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 […]

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 […]

Small Crochet Purse Tutorial

Wool on Sundays – 109 (Time)

Wandering Camera

Today, I’m linking up with Soma over at Whims and Fancies for her second Wandering camera linky party. Weatherwise, we’ve had a very dull and gloomy month and, since I’ve been without my actual camera, I’ve been rather avoiding taking photos. One morning, however, when there was a break in the rain we took Poppy to […]
