Goodness me......still no sign of a finished blanket.....
....and what's this?
....something new?
Whoops!
Hot Honey and Lemon to warm me and a spot of something new.
Just quick and simple.
My excuse?
Well........ I just happened to be walking past my local yarn shop and they had this yarn staring at me in the window. It had been a colour I had been after for quite a while and it just happened to be half price. It would have been criminal to have walked straight on wouldn't it?! Perfect for the Autumnal months ahead.
I have just one round left to go on my blanket and then to sew in the ends. To be honest I think i'm just putting it off. I had a play about with colours yesterday too. Oh well, maybe it will be finished in time for Christmas! he he!
Rest and Relaxation is in order for the next half an hour anyway, then on with the mundane but the necessary.
On that note, I will just say, thank you for all your messages on my last post. It really struck a chord with you! And thank you also to all the 'shy' readers who felt so compelled to comment! The toilet one was a major one too that you all mentioned. I think it was so big it could have probably warranted a whole blog post to itself.....but i'll save that for another day!
Have a beautiful day all!

Ha ha, I wouldn't have been able to walk past the yarn shop without purchasing either. They're like sweet shops to me!

I pop in and read your blog but don't comment, not sure why :( I just have to comment on your last post, I have two over 20 yr olds still living at home and still have to tell them to put the dirty dishes in the dish washer and not on the draining board. To put the dirty clothes in the laundry etc. etc. They were so much better when they were small. I think most of us blog girls gloss over the uckity times and prefer to blog about the nicer things that happen so that when we read back on our blogs it makes you realise it's not all bad.

Looking at the blanket in your photo made me crave for honeycomb....yum.
ReplyDeleteA day where you buy yarn is a happy day indeed :)
Think of it as a rescue before it was consigned to the bottom of the dusty 'bargain bucket'! Looks like a gorgeous comforting blanket, enjoy your R and R!
ReplyDeleteLike i said on ig, i completely adore this picture. This pic is autumn to me. xxx
ReplyDeleteYou did the right thing - it would have been rude not to buy the wool!! Can't wait to see what you're whipping up hon.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab weekend - hopefully you get a few moments to crochet!

I'm completely in awe of the lovely blankets you manage to create - I dont seem to have the willpower to finish many! I laughed when I read through your last post, I have two girls & a boy and suffer from nearly every complaint you listed, with the added annoyance of a teen girl who nicks my makeup/nail varnish and wonders off in my shoes!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of this yarn, perfect for Autumn - look foward to seeing what you've created.
