In celebration of her freedom to do so M finally got round to dyeing her hair pink. She was waiting until after the Youth Musical Theatre group did their performance so that she didn't look too outrageous on stage. She doesn't relish being photographed but luckily for me she does still relish the occasional cuddle. It's only semi-permanent and she's thinking of turquoise next. Having had a lull for...

I went on a 'Knitting with wire' workshop yesterday. First we knitted a wire bracelet with beads. Th boring bit was threading all the beads on first. I now know why I add beads with a crochet hook as I go when I add beads to lace. With wire that technique is impossible apparently. We ended up with a wide cuff bracelet.

Honeymoon Blanket, Número Dos was my first attempt at something gender-neutral for the babies of these lovely ladies. After reading your comments, I agree that it's not as girly as I originally...

I said I wouldn't..........but I did! A sale here meant I bought this: But at 79p a ball it was well worth it. This crochet blanket is in the same yarn and is so snuggly and warm that I'm going to make a bigger version for John for when he watches TV late in the evening.
