What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Don't worry, the week hasn't been as bad or exciting as this blog post's title might suggest. Actually it's been quite dull and I haven't got as much to report as usual, as it's been quite a quiet week apart from usual busy-ness in the kitchen, and…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? 1. Kitty Throw Great progress on the kitty throw this week. I've completed my 80 crochet squares! I just had to finish the embroidery on the cat stitch squares before going on to the next step. I wanted the cats formed by the cat stitch to have…

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? More on tiny carpets This week I have been working on the second tiny carpet. Here is the design I made, adapted from an image I found on Pinterest. Beginning the design. This time, I didn't attempt to start in the middle. I knew the finished dimensions…
