Blogtober 2025 : Post 31

    Hello👋😄

    And so here we are! The last day of Blogtober 2025! We got there in the end, although there were moments when I wondered if we would!😳

    It seems like most of these October days have been on the grey and wet side of things and today was no exception, apart from a brief sunnier interlude in the early afternoon.

    I got a better shot of those Rowan leaves🍂:

    And we had even more of the Acer🍁 leaves down on the patio too:



    And, because it was there and I had camera in hand, I took a photo of the Blue Sky:


     We were going to have a chippy at lunchtime but plans were changed, which was a bit of a shame as I quite looking forward to a Battered Sausage or two! Mmmmm, Battered Sausage!😋

    I'm seriously thinking about ordering some yarn from ebay, even if it does work out quite expensive, as it doesn't seem like I shall be going anywhere to buy any. There's no guarantee the shop will have what I want anyway. Hobbycraft does sell some of the range I'm interested in, but not the particular colourway I want, which is why I didn't order any the other day.

    Hopefully I'll have another project finished by the end of the weekend and then, until I can get hold of some new yarn, I will probably start looking at the Christmas🎄 Projects I'm thinking of doing.

    Oh well, that's me done!😌

Till next time👋😀

     Hello, hello!👋😀      Well yes, it has been a while, but I am going to try this blogging lark again! I don't know what happened earlier in the year. I think I just realised that blogging was a time consuming activity that I really didn't have time for. Has anything changed now? No, but I'm going to try and be more relaxed about it all and not be so wordy. I do tend to go on a bit!🙄      So when better to start than Blogtober ?😲 Yes, I am a little nuts but, hey-ho someone's got to be!      I've got a few things to show you from earlier in the year and a few things on the hook to share and even possibly complete before the end of the month. Ooooh, the anticipation!😅      So, wish me luck and tune in for whatever I put up each day. I'll probably surprise myself more than I do you but, maybe that's the point? Till tomorrow then, Goodbye!👋😀    Happy Autumn folks!

    Hello!👋😀      It's day three of Blogtober 2025 and I'm back! I'm as surprised as you are!      So here's the next project I worked on back in the early part of the year - a Sideways Tunisian Crochet Bobble Hat ! Yes, it is quite big. But at least it's warm!     I'd had this idea in my head for quite a while but didn't have the nerve to try it until January.     I first made a Sideways Bobble Hat when I was a knitter, from a well explained free pattern, worked in Garter Stitch , from WoolyWormhead . I only ever made two - a big one and a small one, but since becoming a Crocheter - and especially after learning Tunisian Crochet - I have often wondered if I could make a crocheted version, using the knitting pattern as a guide.     And as it turns out, I could!😀 And it's not too shabby either!     The main yarn is King Cole Big Value Chunky in the colour Bluegrass . The contra...

     Hello!👋😀      The early part of the year turned out to be quite productive really, by my usual standards anyway!      The first thing I made was Super Chunky Scarf for my Father. I wasn't sure if he was going to wear it because to be honest, I thought I'd made it too big. And I'm not going to say it's my best work because it isn't, but as I'm not used to working with this weight of yarn I think I've done as well as I could have.     I started it on the 3rd of January and finished it on the 18th of January, working on it in the evening for no more than 2 hours, and mostly just one, so it's possibly one of my quickest makes ever!     I've used a 12mm Bamboo hook and a "new to me" stitch - the Camel Stitch . I do quite like it but I'm wondering if it's a stitch that looks better worked in a thinner yarn.     The Blue and Grey yarn is Hayfield Bonus Super Chunky and the Purple is fr...
