weekend away highlights

and did I mention that there was heaps of free time on our weekend away for crochet?  I am currently working on an oversized shrug cardigan (same as mine but different colours) for mum, and my other project was another baby shrug, in the pink cotton/bamboo yarn that I ordered.  It turns out the cotton/bamboo is a finer yarn than the sublime cashmere merino silk that I used to make the last one, so even though I worked the size 12-18mo’s, it turned out more like a 6 months size.  I also altered it slightly- I found the pattern very full through the back, so I didn’t work as much increasing in this one, and I think I like it better.  Unfortunately my little friend will not fit it to model it I think though!

And when we were on one of our drives around to look at jettys, we came across this cute scene

a cluster of letter boxes looks very rustic!
