The cookies look soo yummy! I could buy the book just to get this one recipe ;-). Wow, the little crochet bag is fantastic! What a beautiful color, perfect for this pretty pattern. I think I have seen it in written form somewhere on the web too, must have been called the Star Stitch or similar.

Your crochet is so very lovely. That photo full of blue squares -- oh my! Delectable. And the pink stitch ... I'm gonna have to learn that one. The zippered bag is adorable and useful.

Your blue colour palette is great, I just started working on a completely different pattern, but similar colours.

(I remember that it went out at Christmastime, too.) Hope it is dry where you are and that your electricity is on. Also, thank you so much for your comments on my blog post. I know I tend to whine. Perhaps my creativity is fueled by my mundane day-to-day struggles. The blue and green yarn you are using reminds me of the sea. I love your determination in translating the pattern pattern.

Weve had the electricity off as well, for 26 hours at one point with an hour back on somewhere in the middle of the night, I have to admit with the boys all having various gadgets it would have been useful to have some sort of campingaz charger! I'm thankful it wasn't off longer as it was bad enough for that long, crocheting by candlelight proved difficult! Our half term is just beginning and I'm so looking forward to not having packed lunches and school runs to do, but then there will be no excuse for the cleaning now!*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10821840185143701654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270442039937122804.post-6943490034320264542014-02-21T22:16:44.764+00:002014-02-21T22:16:44.764+00:00Sorry to hear the powers been off, looks like you&...Sorry to hear the powers been off, looks like you've been making the most of it, the blue squares are so tranquil and I just love the candy floss stitch, here's hoping for better weather, we still have no power in the summerhouse and garage (where the freezer and washing machine are) as water got into the fused box over a week ago now, so I'm hoping for sunshine <br />Clare xClarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982560561057556641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270442039937122804.post-57918000139114454312014-02-21T21:14:07.290+00:002014-02-21T21:14:07.290+00:00Aargh!

Honestly, they're so serene, I could gaze at that picture all day.<br /><br />I empathise re the power cuts - we've had two this week, one of two hours, the other of five. My daughter and I pulled coats over our pyjamas and walked the half mile to the local electricity substation and did our best to chivvy the chaps into restoring our power pronto. I daresay it didn't make the slightest bit of difference but we felt quite proactive!<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend.<br /><br />Heather xPink Milkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05664644078460614884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270442039937122804.post-37623841513112525102014-02-21T19:52:55.656+00:002014-02-21T19:52:55.656+00:00Thank you, Helen.

Eeek! It was all right until we had to change the gas canister on Saturday evening but from then on it all went downhill and not in a good way! Managed to burn the end of my nose while anxiously sniffing the thing for leaks into the bargain and with candles out of necessity going everywhere, , I feel I was lucky not to explode the whole kitchen! Fear not however, a replacement has been located and acquired against the next power failure! The Dutch book is a crocheter's dream and I am sure you will make short work of deciphering it. The "witte ronde bloemenpoef" is exactly what you envisage and a delight! You'll love it! Inspiration on every page! And delivery from bol.com in Utrecht to the UK is very prompt!

I am intrigued by your Dutch crochet book. I might order just because I want to make the "witte ronde bloemenpoef", it sounds nice and I assume it to be a pouffe with a crochet flower motif. I may well be completely wrong... I always think I understand Dutch because it sounds a lot like my native Swiss German. I am often wrong. Your tea cup is beautiful.
