Wednesday Sunsets

It is supposed to be Wooleater Wednesday but Wooleater Sunday is working better for me.
So tranquil sunsets on a Wednesday are just the right medicine.
Another hump day over, and a downhill run into the weekend. Bring it on!

WoolEater Update

I am just a few clusters short of 15 bands of colour. That is 30 rounds.



It is getting more and more awkward to photograph!




But still a long way to go until it is the 'right' size.




I really love working on this project, I love that it is for Miss Paradise, and that she is so happy with how it is coming along.
But, this is ALL I am working on.

So what do you do?
When working on a long term project do you have some breaks in between and work on something smaller - some thing that will give some instant gratification? Right now I just feel it is so long to go until I will be done. But I also feel if I put it aside for something else, something smaller then am I wasting time I could be spending on this.

the definition of irony....

my least favourite colour in the CAL ........butter........

will be the first colour I run out of!

(not really I have already bought the next round of each colour)

(NB, all colours are really off in the bathroom light - except.... yep... you guessed it.... the butter!)

life on the lake

I know most of my posts are about my wooleater here on the blog, but most of my photos are still of sunset on the lake.

We sure have had some doozy storms of late, but at the end of the day the sun shines through. Jodie

crochet is not a summer sport!

well not in my hot humid corner of the world!
still loving working on this wool eater project. Still not caught up - I am at 12.5 rows and it is approximately 60cm square, should be on 16 rows, with another 3 complete this Wednesday the 15th. Do I sound worried? Nup, I'm not.

Miss Paradise is still lovin' the colours - I am not totally sold on the 'butter', I expected it to blend in a bit more and be less dominate than it is.


We are already planning the accessories I will make to match.....Cushions, bunting, pen holders (crochet covered tins a la lucy) ..... we have already agreed this is her year, and Lil Sis will have next year. But I will start with the small stuff in the summer, and leave the blanket for the cooler months :)

Wool Eater Wednesday

I haven't kept up this week! This week's quota was three rounds, for me that would be light pink, turquoise, butter. I am just about finished the light pink round.





I love how it is looking, I still love this project and working on it.
I have been time poor this week and have been hooking any chance I get.

Here's hoping to a crochet friendly week!
