There's something very screwy going on with the weather. My calendar says mid-August but the temperature is hovering around the sixty degree mark and so far this week we have had gales and torrential rain. It's looking like summer is a washout here so I picked up my knitting the other day and made these ever so Gothic cuffs in this Autumn's hot colour, olive green.
And when you come home, what could be nicer than snuggling up with your hot chocolate under this crocheted throw? I keep a selection of blankets and lap quilts permanently draped over the back of my sofa because not only are they really useful for those times when you need a little extra warmth but they look darn good too!
I haven't posted any new work for a while, have I? All the studio rearranging has meant I got behind with everything so I'll try and do a bit of catching up this week in between my yearly Wimbledon fix - did anyone see the Mahut-Isner match? Just... wow!
Here's a couple of crochet pieces hot off the hook. This beach/market bag is super useful if you're trying to avoid plastic these days, which I know I am. The cushion cover is a contemporary take on that retro classic, the granny square, and looks great in pretty much any style of home. More details and views here.
That's all for now, Centre Court is calling...
