So this is what all the cool crocheters* do of a Wednesday: they post updates about their work in progress (WIP). I’m currently working on a gift for my very soon to be married cousin and his wife. There is absolutely nil chance that it will be ready by Saturday. In fact although it’s easy to follow as a pattern there is a fair bit of counting involved. This bring me to a blog I found this week via one of my current fave iPad apps, Flipboard. The blog is a crocheter’s blog called “Shh I’m counting” Perfect! I got the pattern via this great little app from Lionbrand but you can also get it online.
*I’m fully aware of the contradiction in terms with that phrase.
After recently finishing a six week course in crochet in Springwools in Walkinstown I’ve been crocheting away like a crazy lady. While I could already crochet the course really helped me improve and understand techniques. And like many courses it really improved my confidence so that Himslef actually asked me yesterday was I planning to crochet christmas presents for everyone. I’d be hard pushed to crochet an iPhone for my bro….
Here are some of the items I have crocheted recently.
This is my February article for Beo! the Irish online language magazine where I write about Apple’s continuing success and the launch of the iPad. I have my iPiggyBank on the shelf to start saving for one!
“Last time there was this much excitement about a tablet, it had some commandments on it” a scrĂobhadh sa Wall Street Journal roimh cur i láthair bliantĂşil phrĂomhfheidhmeannach an chomhlachta theicneolaĂochta.
BĂodh nach mbeadh an iPad riachtanach i mo shaol, tá mo iPiggyBank ar an tseilf agam. Má chuirim cĂşpla pingin ar leataobh chuile lá feasta, ba choir go mbeidh mo €600.00 curtha ar leataobh agam roimh deireadh na bliana!
