I wish I could take some credit for this gorgeous summer themed window at Fibre and Clay, but this beautiful crochet beach scene is all the work of Riana and Camilla. Every Thursday it brightens my day as I walk into the shop. Expect to see a few stripes appearing on the blog over the next few posts. My workspace is a frenzy of colours as I try to use up some of my stash before Woolfest and get this need to stripe out of my system.

This month my knitting and crochet has been all about  colour – and don’t you think with all this rain – and even hailstones yesterday we need a bit of cheery colour in our lives?
