Crochet Catch-up

I got a bit excited about trying out the other new yarn I picked up a few days back … so have been enjoying seeing these graduated colours appear in this new shawl project.

I had to reluctantly leave my new love alone and get back to finish the original one. So I popped over to see Ruby and asked Margie to teach me how to do an edge.

Ruby kept the naughty Macca out of the way as he was on an attention-seeking high this afternoon!

Small treats from Ruby!

Ruby had a good night with her foot and is hopeful it might finally be turning the corner. She ruefully admits it has done a fine job for nearly 100 years and she ‘hasn’t treated them kindly’

Anyway – was great to hear some positives today!

After I sorted how to do my edge, I spent some time teaching Margie the basics of the shawl

A grand start!

If anyone out there is keen to give this one a go, here is the link to “Viral Shawl” A lady does a very clear video tutorial. And you only need to be at a basic level of crochet to tackle this one!

And – tonight I finished my first one! Pretty excited about it, although I am less excited about the quality of the photo, which doesn’t have the best light/colour. Will try another snap in daylight tomorrow!

Ta Daa!

On a side note – I also managed to get back outside and finish stacking that wood!! A round of applause and a hot bath please! 🙂

Roll on the weekend!

Cheers

    1. Thank-you Lynda! Although I can only admire my wood pile for a short time before the last load comes in, then I have to find room to put it somewhere! 🙂

  1. Loving the colors on the new one, I can see why you had to pry yourself away. It looks terribly complicated, but who knows.. maybe I’ll give it a go sometime too. Love the finished project. 🙂

      1. It really does, the stitches look very tight but not too tight. That is my biggest problem/fear/obsession. Probably why I will never get it. ;D But boy can I admire!
