So, what was I saying about WIPs? Reader, I am weak and couldn't resist any more: I cast on a new project.
This is not just any project; this is a stash battering project that should take care of a good amount of yarn. It's another crochet blanket - big enough for snuggling under on the sofa, or covering our bed. I say this confidently, although I am not following any pattern, and don't really know how much yarn I've got or how much I might need to make a blanket of the size I imagine.
It must be a crochet thing, i'm not usually so blase about knitting projects and yarn amounts. But my fingers were awfully itchy, and I just had to start. Today.
I cast on (do you cast on in crochet?) this morning, managing a few stitches here and there whilst out and about with the children.
Most of today's crochet action happened once the small people were asleep. It is gobbling yarn already, and the end of the first (small) ball is nigh.
I won't bore you with any pictures of this narrow ribbon of dark brown woollyness. Instead I offer this - a picture of little bean enjoying some afternoon sunshine in the garden. (Yes, we do have sun in Scotland, despite rumours to the contrary!)
I'm checking in for bean pictures regularly and couldn't help a crochet natter! What stitches are you using, how long was your chain? how many blisters have you got? hehehe I'm working on a pirate throw just now 2 sets of squares dc and fptr on one and treble ripples with accompanying edge straightening on the others :). Hope you are enjoying your time with the newest bean :) need cuddles soon Cx
