Well hello. How are you all? I am so sorry for my rather long absence. Goodness I have stayed away far too long! I’m sorry. I seem to have been in some kind of slumber when it comes to my lovely PipsRainbow! And life as we all know, can run away with us.

Definitely been a bit of a crazy period in our lives and with one thing or another life seems to have got in the way. I seem to have a variety of reasons for my quietness on here, but as it seems to be a combination of many, I will not bore you with them now! But don’t fear, neither my crochet hook or knitting needles have ever been too far away. Right. Let’s just get down to the yarny business!

So this summer I have been working on a rather exciting project with the incredible Abby from Orchidean Luxury Yarns. Abby approached me a while ago, asking if I would create a crocheted wrapdigan with some colourful single ply yarn. Well, as you can imagine I jumped at the chance. So after many conversations, a load of interesting designs, we came up with this pattern. It’s made up of 80 granny squares & then bordered in a love white yarn, allowing the colours to pop.

What do you think? It’s definitely rather snuggly & would definitely give you a summery boost in those cold winter months. So excited, as Abby has currently got it on her stand at the Ally Pally Knit & Stitch Show. And is selling kits & the pattern too. I think she has a few left, so if you’re quick, you might get your hands on one. She’s on Stand E6 in the Great Hall.

Anyways, I will be sharing it again soon, but now off to bed as I am off to the amazing Ally Pally Knit & Stitch Show tomorrow! Ekk! So excited! Can’t wait to see everyone there & all the amazing stalls!

Right signing off now for an early nights kip! Ekk!!
Zzzzzzzzzzz

As always, happy hooking!

(PS – Promise it won’t be as long next time! Might even share my trip tomorrow!

(PPS – will definitely share all my other lovely yarny work over the summer, soon, too!)
