Time to Start Over!

Hulloo!!
It's been *wayyyy* too long.
And I'm not really quite sure why.
I have some neck issues, which in turn causes hand issues.
But that's not really an excuse.

And I'm back... and raring to get back in to my little blog.

A simple post today- as the day has turned into night already.
It was an absolutely scorching day compared to how we're used to it being here in the UK- and as such not alot got done.

I did however throw together a new little banner. It's not exactly what I want but will pretty up the place while I think about how I'd really like it.

Yesterday I received this cute little bag of cottony yarny goodness, ordered from Wool Warehouse.
It's Lily "Sugar'n Cream", made of 100% cotton.


I ordered this specifically to try a bit of hyperbolic crochet.
It's always intrigued me, and when I spoke about it to my daughter she seemed quite keen to give it a go too.
This is mine so far...


It'll be a bath scrubbie... A fun funky coloured one. This colour way of the Sugar'n Cream is called "Over the Rainbow". I love it- maybe it's because it makes me think of ice lollies and candy sweets?!

I'm done in for tonight- but I promise to be back soon! :)

Exciting New Stylecraft DK Colour!


I was so excited to read this little snippet of news yesterday that Lucy of Attic24 posted on Facebook....

"Just look at this JUICY new shade of Stylecraft Special DK, isn't it gorgeous? "Lime" will be available to buy in July.
I have to say a special big THANK YOU to Stylecraft Yarns for listening to my over excited requests for a "zesty, zingy lime green, the same colour as my beloved Boden coat, pretty please?!". You made my colour dream come true, thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And this photo she posted...


To say I am stupidly excited would be an understatement!
I love Stylecraft DK yarn, but there has always been a colour missing.... And now at last there will be a little Lime!!!!
