I somehow managed to put down the 8mm crochet hook and pick up a 5.5mm hook, and of course the shawl became much more dense and didn't have a nice drape: I had to unravel it all and I've started again: I think I'm about back where I got to last time!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.

2022 Week 9
I made a few of Aneela Hooey's pouches
I made two I-Spy Quilts for the lovely Tara: she contributed some fab fabrics that were very personal for her uncles, Maeve and Finn's grandads
At Richmond and Kew Quilters are are making jackets from patchworked fabric. I mentioned that I fancied using denim and Cherill brought me these that she had patched but never done anything with - WOW!!!!

As ever you have been phenomenally productive! Love all your projects, and look forward to seeing what you make with Cheryl's gift. I wondered about making an apron after I saw yours, then realised that really I needed a full length house coat (or at least something with full arms) to prevent me from getting covered in threads - turns out that the sleeves of my fleece are often coated with them! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely projects, as always!
ReplyDeleteAaargh - so annoying to swap the crochet hook around!
Especially love the bag for Jackie! 😁
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the patchwork pieces.
Hugs,
