I received a new delivery of cotton today. I really like the jewel colours of this batch, it should make some beautiful dolls.
I've a new episode on my YouTube channel. There's a link up in my profile ⬆️.
I started this on Saturday and finished it this afternoon. Lots of crochet and my fingers and neck are suffering for it. What can I say, once I start a project I like to blast through until it's done.
Finished the huge size 11.5 UK socks and it only took me 16 days!
Working on this week's rows for my temperature blanket and look...a new colour has been added. It's definitely getting more spring like, though the wind and rain can take a hike.
I've a new podcast episode up (link in my bio). I have an FO, a HO and a couple of WIP's. I need help in choosing my next amigurumi, let me know which one you think I should do next.
