Catalogue


This isn't the most aesthetically pleasing photograph, as none of the colours profit much from being near each other; but it's a visual list of things I like at the moment.

Clockwise, from the top left corner:
Tea, specifically, Dilmah tea, which really is as good as the packaging promises it will be.
A new fountain pen, so that I can read my own handwriting.
Very pretty wrapping paper.
A stencil for labelling discs, so that I'll know what's on them without having to guess.

And in the background, two ripple stitch scarves, one in 4-ply acrylic and the other in DK wool. I've (finally) fallen for crochet, partly because of all the beautiful ripple blankets I'm seeing everywhere. But I'm far too lazy/busy to make a whole blanket, and I can't bear the thought of yet another unfinished project. Scarves seem do-able.

Wow, that stencil looks neat. And your scarves are lovely. There are a few things that crochet is really good at, and ripples are definitely one of them.

I've made two summer blankets for my girls exactly with that pattern.
But i used cotton.
It looks very cute.

Where did you get the CD Stencil?
Very cool.

I found the stencil at my local supermarket! But once they sold out, I never saw them again.
