yarn eater/rug muncher

potaytoe.potahtoe.

so i've now got a handful of little crafty vixens here at work that i've taught to crochet.
and last year our learning project was to create versions of the house of holland shawl for ourselves.
this year's project is going to be the wool eater!

both me and beautiful and wonderful caroline started ours out in peachy colours today:

guts

i would write more about my latest crochet project progress right now but my blondeboy just brought me cava breakfast in bed.

see why i love his guts so much?

and now i'm back...

...from bristol!

went for the festival and yarnbombed a bit - people and things.

now back at work - glitter free and very very tired and needing some help with project.

i've got something that i need machine knitted, and something else that is kinda related hand knitted...yes i know it's very very vague but its double uber top secret.

please get in touch if you think you might be able to help, thanks!

nice crochet rant!

john lewis has some lovely cottons and crochet patterns where the rowan display used to be! whohoo! i bought a bit of the gedifra samina to use on my freeform crochet-a-long project...which seems to be coming along okay...monday is new clue day! so excited to see what we will be doing this week.

mayday! mayday!

so as the weather is sooo shit in london this weekend, and i was stuck in waiting for my oldest friend to turn up from back home, i finally got stuck into the doris chan book n started a project from it! n i am so oo glad that i did, as it's been extra warm and cozy to be playing with mohair on such a rotten day...it is so cold here that we actually wished we had gloves when we were out shopping and pubbing today!

and what's really great is even though i started it this evening when we got back from the pub, i am pretty much halfway finished and it's only just got 1am...if it was light enough in our bedroom i'd be working on it now - i had to vacate the sitting room as the old friend gets the big over-stuffed goosedown sofa for her few hours snooxe...she has an early flight so i reckon i'll be awake again in a few hours - that's if i get to sleep at all. i'm starting to get back to my old insomniac self.

which is oky - as it means more time for crochet!

just barely home...

at least its in time for 24 - even though i'm sky plussing it anyway as thought i'd make it to cafe stitch tonight...but no.

so must must must must must make it to hoxton knitters tomoro night. although i reckon i'm now just making superfluous skully squares.

i REALLY have to find another pub project asap.

cold feet!

went shopping for a new pair of cozy ugg-type slippers today on the way home from the gym...and they were all just too uncomfortable. just too structured to be cozy - too much like boots. which got me thinking...i used to always make crocheted slippers for everyone and wear them myself but somehow got out of the habit. so my next little project is to find some uber-warm and cozy fuzzy yarn and a sexy crocheted boot pattern and get going as the longer i leave it the colder my tootsies get!

o and not sure i'll be making it to any knitclubs this week...
on wednesday i have a little check up with lovely french doc to check he is happy with the nefertiti lift he did on me and thursday night there is a showcase on at the mill in soho that i said i'd go with the fiance to...then the weekend at the waterside!

and next week we are in milan to see the black keys and to get tattooed. so might not see all my knitclub friends for a few weeks.
o dear.

will miss you!
