Rainbow Ripple


The rug formally known as 'Biopsy Blanket' was finished last week. 


Shorty is very happy with the result because it is HERS and nobody else has owned it previously.


 It is pleasant to lie on and wrap up in and drag around the house.

                                                     

We have to learn to share it though as the next one might be a while in coming.
We shall call it 'Chemo Crochet' and it shall be Lala's friend.


A merry godmother's work is never done. Anna renamed the blanket 'Rainbow Ripple' and proceeded to knock up a pretty decent emergency spag bog with a frozen lump of mince and selected fridge accessories. Who looks this good after a day Facebook workshopping? Look at the grip on that spoon! Pound it, Anna!

One of Anna's favourite pastimes is putting chillun to bed. The self- bedder chose this friendly spot to curl up tonight.
Then we made each other very tired. It was loverly!


(P.S. For those who wanted to know, the 'recipe' for this blanket was from the Royal Sisters, I think. She calls it a 'chevron blanket'. It is one of those classic nanna patterns that my own Grandma and lots of others used to make a lot. They are still sprinkled throughout our large extended family bringing warmth and nanna love to  the offspring. The openness of the weave varies with the needle size. I didn't want it too thick living in Brisbania. This is a nice weight for here. I crochet all the ends in as I go without knotting so there is no finishing off although I may crochet a border onto it when I get some more wool.)

A Bunny's Tale

I cooked up this bunny using a 'recipe' from the delightful Royal Sisters. Her PDFs are very easy to follow. It was to have been a mousey grey but Shorty chose this colour so it is, instead, a Bunny de la Mer.


Having made the case, the bunny was assembled in stages.

1. Stuff the bunny bits with wads of cushion filler fluff. Deter 10 year old from sneaking fluff for a Santa beard. (Maybe I really need to pack up the tree.)
2. Stuff bunny quickly in late afternoon sun being sure to wear Curlypops brooch at the same time and avoiding tending to the lamb roast which has been cooking for an unknown number of hours.

3. Marvel at how stuffed bunny parts in the late afternoon sun look like drumsticks and avocados. (We are getting hungry now.)
4. Send the staff for a late afternoon swim to further delay and increase their appetite whilst suturing bunny together from the best life guard's position.
5. Observe bunny underway and wonder how much longer I can get away with ignoring dinner.
6. Abandon bunny when I realise there is no black wool and the Big Fella politely requests I might like to serve the food he has cooked while he was painting. Really! Let bunny rest for 24 hours.
7. On completion of bunny features, take mug shots of bunny for posterity. Please, look into the camera.
Now turn to the right. Shorty and I love that squeezable tushi.
8. Dinner is served!
