Choc chick.

Just a little something you might like to make to brighten your Easter Day!

My great niece P. loves white chocolate. Not that she is allowed much - just a few buttons broken up in a tiny pot handed to her by her Nanny A as a special treat for being a good girl (she is only 16 months).

So, for Easter I thought I would look out for a little white chocolate egg to hide beneath the cute chick cosy that I crocheted on "chat day Saturday".

It took me a while to do it as I haven't crocheted for ages really and I had forgotten the abbreviations. Of course Wipso was able to give me full instructions (she knows everything that woman!!) and after a few attempts and a bit of unravelling, I eventually managed it. Cute isn't it?

My latest rainy day activity.

A super little parcel came through the post yesterday from Amazon. A snip at £7!!

It's called 100 flowers to knit and crochet by Lesley Stanfield

It is a beautifully illustrated book and is just a joy to thumb through. As its title says, 100 gorgeous little flowers and even minibeasts and fruit and veg. with photos and instructions on how to make them.

Now I can knit and crochet so I hope at least some of them are within my limited capabilities.

I have scrounged wool oddments from my sewing sister so I am all set up ready to go.

Mmm now my main problem, speaking as a Libran here, is which one do I choose first.....
