The Case of the Crochet Envy...

In the middle of a busy little week here, so not much crafting happening but I did manage to get some crocheting done last weekend on our road trip to Devon :


I decided on a cushion cover with Granny Stripes for the back and a collage of Squares for the front, but then I went and read Helen Philipps lovely blog and just one look at the pics of her gorgeous bag gave me a serious case of "the wanties", soooo.... should I stick with Plan A: the Granny cushion cover, or do I follow the inspiration from Helen and make a bag?  (happy, yet puzzled face)

Oh the decisions...  

OR

 I could just make BOTH? (happy smiley face)

Hmmmmm.... (happy, deep-in-thought face)

ps. Do pop over and visit Helen at her blog , I guarantee that you will develop "the wanties" too !

  6. Such gorgeous colours, you clever lady. I've laid my hands on a simple "how-to" book of crochet and intend to relearn what my gran taught me (and I forgot) at least 35 years ago.
