parcel of joy!

look what just arrived in the post!  A parcel of joy for me to crochet up into a shawl ASAP 🙂  and aren’t the colours so pretty?

I’m making good progress with my “straight road squares” for my road play mat

and on the weekend I had time to finish the licorice allsorts baby cot blanket.  Note to self- the pattern says chain 100, I think it would be better to chain 120.  I had to increase the size of the border to make it wide enough for cot size, which makes it longer too.  But I’m more than happy with the finished result, and it’s for sale on my Etsy shop.  Unfortunately it’s not a cheap one due to the cost of the yarn, but the cotton feels beautiful, and I love natural fibres, especially for baby.
