Poor me. I am having such a blah day. No reason really, 'cept I'm feeling on the sluggish, fat side and I turn 38 next week which is really not that far away from 40. Poor me. Play the violins. I should probably not have eaten the entire wee tub of chocolate covered proper fresh raspberries that I bought home from Tassie with me. Or the marshmallow chocolate snowballs from the chocolate factory.
Something that always makes me feel better is to pleasantly waste the day away on Pinterest looking at pretty things.
I came across this pretty thing recently and knew straight away it would be perfect for my brother's as yet unborn baby of no known sex!
I loved the greys, the yellow and the black in it and am shamelessly copying the beautiful colour palette that Vicki has produced in this blanket.
The pattern is called Sunny Spread and is really simple to follow and looks amazing as a finished square. It has this quite funky stitch called a front post treble crochet where you make your treble behind a previous stitch which then creates the ridges you see on the square! Very fancy!
Has anyone ever actually tried crocheting with black wool?! Well nigh impossible! Wear glasses! And have a good light right behind you! And squint!
So far I have only done the border on one circle just to see what she looks like and I think it's marvellous! It may need blocking though as they all have a tendency to curl up on themselves.
I hear you on the black front, blah, hope today is a better day.
