A little catch up!

Hello, Lovelies!

Oh my hook, I can't quite believe that it is almost 3 months since I last updated my Blog! I have a good excuse though...Karoo Vintage... which took pretty much every waking minute designing, correcting, typing up the pattern, taking all the tutorial pics, making the videos, then all the final work of uploading videos to Youtube, getting the Parts to Ravelry, updating Social Media...I felt like Shiva of the many arms!? Talk about brain drain! A huge  ❤THANK YOU❤ goes to my Group Admins who fielded and still are fielding questions, who are posting up lovely pictures, creating Albums and generally running the Group while I get on with wiggling a stick about in balls of delicious Award Winning Yarn!  (  isn't it fantastic and so well deserved that Scheepjes won the British Award for Best Luxury Yarn!? )

I had every intention of keeping the Blog updated and correctly corresponding each post with each Part of Karoo as it was released. Hahaha...you know what they say about roads, good intentions, and Hell! At some point ( the one that keeps receding into the horizon ) I will complete the Karoo journey because I really cannot ever rest properly knowing I didn't take you with me to visit some of the most interesting and lovely little "dorpies" ( = Villages ). If you would like to see some of the AMAAAAZZZIIINNG colourways that Karoo is sporting you can visit HERE and HERE. I will keep updating as they are completed.

I am in a celebratory mood and have been since I wove in the very last yarn end on Karoo! Just in time too seeing as Summer is almost on our doorstep. Already the Sun seems to shine brighter and definitely hotter, the days are lengthening and I am wearing my favourite pair of red flip flops! As you can see, they are a little threadbare in places because I have worn them almost constantly through two Summers so far. My aim is to wear them until there's nothing left but the uppers. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

Believe it or not but I am not right in the head. I was looking forward to some downtime in the garden, not crocheting, just relaxing and pulling up the weeds that have taken over my little garden while I had my head bent over Karoo for the past 3.5 months. This is what was on my mind, other than designing the next Part for Karoo...the entire time. So what do I do immediately Karoo was washed, carefully folded up and put into storage for next Winter's use? Yep... get stuck right into designing a cushion cover. It's official then...my name is Jen Tyler and I am a crochet addict.

If you'd like to take a squiz at the latest pattern them please head on over to Ravelry

I hope you Lovelies have a fabulous weekend wherever you are in Crochetland, I'm off to weed the garden ( code for crochet, crochet, and more crochet! ).
