A Granny a Day.......

I grabbed out my bag full of granny squares that I had started back in the seventies for this granny - a - long and not sure if I will use any of them.

Some are very sad!
I cut the ends of the knots in some of the early ones-no going back from there.  I did weave in the ends on some later ones, but its obvious that I used 2 different size hooks to make them.  I think.... that I used a 3.75mm for the early ones and used the 3.75mm and a 4.0mm for the later ones; some of the colour combos are in the category of "what was I thinking". I also raided my 8ply stash to add to the bundle.  No shortage of wool there, but you can notice a distinct colour preference and not many brights in the lot, so although I swore I was only going to use up the stash I feel a visit to the Bendigo Woolen Mill coming up.  (you can't have too much wool can you)???

A begining......

Everything has to start somewhere and after waffling about starting a blog. Here it is! Trouble was I was trying to be too clever and come up with a catchy name like all those fantastic blogs I see on the web.  Thats not me, I don't do clever very well.  So ... its simply Cate, the name my friends and family have called me for years.  It fits. What you see is what you get with me, don't do drama or artifice and really appreciate honesty in people.

The final catalyst for me getting off my bum and starting this is that I wanted to join the "granny a day" at http://meetmeatmikes.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/granny-day-2012.html and I need a blog address.  So a thank you for the requirement to have this address.  I'll take whatever prod is necessary to get moving.

So now to sign up for the group and start looking at how to do more than just put words up on this site.

Catch you all next time
