Phewwww!

My last post was rather dreary, I’d just finished a piece and it didn’t turn out quite as I expected.  I will admit I normally crochet every day but I didn’t yesterday, the top I made for my mum didn’t look any better (to me) come morning!

Anyway today I plucked the courage to take it over.  I said to my mum ‘Be honest mum, if you’re not going to wear it my mother in law would be glad of it, I’ll be gutted if you don’t like it but I’d be gutted if you pretended you did too!’ She promised she would be completely honest, and she opened the gift bag…….

SHE LOVED IT!

I’m so, so pleased! It’s given me confirmation that I’m not too bad at crocheting, I did finish the top off with one little button on the bottom right hand corner, just one of these

And she thought it was a lovely touch, anyway she must of like it because she sent photos of herself wearing it, and dad has plastered it allover Facebook! How embarrassing!

Besides the top I think my mum is gorgeous!

My sister said it looks shop bought…go me!

I’ll join my top together tonight, now I have my confidence back.  

Then I’m starting this for me for my holiday

I have ordered the most gorgeous yarn for it!!! It’s called James C. Brett noodles chunky, oh my!!! It’s very light and almost tubular, I cannot wait!

The pic is for illustration as I’ve ordered it in white, but just to show you incase you’ve not seen it before.
