a pattern as such just some helpful notes from my pad. If people want to know how to construct one have added some notes below. As you know the Daisy Granny Square is the design of Sue Pinner from her book  Granny Squares published 2013. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I have an idea to make another one for the autumn in the same Debbie Bliss Rialto DK yarn but all edged in shade 90 honey, I have enough in my stash. Construction  Notes:  You need to make 18 granny squa

In April 2018 I started this pretty blanket, it never got finished. Last night driving home I decided to turn it into a granny jumper all joined in denim blue. It’s looking great, pictures to follow on my Instragram account this weekend. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I plan to crochet more tonight - my perfect chill out kind of Friday night.

A customer recently sent a photo of a granny square scarf, it was a picture I'd saved to my Pinterest crochet account a while back. I took the order and as there was no rush to complete it, I've been making squares in-between other projects. Anyway its been some time since I started so I'm attempting to finish it soon and have started to join the squares, over half way since this photo was taken a week ago. The finished scarf will have another round then three pom poms on each edge. It will be a very cosy scarf in merino yarn (Debbie Bliss Rialto DK my favourite) I'll post some more pictures next week, I'm adding the two more tonight before bed. The denim blue from the Heathers range is beautiful and sets of the other colours perfectly. I love it so much I plan to order more denim blue and make one for myself! glorious granny squares I tasted my rhubarb gin last night and its delicious and I'm now officially a gin drinker! We took Moss for a long walk ov

I started making this one in January and finished it last night (more pics to follow!) I'm really pleased with the way it turned out, a little vintage twist with the border. I've made this for a friends litttle girl and I'm delivering it tomorrow night after work. Just enough time for lots of photos tonight and then the wrapping and writing out the wash care instructions. The large colour block one was sold last week, my customer sent me some great shots of it in its new home ............. a new camper van! I love the fact its going to be well traveled.

I can now show you the gifted blanket. I have to say I am very happy with how it turned out. I have hundreds of photos of my progress over the last 7 weeks. I've enjoyed every single moment making it, even sewing in the ends! Here are some of the photos, not too many crochet porn! The sun is shining here in Kent and gardening planned for Sunday, lots of new plants to plant out thanks to my sister dropping off lots of plants she has grown for me. I'll post some pictures over the weekend. two blankets on the go quiet crochet time and a cuppa lots of circles to start of my granny squares round 3 tadah and its finished with a picot edge I taught myself crochet pom poms at lunchtime today

I've been pretty busy lately trying to fit everything in. Three blankets in progress, a lot of training for my Swimathon which took place on 29 March which this year is for Sport Relief (I raised £500!) and a new gardening competition for the village I live in. Wow I have been busy! Oh and my dads starts his next round of chemo and radiotherapy combined today for 5 weeks (that's the horrible bit of this post so we will quickly move on). Can you grow the tallest sunflower competition So the gardening competition for the village is in full swing and getting quite competitive amongst residents and roads! The children started off their sunflower seeds in pots at the last farmers market and that was great fun. I was lucky to get in touch with Thompson and Morgan and they kindly donated all the seeds plus extra which we are using as a community seed plant out day in the summer/ The children really enjoyed putting the seeds into the soil and I pre-prepared seed labels so it lo
