Dear readers, this is just a quick note to say that I am still crocheting, making things, planning things, buying yarn, adding to my To Hook List and all the other wonderful crochet related things, eventhough I haven’t blogged about crochet much lately.
I’ve completed two of my projects (the Japanese V-neck and the guest blog design) and started work on a project which is based on a square motif that I designed myself. The pattern has even been made into a photo tutorial, but I don’t want to publish it until I have the finished item to show you. (I’m very excited about this project – it’s going to be so pretty!) The only thing stopping me from blogging about my crochet activities, are the photos; I just haven’t got round to taking any.
I’m sure you will understand that Summer in England, birthdays, charity walks and surprise weekends by the beach must take precedent over photo shoots. This weekend I’ll be doing another crochet demonstration at Tudor Williams from 11 am to 1 pm, we are having friends over for a BBQ and I have to do the weekly chores. Maybe I’ll get round to taking photos on Sunday. Then again, maybe not.
A blog post without a photo seems wrong, so here is a photo of Molly the giraffe. She lives at London Zoo and loves carrots. I met her on Friday. If I was allowed to, I would have hugged her long neck and stroked her nose.
If you’re in the southern hemisphere, I hope you’re enjoying the sunshine and if you’re in the northern hemisphere, I hope you’re warm and cozy indoors – but always with a hook and ball of yarn to hand.

Ummm haven’t you got that last paragraph the wrong way round?
Ah, enjoy your summer! As for us down south…still waiting for a proper winter to arrive…short sleeves during the day. I yearn for some rain and cooler temps now.
I love your giraffe picture, Molly is so cute. Down here in Johannesburg we are having the usual winter days, not to cold, but nice and sunny, and a bit cooler at night, around 2 – 4 degrees at night lately. Have fun and enjoy the summer on your side.
You are having some busy fun! Giraffes are always so fun to look at. I’m fascinated by their skin patterns. Amazing how close you were.
I can’t wait to see your projects, especially that lace vest. It’s so awesome and unique. Is Tudor Williams a hotel? Break a leg.
The Tudor Williams demo was cancelled. The store manager had forgotten he booked me, and there was a huge sale on in the store so they couldn’t accommodate me and my table. Oh well, I bought a ball of yarn and had two extra hours to my weekend.
