no blog

sorry about no blogging   hubby in hospital after complications of a hernia operation , thankfully came home last night 9pm, never seen bruising like it  OUCH!
But in case you are wondering what I have been up to    well I went to JOLIES  best knitting shop in UK   and learnt  to crochet   Knitting is not one of my best talents by any means  so thought I'd try crochet  well the first square took me 11 hours   but did not give in and I now have managed to make  12 squares  and it is going to be a small blanket for my cute little rescue dog Lil  I shall take it back to Jolies this Tuesday  and learn the edgings and putting together.  I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION  THIS WILL NOT BE REPLACING QUILTING................NEVER

  1. well done on the crochet, i can knit ok but never mastered crochet. Lil will be nice and cosy now, through Winter.
    wish Hubby a speedy recovery.

  2. I'm not surprised you've not been blogging, you've had far more important things to think about. I do hope your husband is on the mend - and not too demanding! Your crochet squares look great, and your little dog will love the blanket I'm sure. My cat gets all my trial and error quilts.

  3. Thanks girlies , I did managed to layer the Willow quilt I am making for a xmas present I was so NOT looking forward to it, but the Angels looked down on me and it went without a hitch, now I have to roller cut out all those 3" squares for the prarie points edging
    I am useless at working out how many I need to cut out, and I am always about 20 or so short and I want to scream then as I've proabably run out of the right fabric
