On my hook - a twisted cowl.

I finished this twisted cowl last week and I know I say it each time I crochet something, but I loved making this, it really was a joy to pick up and work on.  I made it especially for my lovely sister-in-law who celebrated her 50th birthday yesterday.  I loved sifting through the yarn at the local yarn store, picking out the colour I thought she would like, choosing the type of yarn, and browsing online for the right pattern.

The pattern is a fan stitch and done with a 180 degree twist on a 5mm hook so it's nice and chunky.  I absolutely LOVED the yarn too - a superfine Merino (Zara brand) which was incredibly warm and soft, just perfect for wearing around your neck.   The photos really don't do the colour justice - it is such a gorgeous blue and suited her perfectly.

What's been on your hook lately?

A growing collection...

The postman has been kind to me this week..............

Another parcel of gorgeous yarn......

I received these chubby balls of loveliness from Bendigo Woollen Mills.  I was really impressed with their range and the postage was incredibly reasonable. 

Right .... time to get busy....

A parcel arrives....

Look what came for me today.............

 

..............my very first bundle of yarn all the way from www.woolwarehouse.co.uk in the UK.  I am so, so excited....

Don't they look so cosy all snuggled up together?  And how divine is that rust colour?  I seriously could not stop looking at them for hours after unwrapping them.  

I was itching to get my hands on them and wrap them around my fingers and hook.   And look what happened...........

Oh how I love purple and green together  ❤❤❤❤

......This little parcel made my day.....hope you're having a wonderful day too...
