I'm really pleased with the Maid of Honour Shawl because of the way the colours have blended together. I did have to fiddle a bit at the end as I wanted to make sure I got to the solid colour for the edge and I didn't want to chance not having enough yarn.
So pleased that I worked out how much to do each day for Hope's Blanket as it means I finished it well before her birthday later this month.
I don't want to post to much about it in case she sees it so here's a sneak preview....
My work on the Temperature Blanket has ground to a halt with seven more rows to finish September off. I have run out of wool in the required colour so as soon as I have caught up I will post the usual monthly update.
And as everything was up to date or finished I managed a couple of extras!
I finally got a chance to start on the August Little Box of Crochet but I must confess I wasn't happy with my efforts. It was a pattern for a little crochet purse worked in two halves and then joined and sewn in to a frame. I worked the first side and felt I was struggling so put it to one side. Once I had time I watched some lovely help videos that went with it and found that my initial attempt was actually okay so I did the second side and finished it last night.
I think this is going to fall into the category of "nice to do but I won't be rushing to do more just yet".
A little extra in the box was some cross-stitch which I did enjoy doing - always find cross stitch calming as it satisfies the mathematical part of my brain.
So, as I've caught up I have been able to add so projects to my list!
