I’ve been crocheting more squares for my blue and white cardigan.
I struggled with joining them with zipper stitch but I m not happy with the results from sewing them either so I’ve found a video for leftie zipper stitch. It’s still not very flat.
Here’s my first try at zipper stitch.
It’s fun doing spirals but they don’t lie flat easily either. Maybe blocking will flatten it all out.
Bella and Gracie are not speaking to me today as they’ve had their monthly flea treatment.
They both go out now, Gracie just a little and Bella whenever she can.
Gracie has taken advanced cuteness classes and (normally) lies with her head looking up at me. 😻
Bella has boundless energy and whizzes up and down the stairs at high speed, making little squeaky mews. She brought in her first mouse this week 😒
She goes out via the cat flap but still doesn’t come in via it, apart from when I’m training her with little bowls of food. At least she runs across the garden to me when I call her.
I’m still staying home most of the time, but went as far as Macknades this week. It’s the most amazing Italian deli and food shop on the A2 in Faversham. We bought pear Mostarda, wild boar sausages, lots of odd varieties of tomatoes, cheese biscuits that have apricots and pistachios in them, risotto rice, all sorts of stuff. When I go to a supermarket like Aldi, I struggle to find anything I’d like. Macknades is the opposite. A real treat.
And finally…
Take care and keep crafting!

Ooh, the foodie place sounds wonderful, I’d have been tempted by so much as well! Nom nom. The squares are looking fab and will make a great cardigan, I’m sure blocking will help things lie a little flatter. Give the girls a scratch from me, so good to hear they’re happy and content.

Your kitties are gorgeous! Love the spirals and hope you find a good way of joining them. Happy WOYWW. Take care and stay safe, With Love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#15)
ReplyDeleteBella and Gracie have really fallen on all four paws with you, Lynne! It sounds as if they have a really lovely life, like our two do - a life of luxury! Ruby also gets mad fits of rushing around the house, usually if they've been fed late because we've been out. We call it an attack of Scatter Cat or Skitty Kitty! Lily is generally far too lazy for such antics. She's a lazy lump.
ReplyDeleteYour crochet squares are coming on nicely. Don't worry about them being lumpy - it's astonishing what blocking will do to flatten things out. The zipper stitch is great - is that a crochet stitch or sewing? I found a brilliant joining crochet stitch when doing the kitty throw but unfortunately being in black wool, it doesn't show up very well. Great funnies as always!
Happy WOYWW,
