Last evening of my vacation...
I have been busy the last few days. I have finished the shopping bag sack. Now I need to find the right colour of cotton paint so it will fit in my kitchen. I have seen the colour I like in the store, but they only had the large containers to put in the machine and I don't think it will be very wise to put this one small item on it's own in the machine. I am not in any hurry so I will keep my eyes open for the small packages. 
I have also been doing a lot of hairpin lace. Working on the last strip. Or at least, at the moment I think it is the last strip. Not sure yet. I have enough yarn to make a few more strips but it probably is wide enough by now. It sure is long!! (710 loops).
I finished the Moebius, but it turned out it is the first attempt. That's what you get when you're not working with a pattern...It is way to small. I have already cast on a second attempt (with the second ball of yarn I had). I made it much wider, and it will also be longer. When I have finished this ball I will have the new moebius cannabilize on the other.
I couldn't help myself, hd to visit my parents this week and they live close to a great yarn shop and I needed some yarn to finisch a vest I am making so I had to go there...And bought more. This will be for a very large granny square blanket. I am using the willow square block from the Jan Eaton book, and I calculated I need at least 165 squares. I am working on the first 30 here. I decided to do 10 of each colouring at a time and crochet by color. Already this is getting a bit boring, but I guess I will have to go through it to get what I really want.
I really don't feel like going back to work tomorrow...

Some really lovely makes there, the green wrap around (is this the moebius? a new word for me! excuse my ignorance) is stunning, are you making this for you or will you be selling them on? Sarah x
ReplyDeletep.s I love your blog, really interesting, thanks.
Thank you for the compliments!
ReplyDeleteFor now I am mainly making things for myself and homework. I hope I can one day make a living out of it. (The green thing is the Moebius)
