I forgot to say the other day; after I finished the cardigan, I used a random ball of ridiculously chunky yarn that I got from The Range, goodness knows why, and never used, and made this. It needed an hour, a large hook (9.0) and some real tugging and pulling until I got the tension right but it made this. It now sits beside my bed, holding my talc, deodorant and a few other bits and pieces and I'm ridiculously happy with it.
Online SET class was good, the chat with Chris was great, I got the shopping done and now have my month's supply of items for the Food Bank so any extra will be - er - extra!!
I finished all the washing, drying and ironing, did some sorting out and started joining the tiles together. I don't think I'm making a very good job of it and things don't seem to fit (they should do, the counts are right) but not to worry, it will look fine once everything is together and the edging done.

Well, it's done! The money bounced into my bank account and within a couple of hours it had bounced out again and I am now booked for a lovely holiday in Crete in 2026. So exciting.
All I have to do now is save the money! lol
Today looks to be another easy day with a taster session at Slimming World and then nothing in the diary all day. Maybe I will do a bit of housework and certainly I will bake a loaf. Usually I bake on Saturdays but tomorrow I am out for a walk so today it is.
What are your plans for this first Friday in February? Have a good one and stay warm and safe, whatever they are. xx
That little basket is fabulous-those would make lovely gifts for Christmas or birthdays. Well done you! I am hoping to finish the 50th birthday teddy bear today and then do some thinking about which project I will do next. It’s very frosty here this morning so no gardening yet. Catriona
ReplyDeleteLovely hand-crafted basket, you could sell those at a charity sale!
