Doggy Crochet and a 1976 Yarn ?


Weird Habits

I have a habit of keeping the yarn labels, it's because my yarn is a collection from all over, brought new given old and charity shop chic.


Rarely using the same yarns to complete a project (always mixing)

I keep the label and clip together referencing whichever project that I worked on at that time. (Accounts/yarn management)

This yarn made me think about just how old that some yarns be it an acrylic sit in a stash, the label saying 1976

The fact that it's called lady love........

And that this yarn that had been kept safe for so long whether it be forgotten, unloved is now happily crocheted in my sons uni blanket.
(Another laughter moment)

Dog Diary's

Entry Doggy Crochet, Step one

Rasmus obviously getting a little fed up with my mass amount of stitching, thought if you cant beat them join them.........

This week I caught him on my sofa using his teeth and doggy paws.......
unfortunately he is not that clever as he thought.

Below stressed at his lack of achievement, not a single stitch.

Recycled

The Shrug that was once part of a dress and with my Re-do 2 has now become a useful shrug.





Impressive

Looking through lets knit magazine I discovered Thistle and Broom.


Currently studying part time /textile and Eva Fleg Lambert was mentioned for her dying techniques.

Had a little click on the site and saw this, wow just fabulous its Ardalanish Tweed/satin made to measure evening gown.

The red genuine Harris Tweed Ardalansih certified organic Tweed......
Could it get any better.

The Julia Roberts red in pretty women springs to mind.
