Its been another hot one here and the promise that its going to continue into the weekend and beyond.is
It does mean that the strawberries are ripening on a daily basis - today I manage to pick them and use them before the fridge monster appeared!!
Put my strawberry swap jelly to good use :)
Now I've tried hard with the crochet but we just aren't getting each other - I wanted some hooky bunting but that at the moment seems like a distant dream - however not one to be completely defeated, I've been knitting some instead!!
The triangles would also make an interesting cushion cover;
Nine triangles done - another 3 to go
9th one was still on the needles when I took this pic - finished it and number 10 when I watched the tennis this afternoon.
I've also this week finished my 81st blanket square;
Big enough to take camping and to the festival this summer - another 40 squares can be knitted/attached over the winter!!
Came home yesterday from a jaunt into town - no bargains in the CS's - must be too hot to sort/donate. However I did find something on my desk;
MrVV rescued it from the garden after he jammed in the patio doors!!
Got a bit of shock when picking strawberries earlier this week - this little 'fella' was lurking in the damp shaded patch behind the strawberry box - not sure who jumped the highest/furthest - I do know who screamed the loudest though *blush*
Have a great weekend - keep cool and drink Pimms ;)

Love your little knitted triangles. I am sure they would make a lovely cushion.
I would have jumped too if I saw that amongst the strawberries!!
Have a lovely weekend.

We had strawberry jelly tonight! :-)
Loving the knitting, the blanket is great.
Oohh I love your bunting and the blanket is beautiful! I think I may well turn pink with the quantity of strawberries I have gone through these last couple of weeks!

Loving you blanket and I also think knitted bunting is the way forward, it looks fab :-) Hope Mr Frog doesn't like strawberries.
I love the knitted bunting in progress, I've seen crocheted bunting before but never ever knitted, so I cant wait to see the finished item!!
Have a great weekend.

I miss my little frog who used to jump out at me & make me jump !
I'm going to try crochet - The blog friend I met in London is sending me a beginners book.
Wise words abou the Pimms!
Love the bunting. I'm another trying to master crochet. Just taken a book out the library, hope that'll help me.
