WOYWW 858 Alliums and crochet

Hi all, here for our weekly bloghop courtesy of Sarah’s craftshed, firstly sending healing hugs to Neet. Then here’s my desk:


This is my charcoal and watercolour study of alliums, the idea is that they’ve just come in from he garden. 
We’re staying with an autumnal theme this week, doing squirrels. I’m very tempted by this one, quite the fluffiest I’ve seen, but it might be tricky as we’re not allowed to use white. 


This one might be easier:


My crochet keeps growing:
Supervised by Bella who sends you all purrs. 
I’m very much enjoying The Game of Wool. This week, one challenge was dog outfits based on icons such as David Bowie. Very silly, Bella said, she most definitely did not want one. 
There was a dot jumper by Knitting for Olive that I liked, worn by one of the contestants.   I looked up their yarn and it was v expensive. Worse than that, they wanted £15 in tax, as it was coming from Denmark. I complained as I’ve never paid that with Hobbii and they explained it was because I was American. Well, they got a very stiff email back and I looked elsewhere. 
I have the idea of making the circles from multicoloured yarn on a beigy background (about a third of the price of KfO yarn but still wool and angora).

I will finish my blanket first, though. 
And finally



I’ll be round after art class - put the kettle on!
Happy WOYWW,
Hugs

Love your alium study! Good luck with the squirrel...
Additional postage charges mean that I no longer order outside Aus - a real pain!
