My crochet is coming along slowly, much more slowly than I'd like..It is easy to get distracted by other things when you have ocd..I also have a more recent interest in needle tatting which seems to have become a huge distraction from the crochet although the more different crafts i know how to do the more of a disttraction they are from my rituals so this could be a positive thing!
I found a cool video on youtube about making art yarn on a drop spindle which would be a lovely addition to my knitting and crochet...so I will be trying this in the near future...watch this space!!
My review for the book Handknit your home by Melanie Porter
I expected this book to contain covers for various types of chair in Melanies quirky patchwork style..it doesn't! So I was vey dissapointed by this however..the closest thing is the little stool you can see on the cover which I liked..Also of interest is the unusual of rope poufee and I adored the chunky bramble hedge throw..in fact by the time I had finished the book I was one over!..I love it!!..there is a nice section on measuring furniture so you can make your own covers and also the patterns are knit on bigger needles so great for quick knits..great for stranding various yarns together at the same time and knitting...all together a refreshingly bright aray of colour a good mix of patterns. You can see my review and a full synopsis of the book here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1908862688/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
