Read all about me in French!


My pals in the Spinners and Weavers of South West France have just refreshed their website. You can find it here http://spinandweaveswfrance.fr/mai09_maryhawkins.html

I must have been talking a lot on that day as I do not remember so many photos being taken and I am still staggered that I managed to get all that lot AND clothes and books for a fortnight in my 15kg allowance with Ryanair!

Soma Cube


Finished it yesterday. Load of fun, but bits of foam everywhere from trying to make curvy bath sponges fit a box shape.

Hexaflexagon Cushion












Very much inspired at KCG AGM by Pat Ashforth and Steve Plummer's cushion. Delighted when I went in my local wool shop for nine shades of yarn to find she's having a summer sale of 20% off. So I bought Sirdar Calico, a 60/40 cotton/acrylic mix. The project calls for 3 main colour families, 3 shades in each. 18 triangles, mainly double crochet, don't have to think about them, and so easy for taking on a bus or train. Pattern is from my pals at www.woollythoughts.com

I've taken on a new "job" which will tie me to the computer more than usual, so need an easy project for the times I can relax.
