Wool shopping

I went to town at lunch time today and bought some wool … well strictly speaking it isn’t wool, I suppose I should refer to it as yarn. Anyway - this is what I bought:

Pink Sirdar Funky Fur Magic - to make a pink fluffy scarf for Abi

Yellow/orange Sirdar Funky Fur Magic - to make […]

Cloud Dweller

Air, wind, atmosphere… you are a cloud dweller.
You are friendly to all, but often appear disinterested and lost in your thoughts, meaning most people don’t really know your full potential.

Hook holder progress 2

9 hook pockets … 6 to go

Then I will do another layer to go behind to give it a bit more strength, and edging … and then some ties for tying it up when it’s rolled. I’m pleased with how it’s going.

I’ve found a pattern online which I […]

Father of all

You are mighty and glorious!
We praise your name!
I pray that your purpose will be worked out
And we, your people, will do as you want us to do
Just […]
