Lots of flickr-ing today!!!

The banter on Flickr today was flowing....

it's still mindboggling

to be able to talk to someone

who is thousands of miles away....

with very little time lapse. 

I know,

we have things called 'PHONES,

but I wasn't ON the 'phone,

I was on a photo loading site

that has turned into a

chat room!!!

I even managed to almost insult someone.

Almost,

but not quite!!!

Thank goodness for

BING translator

I apologised in her native tongue,

that's amazing too!

Thank goodness she is a sweet person and gets my humour!!!

So, after the bread and the coffee

and the

clean sheets

and the other boring things

I finished a little

crochet.

I have had the book for maybe two years now

and never attempted to make the block that made me buy it.

I saw someone else mention it on her blog and it reminded me that I had it

so

THREE days ago

or maybe four

I started it.

I ripped it about five times

and then finally

got the pattern in my head

and there it is!!

There are 25 blocks in all

plus

16 smaller joining ones...

I'm not sure

I will ever make the whole blanket.
Plus I don't know how practical it would be
it has lots of "open space"
maybe that's why they show it hanging off an old barn door
in the book!!!!

I also decided that the

Japanese charts are so much easier to "read"

than a bunch of words that run on forever

and then go over to the next page!!!

Funny, how quickly we learn things

and un-learn others.

Well, I better go and get some dinner on the table...

YUCK!!!

....... later

Take care....

I'll post the other motif when I'm done.....maybe!!!
