Monday

Good morning, lovely people.  Welcome to Monday and a new week.  And it isn't raining or cold which is a great start!

I got my loaves done and I was right, the sourdough was way too sticky and I ended up using loaf tins.  Right at the end of the recipe, I had written 'try less water' but didn't write that in the ingredients list.  I have now!  I've finished the blanket.  After all those doubts, I am really very happy with the outcome and it's my cosy snuggle of choice at the moment.

In the afternoon, I popped round to Beth's to take her loaf and we had coffee and a good old chat about Christmas which was really nice.

And today, after circuits, I though Diane was coming here but, in fact, I am going to hers so that will be really nice.

As Joanna mentioned in comments, Anita (who created the Quiet Skies blanket) has a book new out.  It was supposed to arrive last Thursday but was delayed until today.  No idea why.

I may fit in a bit of housework but the chances are I won't!!  After all, I will have a new crochet book to be inspired by, won't I?

Have a lovely Monday, everyone.  Take care and see you tomorrow.  xx

  1. I read somewhere that the crochet terms are in American, apparently Anita had to make the decision whether to use English or American and as the American market is much larger she used their terminology. So, happy converting! ;-) xx

    1. Yes, she said in her Facebook group. I'm used to both ways so no worries but I think it has bothered some people. I find once I'm into it, either way just comes naturally really. As long as one knows which terms the pattern uses. xx

  2. No housework if there is a book to read! Just done a biggish shop and have it all packed away now. This should last us for a couple of weeks apart from buying fresh veg and fruit. Catriona
