Crafts By Fenella

There I was diligently working on finishing a WIP that I'd had knocking around for a while. Sitting under the gazebo, audiobook, crochet....perfect afternoon after an early start to get to a 9am screening of Deadpool & Wolverine (brilliant! I loved it! 🤣)
That's when it all went horribly wrong. I went to get something that was near my yarn stash, then saw these colours, then an idea popped into my head, then I made this, now I have another WIP on the go. Oops, my bad 🤷🏻‍♀️
😉

On my hook today.... determined to finish some WIPs, so I've pulled these squares out to finish and finally make into a bag ☺️

❤️

Oops I *might* have started a new project 🤔
In my defense it is intended as a stash buster project ....
At least 5 squares a day, see how much yarn I can get through and I'll end up with a gorgeous blanket at the end - win win 🎉
I haven't yet thought about how I'll arrange the squares - by colour? in a pattern? I'd like to randomly join them and see what happens but I'm reeeaaaallly bad at random 🤣🤣

Thank you Manchester! Thank you for a wonderfully organised event, thank you to all those who came to my stall and bought my crochet. I really appreciate it 😊
Lovely to meet new customers ☺️ I'm spending the day recovering 🤣 watching tennis and working on lots of ideas for new products - flowers feature heavily 😊
Any requests?

It's a very wet, drizzly, miserable day here in Cheshire. I managed to nip out to grab a photo of the lavender I made yesterday 🪻🪻🪻 More on my hook this morning, then moving to sunflowers 🌻🌻🌻 this afternoon.
You never know, it might encourage the 🌞 to make an appearance 😉

Once upon a time there was no yarn in my house 😲
I think that's more of a horror story actually 🤣
Rest assured, there is plenty of yarn now 😊

I was doing a little research last night for different colours of pansies....well I had no idea there were quite so many types!!!
Then I found myself yarn shopping according to my research oops 😉
Anyway, it's quite clear to me that the crochet pansy phase will be going on a while longer 😊
Any requests?
