I think I am going to donate this one to the Knit and Natter group - there's a raffle in aid of charity. I've won something a couple of times and would like to give back. We're all ladies in this group, many of whom are older than I, so a lap blanket should be a useful prize.
I love turning my stash/bits and bobs into something useful and attractive.
I've been slowly working through my list of Things To Do. I popped over to Beth's yesterday bearing loaf, crumpets and focaccia (she was very pleased) and stayed for an hour to have a chat. I missed Fred so much - he would have been purring on my lap within minutes.
Today looks much the same apart from seeing Beth. I shall work slowly through my list and see how far I get. There's only one definite - Alex's birthday is on Thursday, Beth is doing an afternoon tea and I am making some Not-sausage rolls. It's a family tradition to have them for out family celebrations. I have pretty much everything I need, even some home made rough puff pastry in the freezer and loads and loads of bread for the breadcrumbs, so it will be very straightforward.
This is the recipe: they are so delicious.
Have a lovely Sunday, everyone. Stay warm and be happy. xx

ReplyDeleteThganks very much, Debbie. I will Google these. xx
DeleteWhat a lovely blanket! I looked and looked at all 36 but can't find any repeated squares, so clever! Good idea to put it into the KN raffle, somebody will be very happy!
ReplyDeleteNo, there aren't. If you use three colours at a time, you can get six different versions, then if you swap out/in just one colour, it is a new colourway and you can get six different versions - and so it goes on . . . it's rather like those problem solving lessons I used to do with my Y1s. How many different ways can you . . . etc.
DeleteI have loads and loads and they are all different. < smug smile > xx
I meant to ask, how is Peter?
ReplyDeleteBeth said rather subdued at the moment. He is missing Fred - they all are. But health wise, he is fine, thanks. xx
DeleteThe not-sausage rolls look very tasty - no wonder they're a favourite.
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely and they are mush easier to make than they sound. We have had them at family celebrations for decades now. xx
DeleteThe blanket looks so lovely.
ReplyDeleteI saved that recipe. It looks yummy
Thank you and, yes, the not-sausage rolls are so delicious. xx
DeleteYour lap blankets are such a lovely way to use up crochet square stashes. I'm sure that whoever receives one of your blankets will be very happy and cosy.
ReplyDeleteThat would be great, wouldn't it? xx
