Granny squares

I'm one of those people who if I learn to do something I want to do the best I can. I have to have every book in that subject. I never tire of learning more in my chosen subjects .Even I travel from my home in London to my home in the black country I must have at least three books,one all about crochet/knitting ,a cookery book and last but not least my current novel..

As you can image my home is filled with books, I don't understand just why I have to have all these books. If I where to read one every day it would take a few years to get through that lot.

I'm also a magpie with magazines, my bedside reading it now a stack that I could actually use it as a piece of furniture.Its like a stairway to the ceiling and if I'm honest I quite like it.I'vespotted a similar thing in a trendy modern website

I resolved to do something about it. I attacked them with strict determination and decided I would sort them until I started to wain and fail my mission, that would only lead me to pack them away again. Ive spent this morning sorting all my crochet and knitting magazine. I have so much.It is so hard to let go but I have to. I've been out of control ,so much so Ive managed it subscribe the the same magazine twice, but wait for it, I've keep both of them. See, I am mad.

On the crochet front I'm knee deep in granny squares. In my stash I have around 90 balls of Debbie bliss cotton in the above colours, don't they look wonderful. Got it for a bargain price .I have away to go but I'm completely hooked. I love the stitches in cotton it results with sharper,bold crisp stitches. I'm not looking forward to blocking these babies ,but I'm excited nevertheless. Watch this space for future updates.
