My WIP posts have not been weekly lately as I’ve been working on the same projects, but this week I’ve finally almost caught up on the Coastal Crochet CAL so hopefully soon I can start a new project (no idea what though!) I’m so proud to have actually caught up at last, I’ve been so…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-11th July
Its sweltering here, but gloriously sunny. It does mean that it’s very warm even at night, so crocheting on a larger project like the Coastal Crochet CAL has to be done in small chunks. We’ve also spent a lot of time watering the allotment which has cut into my craft time too (hopefully it’ll be…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-27th June
I haven’t written a WIP post for two weeks, but at least this one will show some progress! The last week has been a bit busy with a tonne of cards to make for Father’s Day, birthdays and anniversaries. Yarn crafts have yet again been put on the back burner, but I did manage some…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-20th June
It’s been a while since I was able to write a WIP Wednesday post, as I just hadn’t done much crafting. However, our recent holiday gave me plenty of time for knitting and crochet and I’ve managed to carry that on to some extent since we got home. I’ve done a lot of catching up…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-6th June
It’s been a week where I seem to have done anything but work on my projects! Between sorting the allotment and a weekend away for my birthday, craft has taken a back seat. (I did enjoy my weekend away though, it was a very rare treat and we had some lovely adventures, including stopping in…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-16th May
This week has seen me take quite a relaxed approach to my projects. Mr C has had a change of rota at work and it’s been his big block of time off so we’ve had some family time, including my son’s first St. George’s Day parade with Beavers. I’ve continued with the Coastal Crochet cal…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-25th April
It’s Friday 13th, but I’m not feeling superstitious. In fact, I’m feeling very happy as I have finally finished the cosy stripe blanket. It’s quite heavy, but really warm, and both cosy and stripy as the pattern suggests! I worked the stripes until I had run out of parchment coloured yarn, which I had the…… Continue reading FO Friday-13th April
Last week in my WIP Wednesday post I said that I was going to have a busy week. Somehow I still fitted in some of my own crafting around making birthday cakes, a birthday card, Easter baskets for 4 children and an Easter tree. (I think the weather has been on my side-the allotment is…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-4th April
I’ve had one of those weeks filled with good intentions to craft, but I’m getting nowhere fast. I have made a little progress though, so all is not lost. The sock I started last week now has all of the ribbing completed plus 3 or 4 pattern repeats on the leg. I’ve taken the sock…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-28th March
Thank goodness my busy week is over-I survived working an extra day and the disco/fundraiser was a huge success. Things are back to normal this week (apart from an incoming tide of birthday party invites for both children!) and so I’m hoping to get more crafting done. I did manage a few craft sessions this…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-21st March
