Because I’m fed up of having a really fluffy patch of carpet near my sofa I’ve come up with a cunning plan and fetched something from the kitchen for my ball of yarn. It’s a very stylish yarn bowl, don’t you agree? It’s working well and actually the ball unravels with ease, without constant tugging.
I shall have to get back on to my very good bloggy friend Trish of Made By Patch and see if her father is going to make me a super wooden yarn bowl like he made her. You’d think a lottery winner could buy anything she wanted wouldn’t you?
So, I finished Brian the v stitch scarf / cowl the other day (I had just 7″ left to do in the top pic) and decided to continue something which would keep me as toasty as possible while I hooked. As I sit writing this in the gloom, at 430pm, I realise that it’s never really become light today, it’s Britain’s infamous iron sky.
Still, there was porridge for breakfast, homemade butternut and sweet potato soup with crispy bacon pieces sprinkled on top. I may push the boat out and have a low cal chocolate coconut drink next. Comfort food and drinks along with cosy crochet are the benefits of autumn.
Are you warm or chilly? What is keeping you cosy?
I won £25 on the lottery Saturday night. Woo hoo!
The Little Room of Rachell 
Haha congrats on your win! it’s all worth having :) Lovely crochet projects, I’ve also given up on waiting for the sun today, rather than warm or chilly I’m plain old soggy after the heavens opened on my way home. Good old England :)
Oh oops, cold is one thing but soggy is another….it’s rained lots today here. Lots of cups of tea help.
Grey skies all day today here too – and butternut squash soup at lunchtime! Cosy crochet on the agenda this evening.
Ha ha that was a snap then!
We’ve got the fire lit so nice and cosy in our lounge at the moment!
Cosy with bells on!
Well, I think that being creative is part if who you are my der Rachel and with that being said using the bowl was a wonderful creative idea … I think I will try it sometime. I live te colors in yr blanket and so, so happy you win the lottery … It does not really matter how much, but the feeling you won something is so happy :)
Have a great weekend my dear friend .
And you too, thank you Taci.
We’ve gone straight from late winter to full-on summer, so I’ll send you some :-)
Well I feel like we did have a fab summer and so am not complaining exactly as it’s proper autumn weather for this time of year, but I did meet a friend at the pub tonight and leapt over puddles because my boot has a holey sole….so I am a little bit!
20°C, blue sky and sun in Berlin – at least yesterday. Grey sky, heavy clouds, and rain this morning but still not cold. Last night we’ve had squash nonetheless. Can’t get enough of fall’s comfort food.
Isn’t it comforting, just the thing.
Can’t believe I missed that not so subtle hint lol!!! I may send Grandad Patch the link to this blog post if that’s ok? Just so he can realise how coveted they are ;)
Definitely! I need a large one to sit on the floor and take a full ball of Stylecraft so it unwinds with ease. I’m happy to pay for it of course.
I need one too! I shall give him a spare ball for size next time I see him ;)
