Playing with colour: Making these fab Loopy Roses from Australian Crochet designer Sarah London …
Crocheting little motifs in vibrant shades of Debbie Bliss Cotton DK and Rowan Handknit Cotton to make a blanket that will cheer up me up on winter mornings …
I’ve also been reading …
Pinterest – a great way to share ideas and inspiration.
This article about Ravelry – I knew it was big – but not that big!
I’ve been enjoying … my Ishbel, knitted in beautiful Shilasdair Luxury 4 ply. Of course it’s too hot to wear right now, but that hasn’t stopped me taking it everywhere!

I’ve also enjoyed the new Harry Potter film (end of an era), all the frivolity of Fibre + Clay at RHS Tatton, a lovely lunch with some knit group pals and planning a little trip away with the teen. I’ll see you all when I get back when voting will be over. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me and sent such lovely messages. They are all much appreciated.
Have a good week, I know I will.
