when last we were here I was hoping to get this done... well it got a couple more rows and a semblance of an edging and then it got too hot and heavy so I did other things.... my oven is a pain in the bum and likes to over brown things these days... hate it.... like ..... pie making and baking and also a banana bread was made but not photographed when I started crocheting a million years ago I used to make what is now called granny stripes...only I didn't use more than one colour I suddenly remembered how to so I did I started one and just seem to have kept going I have a lot of yarn to use up still and at some point went out and did some shopping the have to kind and the want to kind and I wanted to put the photo's I won into some frames so I found two frames in the dusty messy shop and brought them home... along with the have to haves and oh there's the banana bread or what's left of it don't you love having a full fruit plate!!!??? and more apples to make more appley things with and we can't go too much longer without a glimpse of the lake with the beginnings of sparkle time it's been so gloomy of late it's really nice to see blue water again but not a goose to be seen anywhere... I miss them :( and just coz this was front and centre yelling take me ... take me I did I moved this a matter of a couple of feet and it's taken off like a ... giant fern more sunshine and shadows and see how green it still is and as it's time to go I'll leave you with the moon in the trees the other night so..... good night moon and see you lovlies later... and to "a nonny mouse" who made comment of my stitches the only way I know how I make stitches is to make them and I don't think mine are any better than most but thank you!!!! I've been crocheting for a really long time so I don't really think about it anymore if you are new to hooking ... practice makes perfect ... and if it 's not perfect keep hooking !!!!! make sure the hook compliments the yarn try one size up or down unless you have to have a precise measurement make lots of wash cloths or scarves to practice stitches and most of all don't sweat it and have fun it's supposed to take the stress away not add to it !!! :) :) :) xx
