Chrochet and Christening
It seeped into my conciousness rather too late that this lunchtime we were at a christening and that a gift would probably be required! So, with no time or inspiration for bought gifts, it was random delving into the yarn stash time! I came out with a lovely powder blue and a cream and then did a second random delve, this time into the pattern stash. The results are on Duke’s camera 
so you will have to settle for vague descriptions! I made a blue and cream striped jacket from this pattern (but without buttons - didn’t have any, so I went for ties instead!) I had a couple of false starts with this one but once I actually read the pattern properly it went okay! Mind you, I did deviate a little in as much as I like less baggy sleeves so fiddled round a bit with only working 3 sides of teh hexagon for a couple of rows to allow for enough depth and width without adding huge amounts of bagginess to the sleeves. It worked up really fast. Then, because I still had yarn left I did a "body warmer" that crosses over at the front. It was sleeveless because there wasn’t enough yarn for sleeves…..
So, then I had a clear concience to go and coo over young Oliver who was remarkably well behaved for a small boy in a dress 
And in an atempt to get used to this idea of planning a whole year in advance….. this week our targets are…..
a bit of maths, English and reasoning.
A lot of stories.
A serious attempt at finding the floor in her bedroom.
Some cooking.
Some swimming
