Today when I woke up I just wanted crochet. Wanted to feel the cool metal and sumptuous soft yarn in my fingers, and luckily for me as you may be aware I have quite a few projects on the go that require my attention so I picked up the baby blanket once more and began right in the bed, with Bug beside me helping all he could...
I will finish this soon. I had to buy more yarn for it yesterday so it is confirmed that I underestimated how many balls I would need. Looks like it will be 12-14. I am using a cotton blend yarn which is so soft and practical as it can be washed and tumble dried, just right for baby.
A little peek into my knitting bag(not that I do much knitting these days).
My buttons tin, I could go crazy with buttons, especially when the sewing machine comes out but I hold myself back and just get a few at a time. I love them, they are so much fun.
My bug is a lovely, helpful Bug, who shares Mummies joy of crochet x
Hope you all have a fab weekend xxxx
I love buttons!!! I wish I could crochet. When I try, I just make knots. not the good kind either.

Glad you had a good hooky day! we share a passion for buttons. I just had to buy myself a second button tin to take the overflow from the first one! :)
