WOYWW Crochet and art

Hi all, 

I’m back for our weekly bloghop care of Sarah’s craft shed. It was lovely catching up with some of you on Saturday. 

I’ve gone and put my ATCs away somewhere safe so I’ll have to show them to you next week. 

I’ve been trying to start a crocheted baby book this week from this pattern. 

My idea is to make 3 copies for the babies of my ‘cousinettes’ (children of my cousins as B likes to call them). We need a new term for the next generation!

I used the yarn and tiny 1.75mm hook as specified but it came out way too big. 

I’m not dropping another size of hook, my tension isn’t that far out, so I’m busking it, just working approximately to the picture. 

Eventually you get a book with lots of moving parts for children to play with. This hen reveals an egg and a chicken, 

There’s a rabbit with a carrot, a hippo, a bear with furry ears..,

I like the idea, if not the technical details of the pattern. 

Bella is supervising, of course, and sends you all purrs.

 This is me trying to wake her up so I can go to bed. She works so hard  😻

I was pleased to be able to thank the singer Peggy Seeger on her ninetieth birthday last week. It was in an article about her in the Guardian. Her song really kept me going as a trainee engineer. It’s here: 

I’m gonna be an engineer

Thanks for your good wishes last week. Sadly, my aunt died on Tuesday so I didn’t go to art class on Wednesday. She was in a lot of pain from her cancer at the end so it was a relief for her. 

I start a summer art class on 5th June. 

We had a nice visit today, Tuesday, to Lenham art show in a wonderful 14th century tithe barn. 

There was lots of variety, painting, pottery, sculpture, without it being too big 

This is one of my favourites by my tutor Claire Sparkes. 

Jan, I think you’d like Jane Ford. 

And there was even a rocking horse above the cafe in the village. 

And finally…

Happy WOYWW
