Current WIP count: 6
With the baby blankets done and dusted, I can now focus on my dad’s birthday present. It’s going to be a Lego blanket, using lots and lots of these ‘bricks’ (which are really difficult to photograph!).
I figured out how to make them myself, which I’m quite proud of.
On Sunday I had a 3-hour train journey and I was hoping to spend the whole time crocheting, but I’m a total dingbat and packed the wrong hook size so I couldn’t do anything. Basically I just took my yarn on a field trip.
It did give me an excuse for a proper reading session though – silver lining!
So I’m nowhere near as far along with the blanket as I hoped to be at this point and I can’t guarantee it’ll be finished in time, which would be a shame.
But I’m not admitting defeat yet. There’s a fairly clear weekend coming up and I’m going to spend most of it crocheting.
Wish me luck!

Shame about the wrong hook – I’ve done that with knitting needles/yarn combo, stupidly soldiered on anyway but the scarf I was knitting was an awful tension and I had to rip it right back when I got home – a waste of my 3 hours – you were much more sensible enjoying a book !

Yeah I made half a brick and realised the whacking great gaps between the stitches probably wouldn’t work! It was nice to read again

What did you think of Longbourn? I read it last year and enjoyed it, even though it wasn’t what I was expecting

I’m still trying to decide how I feel about it. There’s a bit of cognitive dissonance going on with the way lizzy and jane behaved
