FNWF results....

 This Friday night saw me working on some more of these crocheted squares and going to spottie today to buy enough wool to start working on the final 2 rounds for each square.....told you I couldn't resist making another one and I think I have enough leftover wool to make a small knee rug for the back of our sofa,something springlike to huddle under on those cold wintry nights ahead.
I also found myself working on this stitchery when my hands started to protest with too much crocheting,it's slowly coming together :)
I'm off to investigate all the other bloggers who participated in this event and try to do a bit more baking as well,beef stew is simmering on the stove top,the cornish pasties are nearly ready to come out of the oven to be replaced with a zuchinni slice and then finally some white chocolate & cranberry biscuits to finish off with.....not much happening with the craft but the baking's getting done to restock the freezer again for when I'm doing a late shift at work :)

Your crochet blanket is going to look gorgeous and your stitchery is very cute. And your baking sounds 'to die for'...I'm just getting back into a bit of cooking after not being bothered for quite a few years...it's very comforting isn't it.

Barb! how could you talk of such mouthwatering food , I'm trying so hard to limit my food intake . It is the muscle at the top of my arm that protests when crocheting . I have the crochet bug badly.

Mistea said...

Lovely - you certainly have those colours sorted.
Funny you should be cooking up a storm as those blanket colours remind me a lot of summer fruits and cream!
Pretty stitches.

I'm sure you crochet in your sleep Barb! All that baking sounds yummy. I've got to bake choc chip cookies today (plus a couple of quiches). It's back to school tomorrow for the boys and they "need" bikkies in their lunches so they tell me!

Those white chocolate and cranberry cookies were DELICIOUS!!! I had some and a cuppa when I visited with Barb on Friday! Much chatting, show & telling, but not any sewing this time! Thanks for a lovely morning Barb.

I am so very happy to have found your blog! I completely understand, like many other likeminded readers, your need to keep your fingers moving! Your blog is an inspiration and I am left wondering why I haven't stumbled across you before. I'm off to follow you now :-)
