One A Day Update March 30, 2012
Well, it’s been a while since I had a one a day post. But there’s a new thread on Ravelry in the One A Day forum so I thought it would be an idea to give a quick update.
My Blanket Statement is now almost finished – I’m on to the final round of the border, so it should hopefully be completed over the weekend.
On the Bernat Mystery Afghan CAL we have a catch-up week at last so with any luck by next Wednesday I should be up to speed with that too. Although my children break up from school today for Easter holidays so there won’t be much crochet time available! There are a whole lot of things going on over the holidays – my daughter’s 13th birthday(!!), a visit to my Mother-in-law, and my eldest son singing in ‘Worldsong!’ at the Royal Albert Hall – so there may not be much crafty time at all!
I have also started another new project, inspired by the film ‘Bright Star’. About the poet John Keats and his romance with Fanny Brawne, it is a truly beautiful film, and has oodles of the most gorgeous crochet!! Short cardigans made from teeny tiny motifs which are completely spectacular. So I felt I had to give it a try. I found this yarn in a bargain bucket, only one ball so I’ll be looking for a lot more if it works out. The yarn is Patons Mirage and I started with a 3.5mm hook, making tiny little squares and joining as I go. It’s more like a belt than a cardigan right now but I’m enjoying trying it out.

And then just in case that’s not enough, I thought I’d make these egg cosies for the children for Easter!

I love Mollie Makes! It’s great for ideas and inspiration. I just have to keep it hidden until I’ve read it first otherwise my daughter steals it away to her room!
That’s about it except to say the Square Swap is still ongoing and I’m receiving some fabulous creations from all over the world – such fun!
Happy Friday xx
