We had such a lovely, relaxing time on the beach, we had a picnic, I did some knitting, read magazines and did some crossword puzzles together.
I haven't done so well with this week's One A Day's, I haven't finished any squares, just the centres.I do them in stages so I crochet 36 centres in one colour, then add the cream around them all and finish off by adding the final row.

I have finished a pair of knitted welly toppers for Paige though, it's V Festival on Friday so I needed to get them finished. I think she may need them with all the rain forecast for this week !!!!

The pattern is by Rhian Drinkwater, the pattern used aran but Paige found some Sirdar Crafter Fair Isle effect Chunky she really liked.
I used a 4mm circular needle so they came out smaller, I'm not sure whether you're suppose to go down that small with Chunky but it seemed to work.
Thanks for looking, don't forget to check out how everybody else has got on with their One A Day's on Carole's blog.

I am planning some boot toppers now. You have inspired me.
You have a nice little stack to work on this coming week. :-)
I LOVE this boot toppers. I have to wear orthopedic boots year round and would love to make some of these for them. I wonder if you can also crochet them as I do not knit?

I'm the same as you, I work my grannies in stages, they are coming along nicely. Love your wellie boot toppers too!

This boots look fab!!! Love what you made for them!!!!
Thanks for your comment Deb. I have only been crocheting for almost 2 years and not sure I am ready to try creating my own pattern. I have to look closer at some patterns and might ask my mother if she has any idea how I could go about it since she knits and might have tips to crochet them. Unless I do find a pattern somewhere. Are they tighter on the inside to stay well tucked in?

Love your toppers too. Sounds like a lovely break in your daily routine. That's important for beeing chuffed. Have a nice week! Sabine from Germany.
Ooh I do love those. Being from summery hor SOuth Africa I need to ask - how does it work, does it just go over the top of the boots? Looks cool.
Oh that should be HOT. As in sunshiney.
You know I get all excited when I see your crochet projects.. Those boot toppers are so cool. I just love the colors. They look fabulous..
