And that’s the answer to my last question about the way we crochet!  Thanks so much for all the comments for the ‘This Way, or That Way‘ post…it was fascinating.  Opinions and observations varied so much, but in the end I think we can come to two conclusions…

No, I’m not the only one, I’m in a small (but select!) group.  and secondly, in the end, it really doesn’t matter,  the end result is the same.  The most important thing is, we do it and we enjoy it.  And Michelle, who has been afraid to be seen crocheting in public I say, come out of the closet , Michelle, and be proud!

I’ve not been crocheting much this week, but working on my needle felting.  I haven’t like to say, but the more observant of you might have spotted a countdown on the side bar (and, also shuddered and turned away!) for THAT time of the year.  I also have the Pick’n'Mix Market coming up again in November, so I’m focusing my mind on the seasonal aspect of the stall.

I won’t worry you now with robins etc, but I’d love to introduce a new member of the Planet Penny farm.  You’ve no doubt met the flock…

…but I decided I really needed a cow.  And here she is…

She hasn’t got a name yet…what do you think?

I also finished some fingerless gloves I found lurking at the bottom of my knitting bag, left over from last winter.  They came in very handing for the lovely beach walk Higgins and I did yesterday morning…

I’m linking this to the Handmade Monday group, organised by  Wendy of 1st Unique Gifts for Handmade Monday where you can  browse though the list of other crafty bloggers.  Do go and have a look.

Also, if you’ve read this and have enjoyed it, if you like the blog, I’d be really grateful if you could give me your vote.  I’ve been nominated for the Dorset Cereals Little Blog Award, you’ll find the link at the top of the righthand side bar too. Voting will also enter you in to a prize draw for some Dorset Cereal goodies so it’s a winner all round!

Well, I can hear the washing machine coming to the end of it’s final spin, I’d better put my domestic hat on and head out to the washing line…

I’ll leave you with a view of our beautiful beach…

…where, with a little help, you can just see a seal!

See you soon! x
