Hooked Yarn

Not much crocheting – too much rain!

Not much crocheting going on around here lately, or indeed on holiday actually and my fingers are starting to itch.  Not much on holiday as we borrowed a friends kayak for the week so instead of sitting on the beach while they surfed and snorkeled, I don’t like being ‘in’ the water, I kayaked around and loved it.  I just need to get a waterproof bag and I can take my crocheting while I bob about on the waves…

We also visited Skomer Island which is stunning and gorgeous and well worth a visit if you’re ever in that part of Wales.  A 10 minute boat trip and your’re left there for 4 hours to explore, birds, seals and rabbits and beautiful scenery.

 

Unfortunately there was also a lot of the other sort of wet by the end of the holiday

 

abley demonstrated by the monsters.  We had just been paddling in the monsoon like weather, well, it was warm at least, though the husband refused to join in the singing and skipping!  So we gave in and came home a day early.  But since then we have had lots of friends staying over so still no more crocheting! 

The last visitors though have been the eldest’s friends for a sleepover and while noisy/messy/smelly they have entertained themselves so I have been having a sort out.  What with all these people sleeping in MY room I’ve had to be a bit magic in shoving wool and paper in all sorts of places.  However tidying is not always good, you see all your bits and the ideas start flowing and the colours distract you.  I decided to sort out my bits of wool as they are getting in a mess again and gathered all the little bits together:

 

and look what I came up with

 

how pretty!  Now, what can I do with it…

And don’t forget, you’ve still got time to enter my first givaway!
