Tracy said on Facebook....
Tracy Wigglebottom It's slow going with a 3.55mm needle but it looks incredible. I had a crowd round me in the GP's asking all about it last week. I then went into the chemist and the pharmacist came out to see me because she had heard about it from others customers. They wasn't quite sure what I was doing, how had such a small needle produced that blanket. The general though was, that it was beautiful, like underdulating ripples and I must have a lot of patience.


has been making lots of projects from the new book too and keeping them safe in a fabulous new basket
along with the Spinning Top Hex.

A totally random selections of all my small balls of left overs are going into this project...one a day until it's as big as I want it to be...
there is also a square and a Diamond version too,
I picked the hex as my favourite .
