I was spoilt rotten yesterday.I had one of the most relaxing days ever.Breakfast in bed .A lovely roast beef ,roast potatoes, parsnip,a divine salad with a gorgeous vinaigrette., and profiteroles for dinner.It was so lovely and I felt spoilt. I love being a mum , best thing I have ever done. I'm so proud of them and I love them both ,I'm the luckiest mum in the world. Two new purchases deliciously soft and silky yarn from Sheepaints. I wish I could describe the softness of this yarn.All I have done since Ive got them is stroke them. I wound them into balls and I have started a new project. I still have plenty more projects to finish and I know I should not have started a new one,but, the yarn screamed out to me that it want to be a shawl .Does that ever happen to you? ,my yarns talks to me but dont tell my family they already think I'm bonkers they don't get why I have so much yarn

I have been asked to show a few more pictures of my granny square jacket. I love the way it has turned out.I particularly like the back I didnt want the whole jacket to be so colourful so decided on black grannies at the back with a line of colour at the hem. Very effective dont you think? I added the belt to define the waist.It is made entirely of granny squares . I didnt do a gauge swatch i just crocheted a few square with different sizes hooks until i had the perfect stitch definition I was after. My template was a coat I like the fit of. It is so easy to make.

If anyone had told me I would be making a multicoloured granny square jacket and wear it I would have said they were mad. I love wearing it.
