There's a bit of a new routine around this neck of the woods. My girls are currently on school holidays, and hubby is at home a lot, still in recovery-phase and I have set up a morning "office" in bed!! I grab a bowl of cereal, unplug my laptop, get my crochet blanket and hop back into bed for ohhhh a couple of hours!! I know, it's utterly disgraceful (other Very Important Things are not getting done), but it is such a snoozy, fabulous way to start the day and I'm making the most of it because I know it won't last!!
Want to see another photo? We haven't spent quite enough time looking at these bobbles yet have we?
Okay, so some are a little less "bobbly" than others. I'll let you in on a little secret, after I had finished my complete row of bobbles and the next row, I did in fact notice a slight mistake with each and every bobble. Yes, each and every one, which means at least it's consistent, and I have decided not to undo the rows and look on this as a learning curve, or a learning bobble.
The good thing here is that I am learning new stitches, undoing where there must be undoing and most importantly, being okay about things that are okay but not perfect. I think I'm growing!!! There would have been a time when less-than-perfect would have been rolled up in a ball and shoved under the bed never to be seen or heard of again.
Okay, I'm off to learn the outline cluster pattern. Wish me luck.
Hope you have a very happy, bobbly kind of day.

Yeeeees, you did it Trudy, I had every confidence in you, look at what you already crocheted, it's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAs for the office in bed, nothing at all disgraceful about it.......your life you live it a you see fit and enjoy every moment snuggled under the doona.
Yes, I'm feeling a little envious, jet lag still hanging around up at 6.15 am and I loooove my bed!!
Beautiful, sunny day here in N E Vic, hope it's the same over your way.
Here's to bobbles, yay!!

I LOVE it! Can't wait to see the finished creation! Ada :)
ReplyDeleteAaah, bobbles, one thing I didn't tackle yet. Good for you that you did though, the give the blanket yet another look (like every row does!).
ReplyDeleteBrilliant bobbles, well done! I cheated with mine and made them in the same colour as the background as I couldn't quite manage to hide the coloured threads - now I'm feeling shamed! Maybe I'll have another go...

Your bobbles are perfect. The blanket is beginning to look great. Isn't it so rewarding when you perfect a stitch that you've been dreading?
ReplyDeleteYour bobbles look pretty perfect to me, and that blanket is coming along nicely. I love the colours you chose. x
ReplyDeleteI agree, a couple of housrs sneaky crochet time in bed is wonderful...it is what I do on a Sunday as OH gets up and goes playing golf early so I crochet, on my own, with Radio 4, mug of tea and a nest of pillows and blankets...thank goodness for teen age children and not toddlers!!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking really good. Bobbles are always a bit of a bu**er...
ReplyDeleteOh your bobbles are gorgeous ;) Love the sound of your routine, sounds ideal, under the covers is my fave place. My current want is to learn to crochet, it'll happen one day ;) An adorable post ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all your lovely, bobbly comments : -) I'm always encouraged by what you say.
