MarmaladeRose. Emma lamb: fabulous crochet. Pink Milk: Crochet. When I'm at home, I have a tendency to mooch between 2pm and 3pm. It's my 'nothing hour' where I am at my least productive. After a busy morning and then a quick lunch, all my 'get up and go' suddenly gets up and goes. I suppose I'm also clock watching until the school run. I wonder if it's a seasonal thing or the natural ebb and flow of daily energy levels? Do you have a 'nothing hour'? Today at 2pm, I decided to pick up my camera and set myself the challenge of finding six things to share with you. Six simple things that are giving me pleasure today. Number 1. That's better. This is the first year I've not picked any. Number 2 is my spring bulbs. I overwintered these mini daffodils in the garage, sort of accidentally, and they're already flowering. See how this little chap is craning his slender neck to reach the shaft of sunlight.
Number 3 is not very photogenic and keeps steaming up my camera lens but is my homemade chicken stock. Oh look. I'm over-thinking it now, aren't I? There. Xxx. The Lazy Hobbyhopper.

Nu mina stackars få bloggläsare som troget följer mig, ska jag försöka ägna min avsomnade blogg lite mer tid och kärlek än vad jag gjort den senaste tiden. Jag rivstartar med att ge er ett mycket efterfrågat mönster på rutor med cirkel i mitten. Satt och pillade med detta mönster förra hösten efter att min bok blivit färdig och därför kom inte mönstret med i boken. Jag gillar denna rutan, inte bara för möjligheter till variation, utan även för enkelheten. Man kan välja på att variera färgerna på cirklarna och hålla grundfärgen som en helhet.
Man kan ju också välja att göra alla cirklar i samma färg och ha samma grundfärg (inget för mig som måste testa nya färger hela tiden), och då blir det ju mycket mer grafisk. Fylld ruta med cirkel i mitten Garn: Mandarin Petit Virknål: 3 mm. Gör 4 lm och slut dem till en ring med 1 sm. Varv 1: 3 lm, virka 12 st med nertag i ringen. Varv 2: 3 lm, [2 st i varje m], uppr [] v runt (24 m). Varv 3: 3 lm, [1 st, 2 st i nästa m], uppr [] v runt (36 m). I'd Rather Be Knooking. Maries Cozy Corner: Free crochet patterns.

I spent about an hour standing in the craft store Saturday staring at a wall of yarn in the coolest muted tones and edgy colors ... a palette I would have murdered for (with my bare hands) years ago.
Seriously. I'm especially impressed with the acrylic selection. Vanna's Choice, Cotton Ease (which also has great labels), and Red Heart Soft are all being made in totally amazing colors. Back in the 90s when I was crocheting ALL THE TIME, there wasn't a lot to choose from if you were making $10 an hour in San Francisco and wanted muted, edgy colors. There was one granny square blanket in particular that I made in variegated rainbow, bright purple, yellow, green, etc., that would make your eyes bleed. I did manage to make a tasteful blanket out of Red Heart for my little sister's wedding present. I even splurged on some Lion Brand Microspun for hats and scarves for Andrew and I when we first met. I also got the Red Heart color cards, as you see above. Granny’s Border – in Progress | alottastitches. After much consideration of yarn colors and amounts, I finally started working on the granny’s border!
The darker aqua squares which frame the blanket are slighter larger than the inner squares of light aqua, because the darker aqua yarn is of a slightly heavier weight. With the help of some experimentation, I decided to skip one stitch out of every four or five stitches in the blanket’s edge as I crocheted the first round of its border. I made it a plain double-crochet round of the same darker aqua yarn, hoping this would make my irregularly spaced stitches less noticeable.
I’m very pleased with how this technique eased in the extra dark aqua fabric, preparing it for the next two rounds, which I crocheted with a regular weight teal yarn. I began the first teal round by working three double-crochet stitches (a familiar granny cluster) into one stitch of the dark aqua, skipping the next two stitches, then repeating those two steps the rest of the way around.

We went to an Old Fashioned downtown Christmas Festival this past weekend. It was wonderful! Here are some pretties from our night out. These were window displays in the old store fronts.
I just adore the sleigh above! I believe this Santa is Antique since he was prominently displayed in an antique store window. Many snow globes, Miss A loved them, so many happy tiny worlds to provide endless day dream material.:) These trees were from The Festival of Trees. Wonderful causes too! Of course Miss A loved the pink and purple Christmas Trees. ...the evening could not be complete without the favored Carousel. I believe they are running a sale right now too. I actually worked mine a little short and the pattern calls for Paton's lace which has these gorgeous tiny sequins in it. Happy Sunday and have a beautiful week!
