Little Bag #2

Little Bag #2 is HOTH (hot off the hook)


A fun and quick project that kept me interested and occupied in between the unpacking of my book boxes, and I'm still re-making some more flat-pack shelves for the craft room, a new arm chair has arrived for that room too (thank you Tony), and he is up in the roof space at the moment getting the aerial wires sorted for the tv. Evidently the junction box thingy that he bought that boosts the satellite signal isn't working.

A new freeform crochet project is in the early planning stage. (New Leaf FFAL on Ravelry)
My thought for this is "Spring is in the air" (it is here is NZ), new life abounds in the gardens, trees are budding up nicely, flowers are emerging, and the Spring hare are having fun in the field behind our garden.
These yarns made the first cut in my grab-box for this project. I'm trying not to include any blue, green or purple in this first part of the project, but I see a pale lilac mohair (bottom right) has crept into the box while I wasn't looking.


Anyway, lots more to do today, so I'm off now to explore more boxes and fill up those shelves.



Happy Stitching

  1. Hi Cyra, love the bag. I have two boxes still unpacked and I have been here two years! Hey I am doing the FFAL too! I have become slightly adicted to it (see my post). Did you have strong winds this weekend? We did, at least it is calm today.

    1. Hi Sharon, yes I saw you in the FFAL. Yes strong winds again today here. My dd place got shaken with the 7.1 earthquake in the Bay of Plenty. Hubby was staying there at the time too, but he slept right through it, lol. Daughter said everyone in the street was outside after the shake at 4.30am wondering if there was going to be another one.

  6. Your bag is so cute and I love all the colors! We're just going into Fall here in the U.S. and it is one of my favorite seasons. I can't wait to see the FFAL projects with all those lovely fibers. Have a great week and I hope you get the aerial "thingy' working! LOL!
