Crochet . . . and a new project (or two)

I'm on a roll with finishing projects at the moment .. .. .. and starting new ones
With Christmas as a deadline I had no excuses not to finish this wee op shop gem


My Aunt who donates her time to the local church op shop sent me a rather large bag of wool from her shop.  
Bits n bobs left over from projects.


Granny squares using the flecked grey as the main colour with one burst of colour round 


Running out of flecked grey right at the end 
My friend LOVED her op shop wool crochet blanket (even sleeping with it Christmas night!)
And I LOVE how all those unwanted bits n bobs came together to make a gift.


Balls of wool purchased in the Boxing Day sales 
A new summer crochet is project planned
(ummmm they weren't actually on sale, but that doesn't matter - right?!)


Hookin in the sun first thing in the morning 
*note the pj's still on - yes I am in holiday mode


Hookin whilst catching up with Coronation Street on demand 


Hookin whilst some rubbish is on the tv .. .. ..

There is also my Crochet Mood Blanket to keep me hookin throughout the year

Linking in with the lovely Max at Op Shop Show Off
