Today was a good day.
Two friends came over for lunch and a walk. After a good chat and catch up on news we had some sandwiches and salad then put on our walking boots and water proof coats and set off.
It was sunny as we left and for two thirds of the way but the big black clouds were rolling in and on our way back the heavens opened and we got soaked. We did not mind, it was fun, we all became quite childish and giggled a lot!
The woods were full to the brim with bluebells and looked magical. I am afraid my photos don't quite capture the sight were saw. We are so lucky to live so close to such beautiful countryside.
Now I thought I would show you my WIP. The crochet granny squares are being put together.
I am crocheting them together and I think that the wrong side is actually quite nice, I like seeing the chain stitch!
The bluebell woods are beautiful. I have not been in one for years! Your crochet is coming on nicely. I like the mint and cream colour combination.x
ReplyDeleteWhat an exquisite carpet of blue...and lunch with dear friends...and the silliness of trying to stay dry in a downpour... I'd say it all adds up to a very fine day.
ReplyDeleteI do many things, but I've never gotten the hang of crochet. Your squares are looking good!

Very pretty green in your granny squares, Lyn! Those bluebell woods look magical and the photos are lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice day!

Ah, it is so hard - almost impossible to capture bluebell woods in all their gloriousness, but they do look lovely in your picture, drifting off into the distance. I forgot you are 'up north' and was wondering about the waterproofs. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bluebell woods, it's been such a good year for them! Granny squares are looking great, I like them the wrong way round too.

I think its because they have such a short season and are always spectacular that I really love bluebells. Your squares are looking great. I wish I had patience for Granny squares, but I run out after making enough for a cushion!!
