Well my "playing with yarn" day on Wednesday may have meant I managed OK at work yesterday, but today the lurgy finally got me. So today it's been a "lemsip and hankie" sort of day.
No shopping has taken place and I've ,once again, been taking comfort in my crochet.
I'm up to 90 squares now and I couldn't resist laying it on the bed to get an impression of what it will look like. It's 12 squares wide , which I think will be enough , once I add the border.They're not he best pictures as it's so dark here today.......
What do you think ? I must say a absolutely adore it . The bright circles remind me of summer flowers and are just the thing to cheer me up during the dull days to come.
As you can see I'm planning the colours for each row as I go. Hopefully this avoids too many similar colours close together.....
Thank you for all the Circle Love you've already sent my way. I'll leave you with another picture. The boys are out to tea so I'm just off to sit down with another lemsip and hook few more squares :0).....
