Hello again.

Hello, so sorry I've not been writing much lately but to be totally honest with you I've not been doing much crafting so not really had much to write about.
The black dog has been hanging around again for a few weeks so not felt up to doing much.
Plus the hot humid weather that we have been having up here on Isle of Bute has been sapping what little energy I have. Unusual for us to go so long ( around 4 weeks, I think ) without any rain but the humidity has been hard to deal with.
Having to wear my compression stockings due to the lynphoedema has made it very hard and the pain has been unbearable at times.
Anyway, enough about my health issues.

I have been doing a spot of crochet. It's easy to pick up and put down and it has been good to get back to doing it.
I finally got round to using some yarn that I got from a local charity shop. I got 5 cones (not full ones!) for £3 I think it was.
Nice yarn, but there was no label on them to say what the fibre content was. I have a feeling it might have been something like a silk/cotton blend. Anyway, it crocheted up nice.

 

I made a one piece bag and finished it off with some lovely sari silk tassels that I made up from some lovely sari silk from Yarn Yarn. I am obsessed with their products and keep buying odd bits and I have finally found a use for some of them!!

I only used up 2 of the cones - it was 1 ply so I doubled it up - so I made another bag! And used more lovely sari silk for yet more tassels!!

This was a two-tone bag and I even added an extra tassel!!

Still got 2 cones left - am tempted to make another one ( with tassels!! ) but how many bags does a girl need? Ok, don't answer that!!


Might make a scarf but we'll see. I guess I can add sari silk tassels to that too!! Hmmm!!.
