Gifts of Friendship

Recently I had a very pleasant morning with a very close friend whom I had not seen for many months; not for want of trying, but due to hectic events, immovable commitments, and new schedules which refused to allow us a time of mutual convenience to meet!

Two New Tea Towel Designs

"Blue Leafy Triangles"
(my own design)

"Bakery Trellis"
(my own design)

May I present completed 

tea towel tops 'two-by-two', 

both of my own design.

Here they are in their

 natural habitats.

Liebster Blog Award

Well, that's a lovely surprise compliment – a nomination for the Liebster Blog Award and I am delighted to accept!

Oh No!

The seam split at the wrist!

I put my arm into my sleeve and the seam split right open!

Dismay! 

Access All Areas: International Access Symbol

My crocheted access symbol
with a white crab stitch border

This is the International Symbol for Access for people with disabilities; all disabilities whether visible or invisible; not just for people who use wheelchairs.

This symbol is no stranger to controversy and it has made the news again this year because it is undergoing a transformation, sparking renewed debate.

Strangely, the International Access Symbol has something in common with 'yarnbombing'; i.e. a guerilla movement has taken it to heart.

Meditative or … boring?

The ribbing on the Belcarra Cardigan seems to be taking forever to complete.

It is simple crochet ribbing–working evenly, 14 stitches per row, the same row over and over–very meditative … or dare I say boring?

Ripping Ribbing on Belcarra Cardigan

Look how far I have come with the ribbing on the Belcarra Cardigan!

It's really ripping!
