Beautiful Blue

It's been a blue kind of week...

New dark blue yarn. I am planning a Christmas (!!!) present with this...

Loving my teacup necklace bought with some birthday money recently...

A little posy of flowers picked in the garden by Miss M especially for me...

Lots of lovely blues in my current cross stitch...

Blue straws. I bought a lovely pack of prettily coloured straws in Ikea recently and Miss M sorted them all out into colours. This week has been a blue straw week, last week was pink...

In town with a good friend today I bought this skirt. I really love the pretty print...
Thank you so much for the sweet comments about my jam pot covers. I am still trying to finish off the ice cream blanket but keep getting distracted by crochet! I seem to be obsessed by crochet at the moment and keep planning new projects. I have another really small little crochet make to show you really soon and then it's definitely back to knitting at least until the blanket is finished. I didn't realise how much slower than crochet knitting is!

    Blue is my favourite colour, and your yarn looks very interesting. A beautiful posy of flowers from your daughter. Another interesting make - your cross stitch, I love the splash of orange.

    I love that teacup necklace. Those flowers are so pretty and your skirt is so unusual.

    I love blue, it's my favorite after purple. The teacup necklace is adorable, and it looks nice with that top you're wearing!

    What a lovely lot of blue, love the sky blue straws and the sweet little posy. I to have knitting languishing mines a leaf cushion, as you say it takes so long compared to crochet.

    Oh just keep crocheting, I say! ;-) I tried learning to knit after Little Flower was born, I couldn't get my head round the slowness of it all and contend with a new baby...I like to think that I will try knitting again in the winter, when she turns four. Til then it's instant gratification with quick crochet makes! Chrissie x PS I want your necklace!!!

    I have realised when I looked at my ravelry projects how much crochet I actually turn out - it is so much faster. I have a knitted cardigan for big sis on the go which seems endless. Love your bits of blue. Jo x

    I love each and every pic - and the meaning and sentiment behind each one. The straws are such a beautiful colour! Joy x

      Thank you for your lovely comments! Crochet took me a few attempts as well, I tried to learn from a book and then eventually got the hang of it from watching lots of YouTube tutorials! Have a great weekend.

    Blue's my favourite colour so I like all of these photos :) I've recently bought some Debbie Bliss Rialto too though mine is cream and I'm doing a crochet project with it. I have to confess I think I prefer knitting though. x
