Please do not get me wrong, I love mushy peas as much as the next person, but I keep drifting in and out of love with this colour. I wandered into a yarn shop a week or so ago and got completely seduced. They stock all the Rowan yarns, and I simply adore Rowan yarns. I love the colours and to my knowledge it is the loveliest yarn to work with.
I used to knit a lot as a teenager, but that is many moons ago, and have not done much of it since. But I decided there and then that I was going to make this...
It was actually great discovering that knitting apparently is in my blood, it all came back to me immediately and I have not been without my needles for the past 8 days or so. It is nearly finished now, only part of the border to go. If only I was more sure about the colour...
To make myself love it more, I got some shoes in the same hue...
I will show you the finished project when it is done, I am already looking at more projects...Am as addicted to knitting as I am to crochet now!
Enjoy your crafting and the sun!
I luuuurrvvv the colour. Those shoes are fab!!
ReplyDeleteOooohhh Caroline! I see this pretty color over a white tshirt and pants with those cute shoes to match. I must admit I would not dare wear that color as my skin is far too light. Can't wait to see it done. I envy people when I see they can wear such fun colors. And I love mushy peas!
ReplyDelete20 books for the whole summer? That is quite alot. I am trying for 2 books a month but have lately read 3 books in April, May and June. My reading list is growing on my blog. But it also has to do with wanting to place a new order for books and not allowing myself until a good number of other books is read and given to a friend. :-) And guess what I got in the mail today? My free book from Persaphone Books. They gave away one free book with a purchase of two on their 10th birthday.
Back to your reading...you will have to have lots of cold drinks and your feet up in a shady spot in the garden for the rest of the summer to work through that stack of books. Sounds wonderful to me!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by my blog and leaving a message, it's always nice meeting me people.
I've had a lovely read of your blog and your Christmas brooches are very pretty.
I like your reading lsit, the Bloomsbury group fascinate me too. I've read or would like to read a few of the books/authors you've listed.
I am very jealous of your crochet skill. I tried to learn a couple of months back, but got stuck and frustrated, must have another go.
Good luck in your job search.

There's nothing like a new pair of shoes to have a motivating effect. Good luck with your project.
