Crocheting

Am back to crocheting! Have decided to go for a scarf (or a throw if I don't get bored) made up for crocheted squares. I have some bamboo wool to use up in pretty pastels and am planning to find a wool shop in San Fransisco or Seattle to pick up some more while on the road.

A lady at work got me back onto crocheting by giving me a magazine on knitting, we got talking and 45 min later (and after admiring her beautiful half knitted sock project) I got a new friend and lots of blog links. It is a shame that I am so rubbish at actually knitting and crocheting. Maybe I will improve with time...

Beef stew

While we golfed the slow cooker cooked us a beef stew, wonderfully filling with buckwheat and root veggies cooked in a stock based on our home made ale. Should be even better tomorrow when its left over time!
