Mark has been in Bridgend, Wales, today for a meeting.
When I went out first thing this morning it was so cold I put my coat on, it was also spitting with rain. This afternoon it has been hot, hot, hot! No coat or jacket required.
After I dropped the kids off at school this morning I went straight to the charity shop to see if they still had the sock yarn. They didn't BUT they had something better! Just goes to show if you keep checking you never know what you will find!
I had these balls of crochet yarn for guess how much?????

20p each!
I brought the pink one for Anais. They did have more left only in pink, orange and blue though. I am toying with the idea of going back for more tomorrow, only I don't have a project in mind for them except to practise on.
With the blue yarn I had another go at making the jar cover...

I think it would have been more effective if I used bigger beads but these were the only blue beads I had that a hole big enough to pass the yarn through. I have never crocheted with beads before and it was easier than expected. I crocheted the cover first then unravelled the rest of the ball of wool and slid the beads up the remaining wool for when they were needed. Next time I suppose it would make sense to slide them down the yarn when I start crocheting instead.
To compare the sizes with DK and the yarn I brought today...
I took some meatballs out the freezer this morning and was planning on making meatballs and pasta after swimming lessons. Everyone was complaining it was too hot for a "dinner" though so on the way home we stopped off at the co-op and brought some part baked baguettes and mozarella cheese and made a cross between a meatball sub and meatball baguette pizza! It was suprisingly nice, I had a veggie version i.e no meatballs only the tomato sauce the meatballs came in with mozarella chesse, onion rings and salad.
