Granny ripple.

Hello!

8 more sleeps to go,

8 more sleeps till Christmas,

8 more sleeps till the big fat fellow, comes down your chimney, and leaves you presents, and drinks your beer,

8 more sleeps till Christmas.

Every morning at 7:30 this song plays ( obviously with a different number!!)

It is now firmly stuck in my head, on a continuous loop! Grrrrrrrr!

Well on to other things.

We had a power cut the other evening.

Apart from being cold, it was quite a lot of fun.

Having to use the hob to make tea and hot chocolate.

J had never experienced a power cut before. Lucky boy!

We played cards, told stories of how things have changed since P and I were kids.

It was nice to have the time together.

I've been learning how to work the granny ripple pattern.

A couple of frustrating false starts!

Starting to get the hang of it.

Next it was time to take the plunge, and do it for real.

Yay it worked!

It's a little bit smaller than our bed, so by the time I add the border, it should fit.The pattern is a mixture of 2 other patterns I found. I will try write up a pattern with photos, but I'm not sure how long it will take. The pattern isn't hard, just a bit fiddly at the beginning, but once you're past that it flows beautifully.

Till next time.
