Hooking in the Sun

 
Hello to you...
I have a confession to make I've still not finished my stripy blanket. My problem is I keep changing my mind as to what size to have. I think I will keep going until my yarn runs out, then I don't have to make a decision hehe. 
 
I think the colours are blending well.
I like the loose ends I'm tempted to leave them ....

I actually got to sit outside and play hooky yesterday the sun was shiny and I thought why not.

I'm thinking by mid week next week I should be finished.
 
Now for my bargain of the week....
50p from my local charity shop I'm really pleased with them.

There a good size, quite small so perfect for a quick cuppa. I love the folksy design and colours.
My daughter and I had fun making peg dolls today. Her dolly was so cute and creative it even had a parasol.
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.
xx

    Your blanket's looking great. Running out of yarn has been the deciding factor for size for 3 out of the four blankets I've finished.

      Thank you Sara. I was worried to begin with they might have been too bright but I like them too now :)

    I agree with both of you running out of yarn is sometimes the best (very best) way of determining size! It has worked for me many-a-time... Enough of that. Really I think your blanket is coming along quite well and the colors are definitely quite beautiful together. The peg dolls with your daughter must have been so much fun and hers is really cute. How old is she? I think she has the crafty gift already. Ta Ta for now, Cathy the Bagg Lady

    I love the colours in your blanket :D The red really makes it all pop! So bright and cheery - I ALSO love, love, love your coffee cups!There is just something about the design that is so intriguing!

    I think it is fabulous that you are getting your daughter involved in crafts - it looks like a fun project - my daughter and I may have to give it a whirl too :)

    Hope the rest of your weekend went splendidly!

    Your blanket is so nice and colorful! I wish I could crochet outside but everything is just so dusty and dirty all the time. That's what happens when you live in the desert. :/ Cute peg doll and lovely little cups. Have a great week. Tammy

    Your blanket is lovely! Keeping going until I run out of yarn is usually my method too!

    Oh dear FB, I will try to re-do the message that your naughty little finger swiped - and thank you for caring about what I had to say!
    Your blanket is so bright and cheery and sometimes I think it's a good idea to just keep going until the yarn runs out, which is precisely what I am doing with the little one I'm working on right now!
    Well done to your little girl for the lovely peg doll - and I do rather fancy the combi in the background there!!! Joy xx

      I was really annoyed with myself! naughty finger indeed.
      Oh I look forward to seeing your new blanket...I've just finished my blanket, the yarn has all gone!
      Do you mean the lego camper van? A gift from my partner one day we will afford the real thing.
      I will pass your message on to my daughter she'll be so pleased. Thank you for the lovely comments always look forward to them xx
