What have I been doing?
Apart from quite a bit of teaching and some writing, I've been trying to
FINISH some projects for most of it actually. The WIPs were taking over my home
(Works in Progress).

So to that end I
completed some felted bags I'd been harbouring for long months - but actually they all need lining now.

I also
started (sorry I couldn't help myself) a broomstick lace Stole in duck egg blue
aran weight cotton (dribble dribble), oh and I also started (no, I really am
sorry but I just HAD to) a ruck sack style bag for myself, made out of granny
squares but with a kind of 'urban' colour scheme. It's looking good but it,
too, will need lining. I'm still creating a flap that will attach to some
buckle straps. No what did I do with those buckles I bought?

But for me, the biggest and BEST piece of news is that I have had an article published in a crochet magazine. Inside Crochet - October 2012. I am really, REALLY chuffed, and am starting to think about what else I could scribble about in the same vein, now I've reached that milestone.
