Wool on Sundays – 56 (Colour and Calm)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays – 56. This week I have been arranging hexagons… …and re-arranging hexagons… And frogging! I know I said wouldn’t frog but I decided to try changing the outer row of trebles for double crochets, which I think gives a better effect because it makes the edges pop a […]

Wool on Sundays – 55 (War, Peace and Hexies)

Wool on Sundays – 52 (First socks of the year!)

Welcome to the first Wool on Sundays of 2015! Do you think you can you have too much yarn? I have actually long been thinking that Rainbow Hare has too much yarn – or at least too many yarn projects compared with other things and a main reason for that is that yarn projects are […]

OLD WOOL + A WINTER STORY (A Granny Square Post)

OLD WOOL Some people say Granny Square is as old as the hills. Some say she has certainly been around since the first person took up the first ball of yarn and the first bent hook and began working a patchwork blanket in brightly coloured wool – or perhaps she was that person? The only […]
