My next big project; ready to hook



Look what my postie brought!!!


He has a cheery knock, he rat a tats with rhythm and smiles when he sees me. He knows it is my Amazon love affair that KEEPS HIM IN A JOB!!!!

And the parcel came from....
I only ordered it off Ebay at the weekend, so I'm happy it came so soon. Do you want to see what's inside?

What you want a better look?


It's an Attic 24 pack of Stylecraft wool. I can't find the exact pack at the moment but there is an alternative colour way here and another pack with brilliant colours here.


I've never used Stylecraft before, but read a lot about it. And I have a big plan for it.

It's packed and ready to start, only a free night lies between me and the first few rows of a lovely granny stripe blanket. Hopefully by the time the bad weather really starts in earnest, it will be big enough to snuggle my feet under while I play hooky. And since crochet becomes a matter of rhythm and repetition I can watch a few favourite things.
Strictly returns on the 27th. I'm hoping that my daily dose of Strictly gossip, It Takes Two, comes back as well.

Downton is back on Sunday. After a marathon three series catch up in the summer, I am ready for whatever the storyline brings. Except perhaps more Shrimpy.
 And the countdown is on.....

  1. It's always exciting when new yarn arrives. I use Stylecraft regularly, it's a great budget yarn, I only really notice the squeakiness if my hands get really warm, whereas lots of other acrylic is really scratchy, Stylecraft is nice and soft. I'm finishing off a couple of projects and then I'll be embarking on a new one too. I'm giving Strictly a miss this year. I started watching the first show last week and turned it off, I only know a couple of the so called celebrities. I'm looking forward to Downton though, tissues at the ready.

    1. I have no choice. I'd like to say I watch Strictly, but it's more a matter of being dragged onto the dance floor by my daughter and throwing her around to the music!

  2. I love Stylecraft and use it all the time. I think it's terrific yarn. I can't wait for Downton to return but it won't be until January in the US! Boo hoo.

    Love the countdown clock for Dr Who.
