A very brown week

This is what I have been up to in the last few days.

The beginning of a new quilt.

I love the combination of brown and blue. I used to love brown and blue together way back in the dark ages when I was in year 6.  Pure by Sweetwater is gorgeous and I hope I do it justice.  I should get a bit further into this in the next few days.


Some more photos of my crochet progress.

I finished the shawl.  I love the colours but now I am not so sure I like the finished product.  In some lights it looks very vibrant and in others it looks quite subdued.  I was a teensy bit p***ed off with the Noro yarn, as it is very expensive and one ball had two breaks in it, (one not even tied together, the other in a small knot).  Another ball had one break in it.  I used 4 balls to complete it.  Paying over $14 per ball, I would expect better quality control. 

Look how my skin is unwrinkled and unweathered and looks like a 17 yr olds, ha ha. Now look at the two photos, and look at the difference in the colours, they were taken minutes apart in exactly the same place and there is a distinct difference.

Still haven't touched the snowball blocks.!!!!!!!!
