behind the scenes

Looking at my last proper post I realised that I’ve been absent an awful lot lately and if I’m totally frank, there really isn’t a good reason.

I have been doing things though, honest.  Like I made an afghan,

a ripple stripe afghan, eleven colours, two repeats, double crochet nine, skip two, double crochet nine, three double crochet in one, repeat ad infinitum.

This was particuarly relaxing to make and crocheted up a lot quicker than I expected.  I also made le slouch.  In cream for myself,

and burgundy for my mum’s mother’s day present.

This is another simple, TV watching pattern, especially when you get onto the seed stitch of the main body and you just go round and round and round for six gloriously simple inches.

I also made some peanut butter cups,

using this recipe.  And then, finally, happily, I went to see the Killers,

and oh my, they were good.

And I promise that my next post will be better.  Don’t give up on me yet x
