intense concentration



Not only is one of our cats fascinated by fabric, he also seems to be developing a love of crochet too.  I think I might just have to teach him one of these days...

    Have a fab weekend hon. Fingers crossed we get some sunshine again!

On the importance of blocking

Image
I started this scarf on a road trip around the South Island of New Zealand with my parents and brother this Christmas.  Though I was doing most of the driving, I knew there would be quite a bit of quiet downtime and wanted to bring a bright, colourful project along with me that was also portable. I finished the crocheting a few weeks ago but took ages to sew in the ends and block it.  This was the first time I've blocked something and am really delighted with how professional the results look.  My trusty iron and ironing board, an old towel (not sure why I couldn't use a good one - or if I should but it was a case of better safe than sorry), sewing pins and a spray bottle.  The image below is the pre-blocked scarf.  Really quite wobby and the final three images are my rather professional looking end product!

We had a fun afternoon tracking down the colour of the house paint.  As it turns out, its Wattyl's Flemish Blue (Deep Base, Solagard, B 144.0, E 280.0, V84.0, KX 144.0).  I love this colour and need to think about sheen's for when we get the house repainted next year.  For now we just went with the closest to the tin we already had.  One side of the house is done and we've painted a first coat of the blue. We've also had scaffolding up for a while.  Its been hard to get in and out of the house with it though - this is our entrance walkway. This is the other side of the house after a day's work removing the weatherboards.  There's a lot more work requ...
