    I was asked by the very talented Sarah over at @as I was asked by the very talented Sarah over at @asyetyarns (go check out her beautiful yarns!) #widn so here we are! I'm adding a few more rounds to my Henry's Voyage blanket 💙🌊
I'm using @scheepjes Catona and a 3mm hook and I just love how it's working up! 
Would @erika.and.crow and @hannahscrochetmakes like to play? No pressure of course!

    Here's some progress on my other holiday project 😄 This is my sock kit from @germandercc using Hanna's fab sock pattern. I'm so excited to get to the heel as she has a very different construction lined up to the one I am used to! This one is also perfect for beginners, so have a look!

    Holiday flat lay 😜💚 Here's the first set of Holiday flat lay 😜💚 Here's the first set of tiles for the beautiful Azul pattern by @tinnahekl 💚 I'm making the medium size but in my favourite @scheepjes Sugar Rush thread 🌊 Love how dinky they are coming out!

I'm almost done with the Thursday Murder Club too and it's such an easy read - no spoilers! Crochet, books and crisps, what more do you need to relax? 😌

I've finished another motif on my Ocean Deep project, which is a full cover piece from @carolynmanningdesigns 🌊
If you haven't seen Carolyn's patterns before, do check them out. There's such a lovely selection of different styles and colours.

I love the watery tones of this chart and as we are off on our holiday soon, it will be perfect to take along! Hope you're all keeping cool!

    It's a bit of a place holder 😜 So I'm definitel It's a bit of a place holder 😜 So I'm definitely biting off more than I can chew here, but I have a dozen balls of this beautiful copper from @stylecraftyarns and my needles at the ready! I'm going to attempt the Kote Cardigan and to say it will be a learning curve is an understatement 🙊 Heavily cabled, a cool construction and double knitting to just name a few techniques, but if I can do this, I think it will really level up my knitting!

It's still a bit muggy here, so I'm enjoying using my cotton Sugar Rush thread 💙 I've just finished 624 backpost single crochets with a 1.5mm hook though, so I might need a coffee 😜 I really love how this is working up, it's going to become a wall hanging when I'm finished and doesn't it just whisper calm 😌💙

    I'm sort of still here 😜 So my Instagram looks I'm sort of still here 😜 So my Instagram looks quite normal again, have I missed something? I haven't fiddled with any settings, but let's hope it lasts! Anyway, I remembered that I hadn't shared my finished very pink socks! This yarn is so difficult to capture, but it's one of my all time faves 💗 It's called Jelly Tot Pop and from the fabulous Sam over at @blackstagyarn 💜 If you've not tried Sam's yarn yet, please do, because they are so lovely to use! (Nothing affiliated here, just a happy customer) This colour glows, it's pretty much neon and has purple flecks through it. The pattern is @winwickmum 's basic 4ply socks and also a favourite of mine 💜

    This 'new' Instagram feed isn't too great is it? I This 'new' Instagram feed isn't too great is it? I want pictures, not videos and I want to see who I follow instead of suggested accounts in  which I have no interest. Ugh. Anyway, moaning over and I wanted to show a new start (well, unless you saw this on Twitter already 😜) 

This is Ocean Deep by @carolynmanningdesigns using the charted DMC floss on 18 count aida and I am having such a fun time stitching this. It's inspired by a quilt top and has a lovely mix of colour blocks and more intricate motifs. There are so many to choose from, but the colours in this one were right up my street 💙💜💚 

As the weather is getting warmer, I am leaning more towards stitching and trying not to start all the things!
