I know what you mean and it seems they have all been assigned automatically to me because they were all waiting for me when I got back after my morning walk. If my husband was working I would understand but he is retired too so he can see to them once a week. I now have to get that across to him! :-) A xCrafty in the Medhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365932964481050936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-47021882647378365172020-12-02T19:47:01.695+01:002020-12-02T19:47:01.695+01:00Good on you getting all that walking done.

I've never tried inserting a video yet so good luck with that, I'm sure it will be easy enough (says she who's never even tried haha) and well done on the mosaic crochet, now you can see how easy it is but yes you're right it will be a bit bulky, ideal for a cot cover or play mat but not as a wrap around blanket. (Thank you for the shout out x) Your flowers are beautiful!

A tropical looking haven with all those palms and other plants. I have tried mosaic crochet, but prefer plain patterns or granny squares as I can only do a little at a time before my wrist starts to ache. I admire your crocheting skills.

I'll have another go soon as I love the look of it. Those RAOCKs are gorgeous. I hope the recipients appreciate the hard work and love you put in to them.
