Wool on Sundays – 111 (409 stitches)

Welcome to another Wool on Sundays :) Next weekend I will be in York to bring back my youngest daughter, who after a long time and a LOT of work, has passed all her exams and finished being a medical student, though she says she probably can’t say she’s a Doctor until she graduates in […]

Hexie Mania

When I started the New to Me pastime of EPP Hexies earlier in the month, I can’t say that I wasn’t warned about how addictive Hexies can be… I used them, whilst still in progress, for another New to Me project – The Small Crochet Frame Purse Tutorial – but my actual piecing wasn’t great and […]

Wool on Sundays -110 (A Fancy Flower Purse)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays! This week I decided to try out a variation of the Small Crochet Purse Tute – a fancy flower for if I go to the opera or something…! And I was quite pleased with it until I put it down on a pretty vintage table cloth and saw the first roses […]

April and May

April was cold and full of grass. I’m pretty sure that it was the coldest month of the year so far. We had frost most nights and snow on two days. May couldn’t be more different – very hot and sunny. But although it’s officially Summer now, all around Spring is still Springing. I don’t remember it ever arriving […]
