I Love Colourful Crochet

-

I like making crocheted blankets and have a couple (ok, I have about 4 if you're counting) of my own. When I discovered Middle Daughter would like one I couldn't wait to get started on another. :)




I wouldn't have minded keeping it for myself. It does match the duvet cover quite well doesn't it?


The fringing is the part I least enjoy, it's very fiddly trying to get all the strands the same size.


 So I gave it a haircut!


Now that my stock of colourful yarn is very much depleted I need to go out and buy some more for my next project.YaY!

What a gorgeous blanket and such joyful colours. No wonder you wanted to keep it. I don't think I would have had to patience to add fringing.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
