    Love the bowl Jazee, reminds me of a t-shirt yarn basket i've made they are so handy and like you say washable.

    Coxy, i'm getting used to it a bit more, but I've not done much of it this week, thankfully there is no rush as its just for me. I've done another 5 stripes on my blanket, i'm so behind on the CAL :rotfl: My garden is a mud bath atm, constant rain doesn't help at all.

    Thanks nmm. I hadn't thought about shaping handles in. What a brilliant idea. Loving this thread already, the house may get messy!

    Jazee, the handles were easy just do a chain and skip some stitches where you want them (mine were chain 7, skip 5 sts), then a round of single crochet going around the chain. Why do you think I joined Flylady my house is full of crafty clutter, haha

    Morning all - happy Sunday :)
    I've had a busy week. Had to take DS1 to A&E on Monday as he had a severe eye infection. Now on steroid drops for 8(!) weeks. Been to cinema twice - Just Mercy and Bombshell - both really good. Novelty not wearing off just yet!
    I've started the 'R' of CHRISTMAS now. It's coming on quite nicely.
    Loving the baskets ladies, such a great idea.
    Nmm - have PM'd you.
    Have a good day all,
    Coxy x

    Coxy, your inbox is full so can't reply :rotfl: Hope your DS1's eye is not too bad now and that the drops are working fast. I rarely go to the cinema, i fall asleep during a 1 hour program i'd end up snoring during the film :o

    Update on the Junction and my blanket. Managed another 5 stripes on the blanket seems to be limit atm, must try and do a bit extra on it. I've spent a couple of hours on The Junction, the evenweave is getting easier now, it will be a godsend when I start the petite stitches.

    Lovely things.

    I have to own up here to not being able to crochet. My bowl was made by plaiting thin lengths of old fabric.

    Am out today at craft club. We're working on a banner at the moment. At home I'm currently knitting squares .

    Hi all,
    Just a quick post from the train!
    nmm I’ve made some space in my inbox! Sorry :)
    Very jealous of all the craft and knitting club attendance. I messaged my knitting friends yesterday morning from work. They are planning another community project which I hope to contribute to.
    Hopefully back on later with a photo!!
    Have a good day all.

    Sorry for my late update post, went to knit & natter today, not much crochet done as we were having too good a time chatting away, my blanket is getting a bit big to take with me now, so i will pick a new project for next week.
