Working the final scallopy edge of The Edge of BB.
The End is in sight.
I have developed a Hookers Injury :: a very stiff joint on my little finger due to waaaaay too much hooky business going on around here.
But like I say, the End is in sight.
I cannot possibly stop now.
So I shall be back soon for a very special ta-dah moment.
Excited?
Moi?
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh words cannot describe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just LOVE your crochet projects! They are so colorful, so happy, so gorgeous!
I recently finished the project that made me learn to crochet: My Babette Blanket.
Your blog is really an inspiration!
Thanks for sharing so beautiful things with us.

Just had another thought - yes 2 in 2 days!! Perhaps there is somebody out there who has a small amount of the required colour and make of wool they can let you have? Worth asking perhaps? Sorry but I haven't - otherwise I'd be asking for your address to post it to you!
Hope you manage to finish off BB soon and looking forward to seeing it.

Can't wait to see BB finished. It is so exciting. Have been practising the ripply ripply one it works! You are very clever to be able to explain it all so clearly.
Have you planned a new project yet?

Oh, how wonderful! It's looking gorgeous. Take care of your finger though, crafting injuries can plague you for ages if you don't rest them properly!

Breathtaking and gorgeous - I cannot wait for the 'ta da' moment! I've just started my scallops on my bb/summer garden granny afghan, I am racing to the finish with you! My injury is on my left index finger, I seem to have a permanent red crease now from the yarn sliding over it continuously, lol!

Bummer. I got one of those hooking injuries (tennis elbow) about 6 monthes ago. Ended up in PT for about 6 weeks. Those breaks we have to take can be pretty tough on us addicted hookers. ICE,ICE,ICE..... That's the first thing they had be do was put my elbow in a bucket of ice waters. I much preferred the heated rice bag with a cup of tea, but they said that we not as good initially. Hang in there.
