Perfect Little Stitch's

Perfect lil stitch's, hooked on crochet.

My design, inspired by my Ecuador yarn collection.
A crochet bag (It could be an Etsy buy)
I'm still working on having a shop (on line Etsy)

These are the stitches that flowed
Whist sitting on my patio;-).

Rows and rows of perfect little stitch's.

This bag will be lovely, the texture and feeling of the five yarns mixed together, great.

Perfect stitch's, Up even closer;-)

(Congrats to Karin on baby Z)

Thank you for the most wonderful comments on the last post; I had so much fun reading them all!! There is never anything but friendliness from all of you who visit, and I will never cease to appreciate that.

Here's a little bit of what I've been doing when not out in the gardens weeding.

...'Owls' by Kate Davies and hoping to have it finished before the snow flies. I'm using 2 strands of Lion Brand wool::color Natures Brown purchased at Joann Fabrics with 40% off coupons.

baking~ ...Zucchini bread courtesy of Paula Deen, a perfect way to use up those zucchini ~ it's excellent and going fast!

Reading ~

...found this at a great price, used, online ~ a short but very sweet book.

projects ~

...this yard sale folding table, only $2.50 and transformed with some paint...

Behr's Light French Gray eggshell finish.

And no, the whole floor is not finished yet {did we really think it would be done by July?!} as there's waaay too much outdoor work right now--I will be so glad when it is finally finished!!!

Today's crochet and my shadow obsession.

Knit cafe

I'm hopefully running one (mini project), it's to do with my kid's school. Not just me, I have a second in command Celine very strong crocheter;-).

I had to announce it today, 1st PTA meet
(slightly nervous)
But I think that it went well.

We will see, once I have finalised the venue. Will they come.......

I even made a little knit cafe booklet, describing what a knit Cafe meet, means to me. I use the term made lightly as I have thing saved in the pc that's as far as I've gotten.

Tonight's plan!, finalise pamphlet.........well try

P,T,A crochet

A bag, Ecuador yarn style.
Size five hook, five bright yarns and a basket(coffee) and of we go.

Door plate


My letter E (plan B,C? not sure what)

Crochet lettering, two colours at the same time.

I do like that you can be tidy with the colour that you are not using. This way of making the letter, does not really impress me it's just too organised.

I prefer plan A, that being total free form, so I turned my sample into a door plate for my daughters friend.

Pizza Slice Crochet, any one?

This is project shawl
I began the triangles, but on taking the photo today , they look so good that you could eat then, sandwich/cake slice?.
