I won't be using this again!!

This is after two days stretched out on the spare bed.  10 mins on a dry cool tumble. 10 mins on a dry warm tumble. 10 mins with a damp cloth warm tumble tumble.

What else can I try? Any suggestions?

All arriving at the same time!!

I've been keeping my poor postie busy!! All of my purchases seem to have arrived at the same time. As you know my batting came on Monday afternoon. I unwrapped that and laid it on the spare bed to rest. Maybe I'll feel up to layering tomorrow. Let me see, my extra black and white charms are here and the extra blue yarn for my crochet project. Last week I got a knittng magazine and ordered yarn for another project and today I got another knitting magazine. That just leaves two packages outstanding. A quilting template and........ yep, more yarn! LOL

I seem to have gotten myself another virus, I'm not so ill that I have to stay off work, but definitely not firing on all cylinders. So what could be better than curling up on the sofa with a new knitting project. A lovely sleeveless cardigan from the March Lets knit magazine. If anyone has this magazine and fancies doing this one. There is an error in the yarn amounts. Read 12 X 100g balls. Not 6 x 50g Huge difference!

It's the end of the financial year at the end of this month, and as usual I had just a couple of hours of annual leave to squeeze in. So I took em today and now I'm home early and off to play with some yarn. I just need to decide which project.

Progress

 So yesterday I made progress on three projects. I finished making the back for my Charming hearts quilt. I had planned to use more slices of layer cake, but in the end took the lazy option of using a whole piece of figgy fabric. I had to stop there on this project, to wait for a piece of batting.

So then after a quick cuppa I got stuck into the black, white and grey fabrics I showed off back here. (Scroll down a bit). I had three packs of charms and decided that wouldn't be enough, so stopped here to await the arrival of more.

Another pause for lunch and I got stuck into my crochet again.  My batting was delivered late yesterday afternoon, but I had one of those awful sleepless nights last night and I really don't think trying to quilt is such a good idea today.

Slow progress

Here's a peep at the colours I'm using for my crochet blanket. I'm a sucker for blue and white. :-)

As the post title suggests, this one is going to be a long term project.

The foundation chain was 300 stitches, that means 100 of those (UK) triple clusters, which means about an hour per row, or two hours per colour!! 

Oh! And I need to go shopping, I did buy plenty of this yarn, but didn't realise what I would be making when I made the original purchase. Hehehe.

No hooky fun for me today, I'm off to play with my sewing machine.
