Saturday Roundup

 Welcome one and all to sunny Somerset! No, the weather has not changed - just a brief interlude after this mornings rain. We are told that it has rained every day this year so far. Enough.

My Stitch Journal for the week.



And my crochet progress.


Was getting nicely through week 4 and thought I might have caught up by Friday when the next instructions were released. However, felt a slight twinge at the base of my thumb so thought I might give it a rest for a few days rather than make it worse. For my yarn choice - the Yarnsmiths Merino, week 5 is the last of the main body and next week Lucy is talking about borders. So I will see how I get on and how much yarn I have left.

I have made a start on my Easter rabbit, this is the front.


However I am now thinking I might have gone too high as the scarf will probably obscure the top flower, so maybe it will be the back! Oh well, thats what you get for winging it. Having fun though which is the main thing.
Hope you are having fun too. See you next week.

  9. I feel you on the rain front. We have had an appalling Summer here in NZ. You must be due some sunshine soon. Lovely to see the sun is still in your stitching though, those yellows and golds will brighten your day. Hope your thumb heals quickly.

  10. It sounds like you have perfect stitching weather. I love your rug. One of my stitching group ladies is making one as well, but in Stylecraft DK. I’m sure you will make a gorgeous bunny.
