Stash busting gypsy carvan blanket CAL

Hello to you.

It's been a good week so far - the temperature has risen a little and I haven't seen rain for a few days... Woo hoo!

With the weather set to get better next week spring is certainly in the air.

I've picked up the hook again this week and have decided to take on my biggest project yet, a huge granny square blanket to go on the back of my sofa. It's also helping me do some much needed stash busting.

Oh dear I have let my stash mount up - so many opened left overs.

I've made a start making lovely circular middles and I now have 13 squares made with ends stitched in! I'm quite impressed with the progress so far. All photographed on my new coffee table, it has a very handy shelf underneath for keeping my crochet magazines...

My summer colour blanket is growing slowly...

Here are some signs of spring in my garden.

Look what I found while stash busting - a lovely new ball of matching beige yarn! So it looks like I will be growing my never-ending granny blanket a little further... Lucky I didn't fasten off properly!

I'm secretly happy to be hooking away on this relaxing project again.

Happy crocheting whatever you're making!

Thank you so much for the encouraging comments on the last post.

Until next time, have a lovely weekend. Hopefully you will enjoy signs of spring wherever you are.

Time to get organised

Hello to you...

Still working on the cushions -

They are growing slowly.

 

I've been busy today, getting a bit more organised.

I've always kept my yarn labels.

Having a cuppa and a chat with my Mum she suggested why not stick them in a book then I can flick through with easy access.

Good idea I thought, then took it a bit further and stuck samples of yarn in so I can see the exact colour.

This may not be new to all you organised Annie's.

My yarn was in chaos...I'm never going to be super organised but I'm a step closer.

I find it useful to jot down what yarns I've used and where too.

Excuse the writing.

I just used a cheap note book, bought in a sale last year.

Lots of yarns!

 

While making the book I realised how much yarn I've got!

You can never have too much though, can you?

Hope everyone is having a lovely week so far?
