We had a long weekend this weekend, which was rainy, windy and cold, the perfect weather for curling up with a nice hot drink and crocheting. Not that one needs an excuse to crochet!
What's On Our Hooks:
This week I have started a new project. The Florentina Triangle Shawl By Annie Design Crochet, using a colour cake from stash. It is a two-row repeat that is quick to work up and makes a really pretty pattern. I am absolutely loving it, a very relaxing pattern that you don't have to think about. The colours are so pastel and pretty. Colour changing yarn is quite addictive as you want to keep crocheting to see the next colour change!
Miss C has made some progress on her second Gorse Sweater. It has been put aside since starting a new project, the Tiara Sweater.
After completing the neck on the Desert Irony Poncho I have moved on to the body. The colours are looking beautiful, I like the soft pastels. Upon reflection one of the colours we had chosen to use the Indigo, is too dark and detracts from the other colours. Looking at the basket of yarn now, it is very different from the others. We have decided to omit it and use another softer colour. This has put this project on hold for the moment as I will have to order more yarn.
Finished Objects:
Miss C has completed her first pair of knitted socks, using Mayflower 1 class sock yarn in "Tobacco" for toes, heels and cuffs and Wisdom Yarns Pix in the "Street Art" colourway. She has done an amazing job and has come a long way with her knitting. You can read about her knitting journey here.
Until next week,
Samantha & Miss C xx
