Week 3 of my Summer Craft Challenge has truly whizzed by! I can’t believe that a week has passed since I was sitting in the sun in my back garden with my bee mug of tea & my MagpieMAL crochet… We’re almost half way through the school summer holidays now for our family which means I’m almost halfway through the Summer Craft Challenge too! Sniff, it’s going too fast!
Here’s what I got up to this week:
Day 15
We had such lovely weather on Saturday – we went out for a lovely walk in the Cheshire countryside then headed home for dinner. I took the opportunity have a quiet sit in the garden for a while when dinner was in the oven.
You can’t beat a bit of Al fresco crochet and feeling the sun on your face!
Day 16
Had a bit of fun on Sunday trying to perfect a sprout pattern – I know there are patterns already out there, but wanted to come up with one of my own… still working on it!
Day 17
Day 17 of the Challenge and time for a bit more progress on my #magpiemal shawlette.
Day 18
It was a knitting mindless rounds in front of Olympics kind of a day… busy, busy, busy. And relax…
Day 18 of the #SummerCraftChallenge2024 done!
Day 19
Day 19 of my #SummerCraftChallenge2024 and there was time this evening for a spot of work on a pattern I’ve been sitting on for quite a while. Can you tell what it is? I got a couple of correct guesses over on Instagram which is reassuring I’m on the right path!
Day 20
Day 20 already on the #SummerCraftChallenge2024 and it was back to the #MagpieMAL for me. No work the next day so it felt like Friday already!
Pattern by Heather @kcaco.uk
Yarn by Kitey @the_yarnwhisperer

Day 21
Had rather a lot of fun yesterday hooking up some sausages – doesn’t everyone?
There’s been a bit of a food theme this week… I feel a project coming on – watch this space!

Nothing says #SummerCraftChallenge like a bit of al fresco crafting, sock knitting by a loch in the sun, crochet by a tree in Norfolk and embroidery on the beach in Sardinia! Here’s a little snap shot of some of the fab creativity which has been happening this week.
