Easter snapshots

 
 


 


 

Easter. Holidaying on the beautiful British south coast, this is East Wittering beach on a gorgeous sunny morning. The boys loved running at and from the sea, collecting stones - we have a big pile outside the front door - and eating fish and chips (me too).

My current crocheting - this is a blanket from an issue of Mollie Makes. Using up all the odds and ends of double knitting in my stash.

And my current reading pile - feel this sums me up rather nicely! Sewing, crocheting, eating and music.

This week I also started Zombies, run!. It's similar to the NHS Couch to 5k programme which I previously completed last year, but returned to sitting on the sofa afterwards. This one trains you up to run from zombies and incorporates your own music, which I love. It's very motivating when you hear the zombies groaning in your ear - although I haven't found out yet what happens if they were to catch me....

A colourful patchwork blanket

A square a day for the past twenty days. Bobble stitch, cross stitch, ribbing.

 
Ok. Sometimes more than one square a day. These little devils are ADDICTIVE.


 
 
I like to pile them up in colour or stitch order. And rub my fingers over the delightfully tactile bobble stitch squares.

 
 
They are eventually going to be turned into a patchwork blanket. Initially for a friend, but I can't help falling in love with it. No timescales, just soothing crochet. One a day. At least.

 
 
It's going to look fab draped over the back of my her sofa. Or on the end of my her bed.
 
Do you have a hard time giving your makes away?
