I haven't been able to settle to anything much this week, flitting from one project to another. This is more than likely due to there being lots of projects needing to be done at a similar time (when is that never the case with me!) So, there has been lots of crocheted leaves ready for my 6 inch ring I am doing for the Guild exhibition. I have to get it done by the beginning of May, and there is still some more spinning to do too before that is finished.
At Christmas time a friend saw
the bag I made, and asked if I could make one for her. After explaining that I had lots of things on, and if she didn't mind waiting I could do her one in the grey Zwartble I had, she agreed. So I eventually turned my attentions to this this week, only to find I had spun the wool too fine to use for this project, so am doubling up the balls, and will have to spin some more wool to finish it.
I haave also been dragged into the 21st century with, not only a mobile phone, but a smart phone that does all kinds of things as well as making phone calls! So before I was happy to take it out anywhere I had to make a case for it to prevent the screen from getting scratched. I was going to use some handspun wool on that too, but it seemed a little rough, and was again too fine! So I raided the conservatory (where all the wool scraps are kept) and came across some self patterning "Crofter" by Sirdar. So combined with a dark grey for the collar, my new phone cosy was created.
As for reading, just a bit of Radical Homemakers before bed. Still enjoying it, but not finding much time to settle down and read.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has been up to in
