At The Mo'...

    Hello! Yes, I’m still here! Just when you thought it was safe…😈

Firstly I want to say a big Thank You to Lucy from Attic 24 for being the first person to comment on my blog! I must say I do feel quite honoured! And taking the advice she posted, this is just a quickie!

My Father has made me another Tunisian Crochet Hook and this time it’s a large one. Have I not mentioned that he can make these? I shall have to show you some time, he’s very good at it. Here’s a pic of a sample of Simple Stitch I’ve made up using some Super Chunky from Poundstretcher. I love this colour!


I’ve also come up with a square but I haven’t decided on the colour sequence yet, some more tinkering is needed. Hopefully it will look alright though. I was going to share a picture of the square taken when I was trying it out to see if the idea worked, but the colour I’ve used doesn’t photograph well and it’s just a blur of orange-iness. It probably already exists somewhere on the web, but having come up with it without a load of searching I am quite proud of it.

The belated Birthday present is now a belated Father’s Day present thanks to the hot weather and my sweaty palms, and I’ve got a feeling that I’m going to have to remake the tail. I’ll pin it together and see what I think. I’m not sure I’m going to like it whatever I do to it so who knows if it will ever get gifted.😟

Ta-ra!

Blotober - Post 2!

    You would think that with it being a Sunday, I would have had plenty of opportunities to post my intended Blogtober post. But no. I haven't even touched a computer today until now because there always seemed to be something else to do! And I don't suppose any of it was particularly important. Ever have days like that?     So instead of that post I'm going to do a Sunday Waffle. A quick ramble about the day and anything else that pops into the noggin as I type. Minus the swear words. Probably.       It was pretty grim when I got up, it looked like it had rained🌧️ all night, but the sun soon came out☀️ and it was bright till about early afternoon when the clouds started gathering. Somewhere across the road someone had lit a garden fire, smoke blowing up the road so at least this time we didn't get the stink of it.🔥     We did have a fab dinner at lunch time! Rib Bones in a sticky Chinese sauce served with mash, peas and carrots. Golly it was yummers!!😋 😋I haven

     Hello! I'd like to start by asking a few questions to those of you who have been using silicon-handled hooks longer than I have.     In the last few days I have notice that the hook I'm using most has developed a weird ickieness to the handle. It's not sticky or rough, just not right. My others don't feel like this. I even washed it the other day and if anything it made it slightly worse.      Could this be a reaction to the hand-cream I use in the evening to lessen the roughness of my fingers? Is there a way of fixing the issue, and is there a best way of storing and caring for this style of hook? Comments and solutions would be most appreciated.😀     I finished reading "The Tears Of The Salamander" Monday night, and tonight I will start reading something else. I'm just not sure what yet, it may end up a point and grab situation. Whatever it is I probably won't have read it before and I'll let you know what I choose.      Yesterday I mentio

     I'll be honest, things are not great here at the mo'.       Quite apart from the fact that these last few hot weeks have turned my hands and fingers into wet and clammy nightmares, we've all had Covid. Yeah, after all this time, we finally get the bloody thing. The daft thing is my parents have been getting their boosters - the last one not long ago - whereas I haven't had one since the end of... 2021?, and if anything I fared better and have gotten over it quicker than they have! That's not to say any of us are exactly "right" at all: Mother still sounds like she has a cold, but doesn't, Father still has an awful bloody cough which is driving us all mad, and we're all still quite tired and head-achey.      And then there's the "other stuff" which I'm loath to go into because there really isn't much chance of any of that changing any time soon, if ever, and you never know who might end up reading all this. Plus I know you
