I love a challenge!!!

The other day I blogged that I'd bought a new book and that one of the patterns took my attention. Well Joy from blog JoyJinks Creations challenged me to make it.

So I got up early this morning and made a start. For once the sun was shining (you can see my shadow on the photo), so I was able to work outside.


Worked for 90 minutes and then had to do some work. Wish I could craft all day but there are some jobs that have to be done.


By the time I came back the sun had gone shy and had disappeared behind a thick layer of cloud.

But here it is and I know it looks nothing like the picture in the book.

My cafetiere is a lot smaller, only one cup, and I improvised with dropped trebles and bobbles. I'm looking forward to breakfast tomorrow.

Thank you Joy.

    1. Oh no, I've done it again - I've sent a message to myself instead of you. I'll get to grips with this technology some day.

  2. Thank you. Wish I had a better camera. I taught myself to crochet with a friend when I was 9, so that's ............. 43 years. Crikey, doesn't time fly.

  3. AHAH! Well done S - it's so bright and cheery and I love the bobbles - you are going to love pouring your morning cuppas from this. So you're one to take up a challenge then - ohhhh, dangerous, watch out!!! What's next?
    Have yourself a great day and thanks for bringing me a bright happy smile this morning!

    1. Thank you Joy. What can I challenge you too? By the way I am still working on the parrot pattern, but I've managed to get a job teaching crochet and other crafts for my local adult education centre. This means I have been busy writing lesson plans and schemes of work. But once they are done, it's full speed ahead on the pattern.

  5. Thank you. Once I get started on a project I often am so focused, and this was a challenge. Sometimes I scare myself on how competitive I can be.
