What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? A great sense of achievement this week - two projects completed, and another one started! Kitty Throw Working on the border I was very thrilled to find the pattern for this border online. I think it works very well with the solid squares of this blanket, and…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Kitty throw A milestone! I felt really chuffed as I joined in the final square at the bottom right of the blanket - the one with our initials in a heart. Imagine a fanfare. All the squares are now joined, and the blanket itself is complete. I…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? The kitty throw is growing! Five columns of squares joined. Six columns joined. Seven columns joined. It is now getting pretty big and heavy to work on! The only time I can work on it is when my hubby is out for a good length of time,…

It's been a busy week Chez Shosh. What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Steaming ahead with the cat throw and reaching the next milestone - I have finished crocheting all the embellishments. This is how the chart looks now: The bottom section is now blank! This means that there are no more "still…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Working on the embellishments for the cat throw. I am finding the chart I made last week extremely useful, and it's fun adjusting it each time I complete another crocheted kitty, and seeing the bottom half of the chart gradually diminishing in number. As you can see,…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? This week I have been working on the embellishments for the cat throw. With a total of 80 squares in the blanket, there are quite a lot of embellishments to make. I have bundled them together according to type, to keep them organised until I can sew…
