A special welcome to all recent followers and a huge thank you for your lovely comment's xxx
Well I've had a productive week yay Still not well :( but look what's been flying off my hook this week....
Doesn't it look bigger yay have another look hehe...
Did you notice? quite a few extra inches have been added yay.. the end is in sight :0)
I also threw a few Christmas squares together with a few little granny trees by The royal sisters blogspot.
So adorable and so quick to make i feel a garland is in store for the Christmas period :)
What are you going to do with them i hear you say hehe Well I've enjoyed making them sooo much for Sibol that i thought I'd make a lapghan for myself :) knowing my failure to complete blankies etc i could end up keeping them till the Christmas challenge rolls around again hehe we shall see ..........
And finally but by no means least i made a huge yarn error ladies ooh yes ... i purchased 8 balls of this Sirdar snowflake dk yarn to make my friend a baby girl ripple blankie and i couldn't work with it :( i tried the recommended hook tried a bigger hook but to no avail so unfortunately i had to return 7 of the balls i kept the one i practiced on it would have been rude to return it used don't you think.
And came back home with this
Ahhh that's better i added a green too just to break the colours up a little and knowing my friend adores green i can't go wrong
For my reference more than anything so that if i run out of a particular shade I'll know what to purchase hehe So nose to the grindstone for me the babe is due to be induced Tuesday if she doesn't arrive beforehand.
I wasn't happy with the African flower one i was making for her hence a quick rethink, what a pickle i get myself into. Anyway i hope to show you the emergency ripple next along with more progress on that big ripple I'm busy working on :0)
Until then take care everyone much love Amanda xxx
the ripple blanket is looking good! love those Christmas squares, the would look good in a blanket. And I like the green added in with all the pinks, I bet they will look so good together
ReplyDeleteI've managed to work up all the colours i bought and it's looking how i wanted so all's good so far xx thank you Casey xx
ReplyDeleteYour ripple blanket is lovely, I really must make one, and your christmas squares are fab :) xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Melanie xx i must admit it's getting terribly exciting to see an end in sight :) however this baby ripple is taking priority at the minute.
ReplyDeleteAmanda,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations you are doing so well with the ripple. Beautiful colours.
I just love ripples I made quite a few last year. They grow so quickly.
These new balls of yarn too look so interesting!!!!!
Love Sue

There is definitely a difference in the size now! The squares are really nice.
ReplyDeleteThose Christmas squares are fabulous. I am sorry you haven't felt well but seems you have had great hooky time.
ReplyDeleteSue, they're gorgeous to work with so soft almost on the 4th repeat yay xxx
ReplyDeleteClara, i have a week off work so hopefully it will grow even more fingers crossed xx
Erin, thank you the pattern is available here and on Sibol if you fancy a go at the wreath ones :) a whole week of hooky time is in store yay xxx
Snowflake is a pain to work with. You did right in swapping it. x
ReplyDeleteA pain it is i think that yarn would work knitted maybe i don't know all i know is how scrumptiously soft it was and for the life of me couldn't see where i was going. i stretched went bigger in hook size but no it was'nt for me :( i'm happy i swapped valuable lesson learnt xxx
