Thank you for a lovely weekend Archie! Next time we see Archie he'll have lost his sweet little barrel belly, his wiggly wonky gait and trusting demeanour. He'll probably be fully grown, a little wary of strangers but probably still stealing shoes and handbags and dragging them back to his bed!
I've no idea how hot it was here today but it was like a summer's day. I put three loads of washing through and got two pegged out (including the dog's furry friend) when Harvey alerted me to the door.
My blanket yarn had arrived! The perfect excuse to sit on the deck and crochet the day away! It did feel slightly mad handling aran wool in the heat but at least they are only small pieces at a time. I'm not joining as I go because I want a complete line of stitching along each side as opposed to just a couple of loops.
I'm so pleased with the colours, especially the slate blue which really made me feel like I was creating a beach from wool. I had my handful of pebbles nearby...
I was on my sixth hexagon when distaster struck! A catastrophe that only Mr H could solve when he came home from work...
Note to crocheters with decking... beware of the cracks! Luckily Mr H never minds using his smart new power drill thingy; just as well because he unscrewed the wrong plank to begin with. I had to use my nicest smile and say with an innocent look, 'oh gosh, I could have sworn it was that spot, it must have bounced or rolled!' That's when I decided to add a new tool to my crochet bag...
A shiny, aluminium, orange torch to match my shiny, aluminium, elusive, orange, 6mm crochet hook. Handy for searching under sofa's too!
Such a cute puppy! I love your colour choices and little hexies - very pretty!
