A finished project and more underway
Well, a combination of a wet couple of weeks and a cold going through the family means some projects have been finished and some have had to wait their turn. I finished crocheting the ‘Granny Square ‘ blanket and sewed it up this weekend . A total of 19 balls of wool and at least 12 colours I think. It looks good on the couch in my lounge :
It’s great for snuggling up under by the fire ! When you crochet the resulting garment is twice the thickness of a knitted garment so it’s toasty warm.

I have managed to spend a little time in my studio and made these two books from a couple of recycled whiskey bottle boxes. They turned out quite well I think – I used my new ‘corner’ punch to round the corners of them . Each has about 30 pages of lined, graph and plain paper. Simple pamphlet binding.
Hubby has already grabbed one – said he will use it for ‘tasting notes’ : )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also have made a new screen and have some fabric printing underway :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I found this book in a second hand shop and have ‘warped’ my loom again and am experimenting with ‘texture and pattern’ in some sample weaving :
I was really please to find this as the publishing date was 1980 and I don’t think it’s in print any more!
Hope you are keeping warm where ever you are.
