One a day 6/ Wip: slow progress and flower beds


Hexipuff count: 43


Yarn: all kinds of scraps, but also new yarn! A lot of Lana Grossa. 

Well, last Tuesday's Tallies went by without a post on Crea in the City. Last week I did zero, this week a shameful 4 hexipuffs. 



It isn't very surprising that the counter got stuck last week. I haven't been feeling too well past week, some kind of flue I guess. 

I made one hexipuff with my new bought sockyarn, it is gorgeous! I have to resist making many more (I want to make the socks first!). 



There is another reason why the hexipuffs didn't grow that much, other projects have occupied my hands. I went back to the thing that comes most natural to me: crochet. So with this post I will also be joining the fun of WIP Wednesday.








Curious to see what the end result of this project will be? I will keep you posted! 

Next to all the knitting and crochet I have gotten awards this week! I was nominated by 4 people.


Thank you Niamh (The Craft Giraffe), Hazel (Hazel's Crochet), Melissa (Lazy Daisy Crochet) and Shelley (All4meggymoo)! 

I will nominate 15 blogs later this week and tell 7 random things about me. 

Check out Gingerbread girl for more One a day projects and check out Tami's Amis for other WIP Wednesday projects. 


I'll leave you with a view from our little apartment.

  2. Oooh your sock wool is knitting up beautifully. I'm toying with the udea of trying to get that on mail order via my Irish sis who is coming to visit in 7 weeks (yeay).
    The flowers are also pretty. I'm starting on a scarve now, made up by the doilie featured on the Yvestown blog, a nice fat, flat flower.

  8. The flowers are beautiful! I went through a phase of making loads of crocheted flowers. I stuck them on hats, bags, headbands, you name it, it got a flower.
