Ooh...new crochet project

Hello lovely people,

I hope you had a great weekend.

 

A couple of weeks ago my gem of a husband bought me some more yarny stash from my local yarn shop ...I had decided I wanted to make a blanket and thought I wanted lots of colours.

Well, these yarny balls of goodness played on my mind a lot.  The more I thought about them the more confused I became on how to use them.  I had tentatively made some granny squares but wasn't convinced that was what I wanted.

So, some new and some from my stash... here are some of the colours I had teasing me...

 

 

 

Yesterday I decided upon Lucy's ripple pattern and started a brand new hooky project.

I've only hooked about five rows but I couldn't wait to show you

so here it is....

 

 

Surprise! I'm only using three colours.

 

I've had to pull it apart a couple of times and it's still not perfect but I am fine with it now and happy just to hook away at it.

It is a lovely pattern to work once you get use to it... rhythmic and therapeutic. Lovely :)

Thank you so much Lucy... I owe you a coffee!

 

I'll show you a progress report when there is something more substantial to see.

Nag me if I don't!

 

I've been fiddling around with my blog header.  What do you think?

I'm not too sure at the moment so I'll live with it a few days before I make a decision.

 

Several people have had problems with not being able to leave messages.  I have checked everything and cannot find anything wrong.  Have you had a similar problem with your blog? 

 

Ooh...it time to go as Bertie (wee Cairn like dog) wants some attention.
