I finished crocheting my cowl. I love it, it's so snuggly and warm. I used Stylecraft Weekender and I can really recommend this yarn, it's gorgeously soft...
I was so happy and surprised this week to see these pretty daisies still growing in the garden. So I picked some to have in the house in a little jar...
Miss M made another really pretty decoration at school this week. I think this one looks like a house covered in sweeties...
I have started another big blanket. This is going to be a gift for a really lovely lady I work with. Hopefully I will have it finished in time for Christmas. I'm using Cath Kidston inspired colours (again!) and the pattern is from Granny Squares by Susan Pinner...
So the weekend is here again and I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing one with my wee family. Wishing you all a really lovely weekend too.

Cowl is beautiful. That looks such a cosy scene with your log burner, mug of tea and all your crochet. Lovely! (I will admit to a bad case of log burner envy!) x
ReplyDeleteThe cowl is a delight, beautiful and perfect for the time of year. Love the look of your granny square book, I must try and get that. The yarn looks amazing, I am a big fan of the Cath Kidston colour palette. You too have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love your cowl Marianne, it's not unlike something I'm currently hooking - what exquisite taste we both have! ;-) How lovely are you to make a blanket for your work friend? What a lucky lady. Enjoy your weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely cowl in a beuatiful colour. I've just started making an Attic24 blanket using one of her Stylecraft packs and am really liking the yarn so far, so it's interesting to know the other ranges (?) are good too. Your friend is one lucky lady but then so is she to have such a lovely friend in you. Have a great weekend. x
ReplyDeleteThat cowl looks so snuggly and just perfect for the weather as it is right now. Cant wait to see your blanket and that last snap looks just gorgeously cosy and relaxing. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe cowl is gorgeous! And that decoration is so cute, it reminds me of a fairytale house :) Looking forward to seeing the blanket in progress! x
ReplyDeleteWow you have been a busy bee! You are girlie! X
ReplyDeleteGood grief - you are going to finish a blanket in time for Christmas! I wish I could be as motivated - I'm hoping to have completed a pair of wrist warmers! Lovely cowl Marianne - I haven't tried the Stylecraft Weekender range before but it looks ever so snuggly. Have a Lovely weekend x Jane
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures. They look like pink marshmallows ... I love those or maybe Turkish Delight. A delight anyway. Thank you x
ReplyDeleteLovely colours. What a gorgeous decoration. Jo x
ReplyDeleteGreat cowl, great decoration by your Little Miss, great book by Sue and have a great weekend.

Ooh those colours for your latest blanket are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous cowl Marianne - I made some scarves very similar to this last year, but I absolutely love it as a cowl. Was the pattern one that you put together yourself ?

I just love your cowl, Marianne. It suits your complexion so well and I can imagine it must match a lot of your clothes too, from what I have seen of them!
ReplyDeleteI love your cowl!!! Looking forward to seeing what your new project is! xx
