What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Working on the cat throw. I decided to join the first column of squares, just to see how it went. I discovered a lovely pattern online for crocheting squares together; I really didn't want to sew them, and I thought a more decorative joining might be fun,…
Shaz We are all devastated to hear the news that we have lost our beloved Shaz (Silverwolf) this week. Here she is with her wonderful husband and soul-mate Doug, sitting with my hubby on the day they visited us back in February 2015 just before I was due to undergo my own cancer…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? This week I continued working away at my kitty squares. I'm glad I decided to make a round number of 6 of the difficult ones. I've got a bit faster at doing them but constantly make mistakes and have to undo it. The final one, which I…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Same thing as last week - squares for the kitty throw! I decided to do a different style of square, working back and forth rather than in the round, following a graph design of a kitty face. Here is the design I made. My first attempt was…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Still working at squares for the kitty throw. Nothing new to show really, but I'm on the home stretch with the squares, and I've got quite a full bag of them now. I've got to make 80 in all, and then it's on to the kitty appliqué…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Cat throw My new wool has arrived, and I am very pleased with it. It seems to be nice and soft, and of good quality. My hubby said he wasn't very impressed with the standard of packing, and I had to agree! However, the contents were fine.…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Kitty throw I finally ran too low on yarns to continue, so I have ordered some more - 500g cones in the required colours. There will be plenty of yarn to spare, to go in my stash for other projects. Until it arrives, I am using the…
Well, what can one say about 2020? So much has been said already so I'm not going to say anything! - at least, about national and world events which I actually do have a great deal to say about, but this is not a political blog. I shall stick to my own personal…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? First of all, a beautiful card from Shaz (Silverwolf). Thank you, Shaz! It's shiny and glittery and quite 3-D, and I love the embossed background too. Brilliant! As for what I have been doing this week, I have been making slow but steady progress on my crochet…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Tiny Carpet #5 complete The work on this one has progressed really well this week. Last week I left you with the green partially done. Here is the green, completed (apart from the background). To begin the backgrounds for the top and bottom sections, I have chosen…
