Four Exhibitions

Ashmoleon Museum A few weeks ago I was in Oxford, the day I delivered the slippers, and I decided to spend some time in the Ashmolean Museum.

Just published the pattern for this blanket that I made eight and a half years ago. I called it my Spectrum blanket, beccause I chose colours to match those of the full spectrum of visible light.
First five rows of my latest blanket. #blanket #crochet #crochetblanket #grannysquares #multicolour #rainbow #flowersquare
Just finished this Rainbow Knot baby blanket.
Found this on my Rosemary bush when I went to pick some for lunch. I think it is a tiger moth.

Finished the main part of my Celtic Knot Rainbow baby blanket. Wasn't sure if to add a border but think I will.
