I needed another “on the go” project.

Just a bit of meditative back & forth with a big hook & some lovely silky soft bamboo.

I’m calling it the peacock blanket.

Do pop in & add your link if you’re playing along this week.

    Oh Kirsty those colours are GORGEOUS… and lucky you 'on the go' again, to somewhere special? Somewhere sunny…?! (I hope so… then I can live through you…!)

    I dyed some bamboo thread a while ago it was lovely and soft. Haven't done anything with it yet .. will get there. Hopefully this week I will have time to visit the other creative spaces, school holiday's is still in full swing and it is my son's birthday on the weekend and the World just stops for that.

    Hi kirsty. I just had a look at your calender that "nobody would look at". kids are so good for the ego. I love August (the very comfy looking glasses) and November (the cocktail) and what is in your mouth in Feb??? Tell your son not to understimate the appeal of quirkiness!!!

    ..Ahem… if you need another "on the go" project I know of a GREAT unfinished /possibly never to be completed or perhaps in time for her moving out blanket I started for Busy about 1000 years ago…it is crocheted, there is a picture of it in my header, it still looks exactly the same 6 months later…

    Yes I need an on-the-go project myself. Today I found myself at the Dr's surgery for half an hour WITH NOTHING TO DO! What a massive waste of crafty opportunity!

    Such scrumptious colours!

    I just love bamboo yarn, I made some hats for my bub before she was born (and they all turned out to be waaaay to small), and would just rub them on my cheek to feel their softness.
