Crafy Devil
It’s been a long wait but I’m finally back into stitching! I’ve been working on another Oriental Butterfly. I don’t know if any of your remember the other one I worked on a few years ago.
I’ve still not had that one framed, so I am hoping that once I have the pair finished I can get them framed together.
Chris and I are moving to Carluke in September. I’m really looking forward to it, a wee life in the country lol. I do want to get so much more of my crafts done. I want to master DPNs for my knitting, scarves are getting boring haha. I’ve also picked up a book of rather funky but beginners crochet designs. I randomly picked up a crochet hook when I bought a bunch of knitting supplies on ebay, so I figured it’s as good as reason as any to get to learn that too.
I find knitting quite a challenge with 2 needles so the idea of making things using crochet and only one needle is just beyond me. But first of all, DPNs. I did attempt it once but got all confuzzled. I have looked at many many tutorials and they are all as baffling as each other. I need to find someone who can knit and get them to physically show me I think.
My last day at Bravissimo is 1 week today, the day after that I go on holiday to Marbella for a week and then it’s back to organise moving house! I hate moving house, I’ve done it far too often, but this time I’m not on my own. You’d think that would half the stress for me but no, I still seem to keep it all to myself, Chris is very chilled about it all. I’m glad someone is
