Ripple-y progress

A quiet blog is a sign of one of two things: either I'm away on holiday or I'm stupidly busy. Last week it was the busy one. I definitely went back to work with a bang. Hopefully things will calm a bit now...

Within the chaos, I've still been taking time to crochet - it's like having enforced relax time. I find that I don't sleep well if I've been busy working late, so no matter how late it is I have to make sure I do a quiet, calming activity before heading to bed.

Crochet is brilliant at this. I've been doing it everywhere...

In the car...


On a train...


Sat in my living room...

On another train...

Sat in the sunshine...

And it's growing! Look at those beautiful colors. So fun to watch something come along.

I love to crochet and knit, too and used to do cross stitch lots... but the hands need a break every hour or so or I get cramped up. Does that happen to you?

With crochet, it's usually that my fingers get sore from holding the hook, and from such small repeated movements. However, it's getting better - I used to stop after half an hour but can now do and hour+ (if I have a whole hour to myself!).

That is turning out so beautiful! I love crochet blankets. We had several when I was growing up and they always seemed so warm.
