Pretty Lucy Flower

Hello there!

This week is a little strange, because my gorgeous grand-daughter is off on a school trip. Yes! The first ever Week Away From Home. Doing Outdoor Pursuits. She's only 11 - and a bit - okay, nearly 12 (how did that happen?). Her Mum, my wonderful daughter, is of course completely in a state of

shock/denial about it all and I haven't dared to speak to her this week in case the whole teetering edifice of "It's fine, really" topples to the ground. We are such wimps, the pair of us. ANYWAY - she's coming home tomorrow and will no doubt be full of fabulous tales of derring-do. To welcome her back I have made a pretty flower wall-hanging for her bedroom. Thank you Lucy of attic24 for the pattern.

I have to tell you that Rowan handknitting cotton comes in the loveliest subtle shades and is excellent for this kind of project. You can get it on-line from Art Of Yarn  -who also do lots of other yarns too. Did you know there's now a yarn made from sugar cane? Wow. First hemp, then bamboo, now sugar. Are we going to have small furry animals chowing down on our cardigans? Yay. Here panda, panda, panda.
