...and so it begins

The madness that Is January -working in an accountants is pretty hectic in January and I made myself a promise (or a good intention for New Year ) amongst a couple of others that I would try and keep on an even keel this January and still keep normal life going.Don't ask me why but I love crocheting and always used to be flicking a crochet hook and making blankets. I also managed to make some more delicate fiddly things a few years ago too. Occasionally I get my big canvas bag out with odds and ends of wool in and start another blanket. Anyway, I was looking on Ebay the other day for some wool and came across some pattern books for sale for 'Afghan Blankets'. Well, I never knew they were called that and apparently there are all manner of patterns and permutations and sizes that can be made.So the book was ordered and I have instructed himself to get my knitting bag out of the loft ( yep he tidies my wool away cos he can't stand it behind the sofa..lol) Those who know me know that I am married to a virgo who is ultra tidy and always tidying me and my things up ...so watch this space as I intend to try and make one ! Oh and we have had about 4 inches of snow today - it seems to have stopped now but I'm not looking forward to driving tomorrow if it freezes tonight.
