Hurrying the late valentine

I know, I know! I'm extremely late for a valentine's day post. We tend to turn our nose up at gushy, lovey-dovey over here. It's that strong pragmatic streak in the blood, I think. But this cute little card from Anna is just the bee's knees. I can't stop looking at it. (It's now taking pride of place on my inspiration board.)


And seriously, that crochet edge is giving me raptures! Guess what the next crochet obsession will be. He he he!

But let's segue now into my newest finished woolie project. Ta da! Introducing my ripple scarf.


Upsides to crochet, I can take it anywhere, the car, the couch, the bed, the park. Not that I took it to the park. And it's remarkably obsessive stuff. Every time I want to put it down, its always "come on, just another row......or three".

Anyhow, the yarn I used is Filatura Di Crosa Zara for the plummy maroon colour and Sublime extra fine merino wool DK for the grey, 'cos they ran out of the grey in the Zara.

Here 'tis modelled on moi.


For now I'll leave you with a pretty bunch of glass-house long stemmed roses from the geezer. Like I've said before, he's such a good boy!


Cheerio for now!
