WOYWW 746 Borders, books and shading.

Hi all, back for our weekly blog hop courtesy of Miss Julia at the Stamping Ground
I’ve finished all my chevron strips and am now doing the borders prior to joining them up. 

Bella is snuggling under them to ‘help me’ 😼.  It’s nice how the border smooths the strip and reduces the curling. I’m doing a ‘join as you go’ crochet join:



It’s cool, windy and very rainy here today so my timing’s good for joining them up. Fingers crossed that it will be as sunny as forecast on Saturday, though, as I’ll be selling my book in the Authors’ tent at the Canterbury food and drink festival. 

Gracie is extra keen on cuddles as well now it’s colder. 
They both send purrs to all your cats. 

I enjoyed my first drawing lesson last week. Nothing much to show yet as we were practicing shading techniques. 

And finally…



Take care and happy WOYWW 
Hugs

I laughed at the R2D2 cartoon! The chevrons are looking great and I really like the crochet join you’re doing, it’s going to be a gorgeous throw/bed cover. Good luck with the stall on Saturday, hope you get lots of sales! It’s raining cats and dogs here though supposedly clearing up this afternoon - not that I can do much, I’ve got gout and it’s really painful and hindered me doing things. Bah humbug….

Lunchtime forecast suggest Saturday will be the very best day of the week, so I hope it's right and that you enjoy, it must be a marvellous experience selling your own published work! He chevrons look fab, I love the border finish. Are you finding the zebra o hook very comfortable in use?, hope so!

LOL1 We need a cat-versions of WOYWW. So many kitties nowadays, and doggies too. Your blanket is getting bigger by the day and from the look of the weather you will be needing it. Keep warm - nothing like a little purring furnace on your lap on a dank and wretched day.

Happy, if wet and miserable, WOYWW!

A real wet day here, this morning the rain bounced down on the patio (and everywhere else I guess). Good luck on Saturday, not that you will need it.
Love how the edging makes it uncurl, does this mean it is so close to the end for it? I am so excited to see it.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx
