Miss Janets Knittings

hmn, I eagerly joined this group at the beginning of the month... I am still eager to participate, only January went a bit quicker than expected, or perhaps mine has been particularly slow!

Anyway, this is as far as I am. What drove me to grab the crochet needle was this. I managaged to get hold of the original pattern and started to crochet my squares.... I had done about 10 before it finally dawned on me, that the ones in the photo aren't of the original granny-kind, they have less holes!! didn't stop me though ( too lazy to start over). For sewing them up I had my second bright moment: given the way I've done the colours there was no way to combine the squares for the shape of the original bag with a colour-harmony I can live with. The above is what I ended up with. Not quite the original source of inspiration, but I hope we can still be happy together on a beach off the Indian Ocean :-)

Tomorrow (tonight is probably a more accurate description of the time) I'm off to Africa, and won't be back for real until mid March. I don't see much crafting going on down there, so here I am off to a rather poor start on the 12 projects. I do pack the above + darning needle and hope to finish it, but will be a project and a half behind when I return. 10½ months should allow for catching up though:-)
