Today, I finally managed to take a few photographs of the kittens that were born on Halloween (now known as the Halloween Horrors) without them blurring or just getting a close up of kitten noses. My kittens do not pose nicely, they wiggle and squirm, pounce and scratch. This afternoon, they decided they were old enough to […]

I’ve been working on the Book Blanket. I decided to use pale yellow to edge and join the squares because, well, that was the only colour I had to hand. I’m not one for patience when it comes to starting a project and lacking the capacity to wait for a yarn delivery of a different […]
.I made loads of squares for my granny square book and since then they’ve been neatly piled in a corner of my craft room. They’ve been moved around and resorted over and over again but always end up in a neat pile in the corner. Some have still got their labels on! I thought I’d […]
