    I say, what posh chocolate! I was watching last night too, along with millions of others - Downtonians? :o) Love your autumn crochet Kate and the blanket - now the evenings are a bit chilly a big blanket WIP is just the job to keep the feet and legs warm. Have a great week.

    Your garland is lovely, so is the blanket. I do so love the colours you use, they are ones I would choose too. Hope you enjoyed Downton last night. I watched the previous ones a while back, so now I know what everyone is on about and I can watch along too. CJ xx

    That garland is perfection ... I love it ... covet it ... and I really can't crochet, sob! Yet another good reason to try and learn (again!) me thinks.

    Looks like a fab weekend Kate :)

    Ooh Kate I love your new autumn garland. I wouldn't have the patience to do something so intricate that's if I could even make something so intricate. And is that a new blanket I can see on the go. Ooh and yes Downton is back yeah. I that sad I sat and watched the last two episodes of series four so that I was all ready come nine o'clock and yes I did have a nice bar of chocolate and a glass of vino to go with.

    what a fantastic garland!! The yarn looks gorgeous - can you tell me what it is please? And where did you get the pattern for your leaves and acorns? Sorry, lots of questions! Surely that garden seat in the sun cannot be England in September!
