More crochet cuteness!

Hello all and I hope that your week has started well?  There has been awful wind and occasional downpours here - a very disturbed night as it seemed to be gusting round the house! But the one ray of sunshine (!) in all this, is that the clocks here in the UK moved forward an hour on Sunday to change us to British Summer Time - yippee! I just love having that extra daylight. When I was young I can remember my mother hating changing the clocks in winter and the dark evenings and it didn't really bother me then. But as I've got older I completely understand where she was coming from! Much as I enjoy the snuggled evenings, with fires and candles lit, in the winter, I much prefer the extra daylight - even if it's a bit cloudy!

It's also been so nice to start my week on a more relaxed note - as I'm off work for two weeks!  I still tend to get up early, but it's nice not to HAVE to get up - if that makes sense? And also to be able to potter around and enjoy my morning cup of tea without having to rush about!  I'm hoping I can use some of this time to catch up with all the little jobs that need sorting as well.

Anyway, I just wanted to share some crochet with you - I completed another bag made for an order! This was the third 'Attic 24' chunky bag I made (and I'm currently making number 4!).  The first one was mine - and then friends have spotted it and placed orders!  So it's definitely keeping me busy!  They're all made with Stylecraft Special chunky wool, which is lovely to work with and they're all slightly different colourways (with different cotton linings and handle lengths made to order!) but the link to the pattern for them is here.






Hope you like it! A bit of bright, stripy colour for the day! 
I hope your week goes well - and I'm hoping for some crafty time while I'm off work! 
Back soon,
Kim x
