I crochet therefore I am


Good saturday sunny morning! Oooooh it's sunny, I have had a fabulous restful night's sleep and I am filled with the joy's of spring today.

I also started something new, something simple, something that any granny would approve of...


Ode to the granny square and all her simple therapeutic goodness!


All made from this yarn and a 4mm hook


The brown is 50% wool found in Lidl yesterday (6 x 50g for £3.99) and the Freedom Spirit bought in C & H fabrics last Saturday, 100% wool (1 x 50g at £4.55 per ball)
I love it!


Thank you God for simple things xox


Wishing you all a free spirited weekend xox

  6. Oooooooooooohhh! I LOVE that wool! We even get it here at the shop I do my crochet classes in!! I haven't seen THAT lovely colour though! It is so soft and delicious! My friend knitted a jersey from it in the orange and it turns out all stripey and fantastic, I'm dying to knit the colours I've got into something special!

    Have a happy hopefully sunshiney weekend!!

  13. Beautiful grannies. I am hooking some as well. I can hook two during tumbling lessons and three or four during cheer practice. Waiting for kids is far more fun with something to keep my hands busy. ~Kelly (un)Deniably Domestic!
