new pattern...old yarn!!!

♥♥♥

♥♥♥♥♥

had 

pinned this

a while ago and found it again a couple of days ago

so I had a go yesterday

and look what happened

 yarn in the stash that needs to be used

Caron Country which I loved

but it's been discontinued so I don't have a lot to use

 I played with the colours 

with this stitch

"Leaping Stripes and Blocks"

that comes from 

HERE

looks different because I used so many colours

and I changed the dc (US) to a half dc

there is a wonderful video to help you  do it

and it's a lot easier than it looks

so

gather all those bits again and have a go

I made it with thicker cotton too

and it worked in a "messier" way...

I liked this tighter denser version

the weather continues to be completely crazy

it's playing silly buggers all over the place

we were under tornado warnings and watches yesterday

and in fact a tornado touched down on the other side of the river in Maryland, 

it reached almost 70 F ( 14/15 C)

today will be the same

and then it's going back down....way down next week 

with more snow

grrrrrrr!!!!
