Ready? Get set........... Go


Today has been very productive and after yesterday a great pick me up. I had a shift today at Tesco meaning I wasn't able to do any breathe work during the day but this evening I have done quite a lot. I met my target for barnicals as well as started making the beard for elder number 2.


10 x Green (Double Knit) 100% Acrylic Wool using a 5.5mm crochet hook.  This was an easy wool to work with as it didn't fray and was soft on the fingers. It looped over the hook well and didn't split off.

Continued crocheting chain stitch using string (approximately half a metre) I found using the 5mm hook made a skinnier line of chain instead of the usual 8mm hook I work with. However it was much trickier to work with as the loops were tighter and put more pressure on my wrist.



Started knitting scarf for the beard using Robin Double Knit - 100% Acrylic.  40 stitches were cast on using 7.5mm knitting needles.  I havnt knitted for many years now and hope this will be a bit like riding a bicycle, once learnt never forgotten. The stitch used is a basic knit stitch. Once I have learnt this stitch again and become more confident, I can progress to using more intermediate level stitches
