The bride and groom are coming round to see us in the morning, they were insistent on popping in to us,we are intrigued as to why they feel they want to actually see us again.....they are a lovely couple and H is such a little poser, he loves to be photographed as you can see!

As you can see the spiderman blanket is finished. It's been washed and line dried so it's as soft as a spiderman blanket could be. I am really looking forward to giving this to Tyler...not sure when that will be though. I really love how this has turned out, I just wish I could have found the right colours in some aran weight yarn as the double knitting yarn took a bit of a while to get to size. I used every bit of the blue yarn and almost every bit of the red too, I like it when that happens.

I also love the way the treble crochet (or double depending on where you hail from) sort of herringbones and changes shade...definitely a blanket for a little boy! I also think it would make a lovely baby blanket in softer pastel colours.
Barry is off this week, today we went for a drive, looked at a couple of houses, from the road not to go in as we're not really in a position to put in any offers but we did see a really pretty older property out in the country....
Lovely smells are coming out of the kitchen, Barry is cooking a creamy lamb curry for tea...yum! Some of that Chewy Almond Apple Cake would be a nice desert too. (not sure there's much left though..) I think I'm a bit hungry!!

Ooh I love the Spiderman blanket!
Love weddingpictures and the spiderman blanket looks gorgeous. Some project though!
What a cool blanket!
I am so glad you two found each other...makes me sigh.
I think that little boy in the wedding photos is just adorable. What a character!
And the blanket is fantastic!!! What a great gift for a very lucky boy! You do such wonderfully creative things, M. And they always look so neat and polished. Love it.
What? And you can crochet aswell? Is there no end to your talents? If you're house-hunting, fancy coming to live near me? Like next door? I could do with a fellow yarn freak nearby so David realises I'm actually quite normal! And perhaps Barry could teach him that men can go in the kitchen, for something else other than a beer from the fridge!
Wow that Spiderman blanket is really good!
love the blanket, you did a lovely job on it. Oh to be a little boy...
And speaking of boys, that one in the pictures is just adorable. I bet he was a mess

Thanks for the phone call...these men can be very meddlesome at times!
Just caught up with my favourite blogs after a week away, haven't you done some nice things?! Love the blanket. And how nice to meet up with a fellow blogger, we all seem to have so much in common but mostly never meet in person.
I'm watching your photography with interest as my 15 year old daughter is keen to persue a career in that direction so we're upgrading our camera sometime... Santa might be very generous this year ;) Please keep sharing your work with us.
That has got to be the coolest blanket I have ever seen. What a fantastic item! Lovely job on it!!
