spring is round the corner......

I feel, don't you?.....longer days, bluer skies and the odd spots of colour here and there in the garden.

I saw a recent post on the Attic24 blog for a gorgeous wrap and quickly picked up hook and started producing these wonderful little flowers. Lucy at said blog  is one of the most generous bloggers I have come across when it comes to sharing her passion which is crochet. She has a huge following here in blogland and if you haven't yet come across her, have a peep, you will not be disappointed.

My colours are a little more muted but all the same for this house where white and grey generally rule this is colour with a capital C.

Youngest declared it to be really pretty.... what is it?....a shawl....you don't wear shawls! ...Well I'm getting older and  I need a shawl sometimes......You're not going to wear it out are you!!!





I don't feel quite so enthusiastic now............

    It's beautiful. I am seriously addicted to making these flowers as are so many of us. We've started a CAL so please take a look as there are so many lovely flowers on there.

    It is beautiful,I love the colours you've used. I've seen this popping up a lot now and I'm starting to feel the need to get back into some crochet, so have searched my stash for some interesting colours to make something with these flowers.

    I'm still in love with the cushion you sent me. Will blog about it soon but having a blog break, i think it's a small winter dip. I need sunshine AND colour.

I love the pretty colours you've chosen, it's going to be FAB ! By the way, when I got back from my week away, your lovely pot holder was waiting for me. Thank you so much Elsy, it is absolutely perfect, I love it x

    Travel info - I would come into the city from the M1 via the Parkway - main route. Straight into city centre. There are lots and lots of new car parks so parking won't be a problem - even on a Saturday. The Cheese Grater "Q" car park (I think its called Charles Street) is very central for where you need to be - but it will cost you a fair bit for the full day - but it'll be worth it to be in the glorious North for a day!!! The one in the railway station is the same - central, but pricey. There is a cheaper one on a bit of spare ground on Arundel Gate. Hope you have a succesful day. xxxx

    YAY!!! Your flowers are gorgeous! My sister and I have started shawls too. We are using thicker yarn (worsted maybe) and so our flowers are bigger. I really like the size of yours....maybe next time. I'm using the same color scheme. I'm a little skeptical too about how I will look in the shawl, but it's far too pretty not to make it so we'll see when it's done.

    I've just found your blog - it's great! I am tempted to have a go at Lucy's shawl too - yours looks beautiful, ignore what the kids say and keep going!

    Those flowers are so gorgeous - love your colours! And thats just the sort of thing my daughter says to me - I never felt old until my daughter became a teenager and started making that sort of comment :(
    Just keep going and ignore the youngsters - they are behind the times, they just dont get how trendy crochet is again!!! Thats what I tell my daughter!
