wool.....wool....everywhere!


Having decided that I want crochet in my life, I have been collecting wool by DK (double knit) colours....
I have found out that this is a mistake...lol...   but I like the pretty colours!!

There is DK, and there is DK - some feels like straw, and some is babysoft... why? 

I have now managed to find a lady who sells wool, and she does have a huge selection!  I am trying to stick to one make for the moment, while I am still beginning, and this wool is Robyn Double Knit.  The colour range is good, and the texture isn't bad.  Above is a selection of Robyn I got from her the other day.

An absolute beginner....

Good morning...   I have wanted to start a crochet/knitting blog for ages!!  Where does the time go to?
I have been a card maker and scrapbooker for years and years. Then one day I thought to myself  'Pina, your grandmother taught you to crochet, don't waste it', and do you know I LOVE IT!!!

So far I am having a ball....

At the moment I am making granny squares



Aren't the colours just lovely?


must go now and feed my lovely little babies...
