Random Wooliness: June 2015
https://random-wooliness.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Welcome to my sometimes random and often woolly creations and observations. Ali. Saturday, 6 June 2015. A few weeks ago friends of ours celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary. One of them is a big fan of Bridget Riley. She invited me with her to hear Bridget in conversation during this exhibition. The stripes in Bridget Riley's work inspired a crochet piece for the couples anniversary card! Started with two rows of 20 stitches for each red. Some in back loops for texture.

Welcome to my sometimes random and often woolly creations and observations. Ali. Sunday, 26 July 2015. Oh I do like. To be beside the seaside.which is a little ironic living in the middle of England! We recently revived memories of a friend's Woolacombe wedding, enjoying the photos of a beautifully sunny and warm weekend. For an anniversary present a window of woolly Woolacombe was hooked! Many sandy strands and bubbly wavelets. The green hill in the distance. And a different background. And in the water.

Welcome to my sometimes random and often woolly creations and observations. Ali. Monday, 23 February 2015. Several years ago a fabulous and thoughtful friend gave me a Book Journal. It has been a brilliant resource for recording all those details from most recent reading material that are replaced or confused when new novel excitement kicks in! Also it extends the thinking processes whilst recording the raw emotions as the end of a brilliant book is reached. Attached with a loose crochet strap. Prudence ...
