Hiya, I’m a bit late with this post – again! So late it’s two weeks for the price of one!
It’s not been that exciting I’m afraid – just a super busy couple of week with us traveling down south to see some very dear friends. Then, on my return, I’ve been busily crocheting something which I can’t share with you yet. It’s a very exciting new endeavour which I’m bursting to share with you, but that will have to wait for now I’m afraid. Hopefully in October I can tell you more…
For now though, here’s what I got up to during the last two weeks in my Summer Craft Challenge.
Day 22 : Saturday 14th August
Day 22 of my Summer Craft Challenge saw me back working on another Flora the Gardener ably assisted by my gorgeous Mrs G Makes stitch marker.
Day 23 : Sunday 15th August
My make for Granny Square Day 2021 on Day 23 was this gorgeous square designed by @lovedottycrochet for Simply Crochet Magazine – you’ve got to love a rainbow 🌈 granny square!!
Day 24 : Monday 16th August
Day 24 of my #summercraftchallenge and I was back on the holly leaves again – adding prickles this time! Quite hard in Amigurumi.
Day 25 : Tuesday 17th August
We took a road trip down south to visit some very dear friends, the crochet came with me though… another amigurumi head in the making.
Day 26 : Wednesday 18th August
A couple more amigurumi arms…
Day 27 : Thursday 19th August
Crochet by the pool! Our last morning down south brought the sunshine.
Day 28 : Friday 20th August
Day 28 of my #summercraftchallenge2021 and I put my crochet hook away for a moment to begin something new. Remember that fabric purchase I made at Liberty in London? Well it was a kit to make a EPP (English Paper Piecing) patchwork cushion cover.
I’ve done some EPP before and find it’s easy to pick up and put down if I get bored or need something new to focus on. I’m very much looking forward to getting stuck into this.
Day 29 : Saturday 21st August & Day 30 : Sunday 22nd August
Days 29 & 30 of my #summercraftchallenge2021 were filled with crochet which unfortunately I can’t share with you at the moment – but will do in a couple of months 🤞. But in other news my hexies are very slowly growing in number…
Day 31 : Monday 23rd August
🧶Day 31 of my #summercraftchallenge2021 saw the super exciting arrival of the August Little Box of Crochet – squeeeel!! It’s adorable but I’m not showing you inside incase it spoils the surprise… I think I may have to wait until term begins and I have a quiet house again to give this my full attention, but we’ll have to see if I can last that long… 🧶
Day 32 : Tuesday 24th August
Day 32 and I’m really enjoying all the gorgeous fabrics in this pack from Liberty London ❤️ It’s the perfect little project to have going on the side – when my current crochet pattern is making my brain into mush I can zone out as I stitch a hexie or three.
Day 33 : Wednesday 25th August
Not the most inspiring photo for Day 33 but at least it’s decent daylight for crocheting with black yarn! Crochet on the sidelines at goalkeeping practice… thank goodness it’s not raining! 😃⚽️🧶
Day 34 : Thursday 26th August
There hasn’t been much time for crafting but I fitted in a teeny bit of crochet – I wonder what those red bobbles will be? Red noses, cherries? Ear muffs for a tiny person? You’ll just have to wait & see!
Day 35 : Friday 27th August
Just a little bit of time for some more hexies today.
That’s all there is from me for now. I hope the last 2 weeks have been good for you. Thanks for stopping by!
