I just want to say g'day

To all my friends!

This blog has been fairly quiet for quite a while now,

I don't seem to be making much besides crochet

which is a slow and repetitive process

so there's not as much to share.

However,

with a new small crochet project in the planning,

I thought I'd share some photos

as I begin to choose threads.

Threads

Pretty colours that are like touching the rainbow.

A new project awaits,

for a nice

person

who has given me only two hints.

She likes bright colours,

the brighter the better,

as you can see

here

and bright yellow should feature as the main colour.

Ideas begin to form while work continues

on a baby shawl.

The shawl is finished,

washed and blocked,

ready to send across the sea.

Thoughts turn to

threads beautiful threads.

And another colourful adventure begins.

First my messy work drawer full of

odds and ends of thread from recent 

(and not so recent )

work.

A quick tidy up and shove reels and cards to the back,

can't be bothered with actually putting things away

when there's the fun of planning

and choosing colours to turn into something pretty!

Start with drawer no.1

Plenty to choose from here?

On to drawer no.2

And drawer no.3

A girl can never have enough thread can she?

Find that bright yellow to start,

and add some more brightness,

and then my hand is full of possibilities.

Pop them into my work drawer,

and

Let The Fun Begin!!

Bright yellow.

Purple.

Hot pink.

Magenta.

Emerald green.

Mauve.

Pale blue.

Can you guess what is on my hook

right  now?

What will those colours turn into....?

All shall be revealed in time!
