Thanks for all your great comments about growing blueberries! I think you should all go out and buy one or two and we can grow them together, comparing notes as we go. As I mentioned in my reply comments, the tag on the plant said that one bush can supply 3-4 kg in a good season - that's a lot of blueberries! I'll keep you posted about our successes/ failures and hopefully by mid-summer we will all have blueberries coming out our ears -or not.On another subject entirely some time ago I mentioned that I wanted to crochet this swirly scarf - well here it is elegantly modelled by Isabella. As it is the first thing I've ever really crocheted (apart from edging on knitted pieces) I'm really thrilled with the result.
The scarf looks lovely (and is being so very expertly modelled!). The colours are a beautiful combination ... I humbly bow down to your far superior crochet skills! :D
ReplyDeleteWow, Isabelle is really growing up and great scarf.

It looks very complicated.....love the colours, and good job at co-ordinated with the Bella's outfit....
ReplyDeleteMy beautiful little Bella! She is growing so fast. Love the scarf too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the lovely compliments! It really wasn't as hard as it looks. For starters the wool is of the variegated variety which means you don't have to be a colour whizz as all the colours are already in there! The pattern itself only has three or four rows of double then treble stitch and the twist comes from just increasing every row. Let me know if you want to give it a go and I'll post the pattern (I didn't end up using the one I linked to).
ReplyDeleteIsabella is growing up so quickly isn't she?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteI hope she swans about in it? :-)
