Some Makings

My granny square blanket is growing slowly, it's at a stage where I barely see any progress because it's already so big, but it still has a long way to go! I am hoping to keep going until it is the size of a double bed, so there will be extra cosyness as the winter approaches, and I have decided that the combination of losing stamina and running out of the right colour and shades of yarn will not defeat me!
As usual, the plan is to run down my yarn stash (it's getting somewhat out of hand) but my blanket plan left me with a quandary over lengths that are too short for a round but still have usefulness. I've gathered together all of the odds-and-ends, and I'm making pompoms and mini granny squares. This however may end up becoming a project...
Last week I finished Groot. He's utterly splendid, and has a very fancy pot and bit of grass to sit in. He has his own shelf and seems to be settling in quite nicely.
Thanks to Twinkie Chan for the "Grootorial", it was really fun and easy to follow!

My Week...

It's been a funny week, busy with lots of boring everyday things like haircuts and various appointments, but these are some of the little highlights...
Sunday - hanging out at home with the cats, where Norman made the most of his access to my crocheted rug
Thursday - Blueberry and Coconut cake at one of my favourite tea shops 
Friday - the start of Groot, from the pattern by Twinkie Chan, after a day of hat knitting for Innocent Smoothie's Big Knit Campaign

My Week...

Another week has passed, can't believe how time flies!
Tuesday - tea and cupcakes in The Vintage Rose Tearoom, Llangollen, and my "new-to-me" tea, coffee and sugar canisters, featuring peppers...
Wednesday - Meeting a new friend on our Anniversary evening stroll in the park in Chester
Thursday - Afternoon tea in Ellesmere followed by a trip to the movies to see "Guardians of the Galaxy"
Friday - My first Asian wedding, so very beautiful! 
Saturday - Honey and her lady-like paws, and my newly balled-up skeins of sock yarn - can't wait to start knitting!
