All finished including sides and base crochet bit I have to confess tho' that I am a BIG hooker I only used the wrong size hook - found out this morning when I had a proper look at

chalky's

tutorial again. So have been and found the right size and will make one properly this time......so instead of a purse its more a rucksack size!

isom

glad you had a terrific day out - even if you didn't manage to rescue any yarn.

Moiliere

that will make such a difference when the barn is

all

gone.....we have one but can't remove it - as we use it, we have disguised it the french way TREES all round it ha ha, Off to make a wee purse (this time right hook).

Oh what a lovely lot of "hooky" posts. If you are teetering on the edge of a Crochet Love Affair --- Jump RIGHT in!
Quicker, Easier and so rewarding! I do love knitting too though!
Jean -- You are a star! Lovely purse!
Kathy -- Brilliant pics and crochet work
ISOM -- Rest up awhile!
May -- as always -- Lovely to see you!
Shaz The socks sound wonderful!
Lovecrafting -- So nice that you are staying awhile! Lovely posts.
pippa You must be seeing Dorset at its perfect best!

Dpixie No sign of you. All other MIA'S Pfungi, Linedancer Anne, Salome, Orkney Star and Purple Teddy Bear to name but a few lots of " missing you" thoughts!

Well last night apart from a very mediochre meal at a British type restaurant -- Not our choice the entertainment was amazing.There were strolling minstrel bands from universities all over Spain and Portugal. It was spellbinding with music,instruments and dancing which was absolutely marvellous-- We loved it and left at about midnight and I am sure in a very Spanish manner they would have seen the dawn!

Love to all in this gorgeous weather here there and everywhere x


Gintomelinda -- Are you sure you name is not anagram about me!

I just had to do ONE the right size, also I am not happy with flowers, but remembered I did swizzley's at Christmas two years ago and got you all started on them, still can't judge how much yarn to leave to finish the end of, so one squiggle is longer than the other but as a work in progress and a trial for crochet I am very happy - I don't want an addiction BUT if someone could point me to a VERY EASY BLAKET I would be ecstatic, I can do trebles, shells (I know that's not their name) and I have a book of instructions, you have to be very quick tho' as I will be straight onto the dog/cat baskets the very minute that the big fat crochet hooker rolls up.
Jean
having had a great day playing, may even do it al again tomorrow.

hello ladies - lovely day here

Thank you so much for your words of support they mean so very much to me xxx

sock-knitter - we now know why you are going to they gym - tee hee tall and handsome - very nice! - thank you for your support I had not realised you also find it difficult to go out you do so well - I admire you xxxx

Big Hooker (alias roamin) - lovely pics - well done you - you have done so well !!!:T:Txxx

may - lovely to see you and your post was great xxx

lovecrafting - Im with you on this one - crochet and I do not mix! - it feels so unatural in the hand to me but would love to be able to do it its so quick xx

chalky, roamin, isom, kathy etc - whilst here have anyone of you seen "extreme knitting" on huge huge needles - they knit rugs and I might be barking but Im sure they knit strips of what looks like old sheets??? - I would love to have a go but the kits ive seen are like 40 ish pound plus for a cushion cover?

The posts in the last few days have been really lovely - everyone seems in good spirits - we dont forget those that are lurking or feeling low - big hugs to you xxxx

Im so sorry if ive missed anyone ive popped on quick to update (as ive promised to do for last few weeks and realised ive not achieved much! sorrrrrrrrrry - plus my head is mushy nothing new there!(Dr started me on new tabs and then the MH team want to give me either bigger dose or a second tab - im not sure about all these tabs they worry me even more iykwim!) - plus i have a monster attached to my hip today desperate for his dad to be home (DH worked all day today but going to be home this week - I would have liked him to have been available for my meeting with the MH as he is off this week but understandably will take DS out of way)

I was very silly yesterday and whilst MIL etc here yesterday we sat and ate lunch in the garden not for long but i burned my neck and shoulders boy did i suffer last night

Anyway my velcro son "needs" me tee hee - love and hugs to all xxx

Jean --- Have you had a look at Granny squares because they are just brilliant for blankets. You have all the skills and stitches you need and in a way they are the most pure form of crochet blankets--- in my humble opinion!

I would like to say though that you are getting very close to being as beautifully bonkers as me!
