Granny Square Day '23 Project Update.

-

    Well, I'm sure none of you will be surprised to learn that I did not get my GSD project finished. I haven't been able to spend as much time on it as I originally thought I would, and I think I underestimated all the work required to finish it anyway. I think I may have gotten a bit further with it if I had become more acquainted with the Square's pattern before hand, but I didn't, and I do have to say there were a few false starts! I was hoping to just be able to get it done, it's technically not difficult, but I didn't consider all the decisions that would have to be made.


    My original idea was to go down the random colour-round method, but what I'm making is too small for that to work. For a blanket or coat - maybe, but I'm making a cushion (ooh sorry, Spoiler!) and I've realized that I need more thought and pattern to make the project work.

    So here's where I'm at;

        ...and I'm not even sure I'm going to use those other three centres.


    The squares pictured, I really love, and I'm now planning to make more of them to create the pattern I want. They are also not quite finished yet - there's more of the pattern to follow, but I'll tell you more about that in the Ta-Dah post. Yes, there will be one!


     I've got another project on the go at the mo' which should  be finished soon, and I'm really quite excited to tell you about that, and now that we're back in another heatwave I may concentrate more on that  as it's not as stressful or warm as this one has become!

    Till next time!👋😊

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
