The Cricket season will start soon, I have been told by the experts at home and this means hours watching the games on Sundays. This also means (to me!) hours of crochet time and I have already a blanket project planned in my head for those long, hopefully sunny, lazy afternoons. I don't understand much about the rules of the game but my Granny stripes blanket was created essentially on "cricket" time last year and I am grateful for this great British sport...
The new Kim Hargreaves book is due out very soon and this, to me, is always a major event in my knitter's life. As usual I can't wait to find out her new designs for this Spring/Summer collection. I am trying to race through my Vintage cardi's sleeves to free my needles just in case they are needed urgently...
Ah the joys of separate hemispheres, here the football is starting, but I shall be avoiding it like the plague. Even if I had a blanket I wouldn't go!!

I can remember, that it was while the football games last summer that I made my ripple blanket, or better said the biggest part of it. We don´t usually watch football, only for EMs and WMs, and I am so very glad for having knitting or crochet at my side then, otherwise there would be a lot of very boring evenings for me. You are quite happy for having the Cricket games each summer! A busy needle, a not so much interesting TV program so your mind could wander here and there, the sun shining brightly, ice cream and berries and refreshing drinks, what a wonderful time to look forward to.
