Double ended hooks

New! not seen before......
Knit story
I found a really cheap place to stock up on my acrylic wool in the UK.
A sewing machine fixing shop, opp Primark (make it easy)

We chatted about Stockholm, I guess he wondered why 10 balls all bright colour balls of acrylic.

Then I saw that he had a little collection on needles for a £1(the usual sort)

On asking if he had any crcohet hooks, as this trip to UK I forgotten to pack
my knit fix bag.

I had a 25! and a 8 variety, not. Mind you any hooks better than none.

He replied "no" to crochet hook request, I thought id look anyway, for my knitting needle collection I can always find more space , Just one more set.......

Shining from the bottom of the pot a gold doubled ended crochet hook!
Around a size 3 and 3.5.

I joked with him not knowing his stock, and he gave it to me, yes told me to pop it in my bag a kind knit gesture.

A hook for Free........now that's a story worth sharing.

A hook or a screw

A charity shop purchase and I think that it could have possibly been hand made.

Extremely tarnished so it spent a night in the brown sauce
(English bad habit)

(The sauce acidic, I think that's the science part)

I'm a Marmite girl.

The screw looking part, I think the term is bevelled
(I may have heard Rich mention this term)

But any how, home made = made with love.
A rare one to my collection.

Basically a bit of knitted Graffiti, on a big scale.

I think that it's covering as much of Sergal concentrate area (chequer board part) as can be done.

Progress so far...........
I'm currently on my third video cog, so it is a pretty cost effective you get a lot
on a roll.

More Easy Scrunchie Socks

Here's another pair of easy scrunchie socks in Peruvian Highland wool (a bluish-gray heather) - I did fewer purl rows to make sure I wouldn't run out of yarn.

Duh! I just realized I could link to all the worsted weight sock knitting patterns via Ravelry HERE. 535 patterns come up (you can also limit the search to just free patterns) but there are only a few that are stranded and I think I've already knit them all. I'm finishing a red pair and then I'm going to have to find some other socks to try.

To crochet a poncho for dolly

Lady bird nerdy fact site,Just being informative

The earliest Ladybird books were not given series numbers and are much larger than the standard Ladybird size.

The books, published by Wills and Hepworth, began to appear from 1914. The Ladybird logo was registered in 1915.

Too cute, can you image children of today, when the book just talks about making gifts for your family and not about how to make your self look 20 when your only 12.

And even at twelve, dare I mention a doll.
Unfortunately for the children of today they are faced daily with the
popular ever growing media magazine frenzy,
That they don't really get a chance to play with dolls.

They are to busy trying to look grown up, because they want to be the next Brittany.

Mind you on the bright side,they could then be like me. Buy a new one when you get to 35! regression or just simply having fun.

This is defianlty Some thing that I could re create for my Blythe.

Inflation or popularity, but the price went up by a whole 9 pence quiet considerable in 3 years.

Rasmus the naughty puppy
He is not aloud to get on the beds,he is defiantly not aloud in the clean washing. That was neatly sat in piles on my bed, waiting to be put away.
(I hate that part)
But my door left ajar, when I was looking for him this evening this is what I found, he is so naughty he stayed in this exact spot whilst I went to find my camera.
