3RD POST FOR THIS MORNING!


Afternoon update..managed 17colours bright and pastel have 3possibles left to do but need more shades plus purple and green colours
More granny squares..l liked the cream flower GS l did a couple of days back best so l've done all the bright colours but have run out of the cream wool!...annoying with another 7 pastel shades still to do and all the centre colours l have too...lots to make that'll keep me busy!


This project will hopefully end the 'experimenting' for now anyway, so l will have to decide on what make of pure wool l'm going to buy.....
1. a large colour choice will be the most important consideration
2. cost of course and
3. how soft and cosy it will be

FED UP OF THE SQUEEKY ACRYLIC......
After using 100% acrylic because it was easy to find, lots of colours and cheap......it's faults are beginning to annoy....

When l or it gets warm for instance it squeeks...just like cotton wool and l hate that but pure wool and the range of colours l want will be expensive and as l'm about to pay for HERS a large range of pure wool is something l cant really afford this month maybe l'll do the fabric strip crochet for a couple of weeks
