This morning, we said goodbye to the younger of our cats, Slinky Malinki. She was just ten years old, and diagnosed in February with chronic kidney disease. Some cats live for years with kidney disease; Slinky, sadly, has had a fairly steady decline since then. This week, the vet told us she had reached the … More A feline friend
I’m just popping in briefly to let you know that Deramores do keep getting more stock in – but you all keep snatching it up as soon as it’s available! I know it’s terribly frustrating for those of you who are trying to buy colour packs, but there is plenty of time left before the … More Colour packs
I am slowly, slowly ticking things off my crochet to-do list. Well, it’s less of a list and more of a ‘argh must do this, must finish that, must sort out ALL of that’, so maybe I actually ought to start a list, and then I might feel less swamped? Anyway, things are Progressing. Some … More To-do list and a little ‘ta da!’
Who would like to hear a cautionary tale? It’s called ‘don’t ever wash a piece of crochet you’ve just finished when you’re too tired to think straight’. Oh yes. You can see where this is going, right? So if you remember, I had a set of twenty 6″ squares that I rejected from my latest … More A Cautionary Tale
Somehow most of September has slipped by without me really noticing it. Can you believe it’s October tomorrow?! I can’t. Though the weather today is certainly trying to convince me that yes, it really is autumn now. Wet and grey and windy. Oh yes, it’s saying, the summer is over, get out your blankets again, … More Busy busy busy
I have finished my ‘palate cleansing’ baby ripple blanket, hurrah! I actually finished it last weekend, but it’s taken this long to manage to get pictures 😀 I’m very pleased with it. I did not get tighter as I went along, so it’s beautifully square all the way from beginning to end. It was nice, … More Ta da! Baby blue ripple blanket
This is clearly a week for Getting Things Done. In other words, this week, I have finished two projects, and started a third. Yay me! The first project I finished is the beautiful, gorgeous, complex blanket that I’ve been working on since January. Yes, January! That’s how long ago it was that I started designing … More One, two, three
All the ‘rules’ say you shouldn’t say, in a blogpost, ‘ahh, it’s been so long since I updated, I’m sorry’, so I won’t say it. All I will say is that Life has been a bit hectic over the last few weeks, and leave it at that 😀 Crocheting is progressing, slowly. My blanket … More This and that
I’ve been a little slower on the crochet front over the last ten days. I am still progressing fairly well with joining pieces of blanket together, but my primary focus has been outdoors. Because, sadly, last Sunday night, a fox got into my chicken coop. I woke up last Monday to find one chicken disappeared, … More Operation: Not My Damn Chickens
