grey day

It's so very grey here today, There is dust and sand everywhere. It started yesterday and it doesn't look like it's stopping any time soon. Schools closed and some hygiene masks were given out.

Something about grey weather makes me want to sip tea and craft. So I added some bolder rounds to my Wool Eater (or Cotton Eater, I should say). It might look strange now but I think it's heading in the right direction.

My Mum bought this lovely outfit ma sha Allah and she asked me to add a little crochet detail to it. It's probably one of the best things she could ask me to do for her.

I hope she likes it!

A fellow Raveler had some queries about the star stitch pattern, so I'm trying to put some visual clarifications together.


I did manage to get up and get moving and realised that my 9 year old son does a good job motivating me when it comes to working out ma sha Allah. 

These Fig Newton-y slices were made with brown flour when the weather was better. 


Now I have to find things for the kids to do!


I hope the weather is faring well where you are.
