I always look forward to your ta-dahs and cannot wait for your next crochet top. I gave mine away because it came up rather too big. At least I finshed it after I realised though!

It would mean you wouldn't need to do any conversions. Using cup measurements is the volume of the ingredient that is required rather than the weight. So a cup of butter doesn't weigh the same as a cup for flour, for example. I love all your crochet and yarn and your kitchen is really lovely.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234219836891799676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-37646749483770649662015-03-02T16:37:16.011+00:002015-03-02T16:37:16.011+00:00OO Thanks so much!

Hammy, I'm trying to think of any links.<br /><br />http://homespunliving.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/more-on-crocheted-footstool-cover.html might be a good one for you.<br /><br />http://atty-s.blogspot.nl/2014/08/crochet-stool-cover-photo-tutorial_4.html or that one<br /><br />https://www.pinterest.com/pin/286963807478007877/ or just some ideas here. Basic granny squares on the top then basic crochet around the sides. It might just be a case of trial and error in stitches to get the perfect fit. I hope some of these are useful to you!<br /><br />Have a super week! : )<br />Coco Rose Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708755502453874593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-3052201323550581172015-03-02T16:11:46.053+00:002015-03-02T16:11:46.053+00:00Thank you so much!

Regarding the ottoman you're covering, I have a square ottoman that I would like to crochet over, but am not seasoned enough to know how to create a pattern to do so.. do you have any suggestions of links that could serve as a learning tool on how to accomplish this?

Thinking of your ironing, I have a new approach to much-hated jobs that I thought I'd share - do it by time instead. So rather than ironing everything in the basket and thinking you've failed if there's anything left, tell yourself you'll iron for half an hour (or whatever) then STOP and put it away, knowing you've achieved your goal! After all, there'll be more ironing tomorrow anyway. Try it - works for lots of jobs!

I am meant to be working, but it was such a tempting distraction! I laughed at the photo of your ironed clothes - that's just the sort of thing I want to do when I've finally talked myself into ironing. I loathe it. As always, all your gorgeous, colourful pics have lifted my spirits.

Your new Drops yarn is gorgeous, especially the bi-coloured ones and your foot stool is going to be lovely too, that chalk pink is such a great colour. I have some serious sorting out to do in my house but not sure where to start, I think it will have to be a deep breath and just go. Have a great weekend.

Way too many. I cannot keep up with it all, and am forever feeling a mother failure! Thankfully with boys, they seem to care less, so it's more of a major deal for me than it is for them! I'm always behind with the house. It's never ending and its frustration. I spend a whole day catching up, then by the next morning it seems like it's been left a whole week! Never mind. I tell myself life's too short to spend so much time trying to keep on top of it all. Life is for enjoying too......so a bit of crochet is always good!!!!!!!
