Visiting!

Nice day today, visited my sons home for my daughter in laws birthday, sat on the deck in the sun and chatted with some of the visitors from last night's party which we did not attend because i can't seem to take these late nights any more. Mmmm.... could it be a sign of age.... no, surely not LOl.... Oh well....

Saturday!

Well here it is, Saturday come around again, the week goes so fast, not enough time to do everything i like to do... We made a cover for the trailer today, took up most of my crochet time, which is very sad but at least now we can cart stuff around without it getting wet, it's a good job done really so i won't complain too much. The weather is somewhat cooler today after the past couple of warmish ( 17 degs ) days we've had. It feels like it may be snowing up in the highlands.

Well!.. if i didn't know better i'd say today was a spring day.. absolutely beautiful.
Did the shopping early today and spent most of the afternoon outside in the sun crocheting.. can't think of anything better to do. Perfect day!!

Feel free to use any pattern i post but please leave me a review of the pattern. Let me know if it is correct or if there are any mistakes i have missed.

Row 2. Chain 3, ( 1st treble ) * Front post treble round next treble, treble in top of next treble*
repeat * to* to end of row.
Row 3. Chain 3, ( depending on whether the last stitch of previous is a treble or front post treble)
either treble into top of front post of previous row or do a front post treble around next stitch.
this pattern is continued until desired size is reached.
If there are any problems with the pattern please let me know.
