Everything's Growing

Including our sunflowers, which are getting nice and straight and tall (must take a pic next week).

I'm really pleased with a throw I've started. It's the first time I've been asked to crochet something by someone else (besides my children), so I'm really happy... and nervous that it'll turn out OK. My friend is preparing to start fostering and wants a throw the children can keep on the bed and use when it gets chilly.



I'm using lots of bright colours, though I don't think it shows very well on the photo, the purple looks black and the mauve looks grey!


I've tried some new stitches I haven't tried before, it's so rewarding watching it grow.



A little puppy popped into this picture!


That nicely brings me to how quickly the puppies are growing. When they were born, the lilac pup was almost half the size of the other 2, I think she may be the biggest now!





Their eyes are open now, so not long before the havoc starts and we all become on permanent poop scoop duty!

Take care

  18. That's going to be a lovely blanket, I really like the pattern. Lots of variation and interest. And how cute are those puppies! x

  19. Those puppies are such sweeties and so tiny. Gorgeous!!!

    Thats a very good start to that blanket and mixing in lots of different patterns will make it more interesting for you and means you'll learn lots of new stitches at the same time. Those colours also make it lovely and bright.

    keep well
