Ruby's is 'n skatkis

Ag demmit. Daar undo ek die hele mooie stuk wat ek skryf oor Ruby's. Weeeejy.

Maar dit gaan oor die pienk pienk habedashery daar in Fehrsenstraat, aan die buitekant van Brooklyn-sentru, Pienker as salmpienk kan jy nie kry nie, van buite op die vensters tot binne op elke kleinste liewe rakkie, als is pienk geverf! En binne kan jy enigiets kry. Wol garing penne teddie-oë hakies speldjies - enigiets te doen met knip stik haak of plak.
Ek is daarheen vir 'n nr 10 hekelpen en pienk satynband. Ek is daaruit met 'n SAK wol en R300 minder (en geen hekelpen en geen satynband...)

Daar is supermooi kantoen...





En hierdie tweed vir iets warm








en Elle se mooi Retro-reeks (die ene heel links gaan vingerlose handskoene word)





En Elle Supergold wat sooo lekker hekel




EN kyk hierdie wolmengsel...kyk net al daai mooi bloue bymekaar met die rooi.





Maar ek is nie met een van daardie huistoe nie. Nee, ek het hierdie gekoop vir 'n Cowl Scarf vir Ouma Nettie (groen) en vir my (blou) :






en hierdie dalk vir skoonma?





en hierdie vir my manne





en hierdie vir die koerantverkoper.





Mmm, baie serpe om te hekel. Maar eers moet ek gou nog hierdie week deur hierdie stapeltjie kom vir Babatjie M se kombers! Blok vanaand die laaste lotjie, en dan moet ek Lucy se Join-as-you-go bemeester.







Ruby's is a treasure chest

This is about Ruby's, treasure chest in my town, where you can find just about anything haberdashery-like that you would ever want. I went in for a nr 10 hook and some satin binding...I came out with various balls of yarn for scarfs...Marco for me and Granny, Toledo for the MIL, Rustica for my Man and Boys and some acrylic Semptai for the newspaper seller. No hook, no binding. But first, I must throught the pile of squares for a Baby Blanket and then master Lucy's join-as-you-go!

Hi , I love your summer garden squares . This pattern is one of my faves :0)
You are doing so well with your new hobby , just wondered if you had noticed crochet has a front and a back as your squares in the picture are different ways up . It's always worth checking they are the same way before joining . Hope this helps .

Thanks Jacquie, I saw the light at some stage during joining :-D - luckily just one or two (neer knew that before!) (Photo taken while I was deciding how to put it together). But now I'm faced with the decision - shall I frog or not, 'cause I ran out of yarn! Can remove a few and make outside rows with red edging. What to do, what to do?
