yarn along - acorns........................

It's time to join in with Ginny's yarn along and Chrissie's made by hand link to share this week's project. I have been searching through my stash for autumnal shades of yarn as I wanted to knit and crochet some acorns (I haven't gone mad or maybe not more than usual ) When I was in London visiting Kate I bought a lovely big glass jar I wasn't sure what to fill it with but now I have decided on acorns.............

It's amazing what you can find when you google acorns I found a lovely free pattern here and here. I have had great fun making these lovely acorns



I haven't got a new book to share with you this week as I've been spending my spare time planning what to make for Christmas gifts and I am still loving pouring over my Belle and Boo book for inspiration.


I hope you are having a good week and that you will take time to pop over to Ginny's blog and catch up with the other yarn alongers here

Talk soon x

  15. It's all so adorable. Have just caught up with your previous posts too, such fun and harmony. I miss picking blackberries, here they are sprayed as they're considered a noxious weed! But when I was a child they were allowed to grow free , I have such great memories of blackberries and cream afternoon teas.
