It does not seem to have been a very productive Friday for me, mainly because I spent the afternoon sorting through family photographs, newspaper cuttings etc for my family book. I think I made some progress, found out that my Grandmother was one of 10 children and that the house they lived in, in Ipswich, was not far from where I lived and worked for some years! But she never mentioned it as she fell out with her family but I have never known what over.
I did work in my stitch journal, I am adding leaves at the moment.
And here are my October entries.
My evening consisted of some crochet and the ripple blanket has surfaced again this week. Making good progress at the moment.
I think I need to add another 12 or so inches to this, hopefully the wool will take me that far!
The reason that the ripple blanket surfaced is because I finished my crochet jumper. Considering how many false satrts I had I am now very happy with my finished jumper.
the ripple blanket is beautiful! I haven't worked on my slow stitch journal in a while
ReplyDeleteHello, Lin. Your stitches are so beautiful and creative. Would love to touch it as it has so many textures. So cool. Bravo on finishing the jumper. Those colours suit you so well. You look awesome! Hope the wool takes you to the finish line. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your jumper. Your perseverance paid off!! As always, your stitchery looks beautiful. The story about your grandmother is intriguing and a shame at the same time. Hope your weekend continues to inspire you.
ReplyDeleteYour ripple blanket is such pretty autumnal tonings Lin. I would certainly be pleased with that jumper too! It looks wonderful & fits you perfectly. xx
ReplyDeleteOh I love the jumper... and just in time for the cooler season! and the ripple blanket looks great too. You have kept up with the stitch journal well - I love the designs that are being made. I think we should try sausages from different butchers... I do remember english sausies being so good...
