So.. this is what happened...

Well as you may be aware, I finally completed the addition of the final motif to my current commission. The plan was to complete the border last saturday evening but...

The family and I went to watch the kayaking and canoeing olympic finals. I had debated the matter of whether or not to carry any crochet with me. 

without much struggle, [as if there was any doubt] I came to the decision that I would carry something the question being what?

The commission?

 No too big.  My experiment [below]?

No i was not feeling inspired by it.

So, I took my new yarn with me. you remember it?

We had to travel to Windsor. This took about 1hr 30 mins

On The way, I managed to make quite a few granny squares. I was so excited!!! I could not stop myself. The return journey was very uncomfortable due to beautiful sunny weather however the extra heat of having wool in my lap could not stop me. I already knew where my journey was leading me. I knew i was in for 'crochet satisfaction'

On the trip back to London, I started the next stage and all I can say is WoW!!!!!!!! Not only is it big, it is also gorgeous. It makes me feel like I might actually be good at crochet!!!  :-)D Enjoy the pictures. I hope I have enough Yarn to make it what it should be but gosh I love it!!!!!!!

   
I think I have about 800g left but I think I will have to go and buy some more cause I don't think that it is going to be enough.

This is the reason why i never got to the border of my other project. I came home and continued working feverishly in an almost obsessed manner. I had to add the next part of the story. it had to be done before it was lost from my head. until it was done, i would have no rest.  At  my stop point 200g of yarn was already used

So the plan is to carry on with it. it will guide me as it grows. I am constantly amazed by what can be made with a simple granny square.
