WOYWW 706 Keeping warm with vines

Hi all, I hope you’re keeping warm in this chilly weather! I’ve resorted to merino base layers. 

The eagle-eyed among you, mentioning no names, Jan, spotted that last week Gracie was on my lap next to a new piece of crochet. It was the start of this. Brian has always secretly liked the embroidered suit Gram Parsons wore do I’m making him a vineyard slipover for his birthday in January. It will later have leaves sewn on like my recent scarf. I ordered the wool online and it’s a bit lighter in weight than I thought. Brian likes it but I may do a double layer of it. I’ll see. I do like the way the grapes stick up with the puff stitches!

The leaves are fun to crochet when I’m bored with to and fro crochet or when I’m in the car. 

There’s been much vying for my lap this week- I suppose I’m a useful heat source😻😻

I’ve taken more photos of our water meter this week than anything else. 

We have to take the second meter reading for our water on Thursday, and then we’ll see how Affinity Water makes amends. I’m still disgusted by how they refuse to invest in water meters with leak alarms (unlike Thames) while exhorting us all to save water. 

And finally…

I’m off to blog hop at Julia’s Stamping Ground

Take care and enjoy your crafting!

Hugs
