Well what a week this has been. Both big and medium boy have been sent home sick from school, I've dashed here and there, cleared up sick.......... and to boot.........they were generous enough to share it with me!
I've also done more than my fair share of crochet with a sprint to the finish on my flower scarf which has already been given and has winged its way to sunny S.Africa.
For all you super-clever folks out there who guessed Springbok last week, I take my hat off in awe, I've got to say my dreadful crochet definitely didn't make it an easy guess!
I re-attempted the springbok for my FIL, and I'm not sure telling you that this photo is a bad one is convincing enough!! I couldn't really say where it all went wrong, but it looked quite good and then I decided to make a badge so it would hide all the ends sewn in and tied off in such a small piece, and to be honest the more I worked the worse it got! I ended up quickly taking a picture and packaging it up before I did any more damage! I'm sure it will have high amusement value!!
I was very inspired recently by Sarah from Crafts from the Cwtch lovely knitted armwarmers and thought they would be a great gift for my two nieces, so I found this crochet pattern and gave them a go, with I think quite good results.
Both dreadful pictures......and how bad that I got biggest boy to model some girly gloves for me! I made them longer than the pattern suggests and will definitely make another pair for my second niece.
In other news I am doing the sums and looking at the list and things are starting to look very busy! I have another blanket on the starting blocks, two snakes, another pair of armwarmers, my mum's present.........
So same time next week then?
