Between work, walks and chores I've been picking away at my crochet projects. Retro Rescue is complete.
It's not huge, a nice lap throw size, or maybe even a good size to keep a little person warm in a cot.
I did a few rounds after joining the squares and finished it off with a cute shell edging.
Tada! Done.

Next, I pulled out a bunch of squares I made last year?
Maybe the year before?
Whenever, they have been sat waiting for me to use them. I figured I could do something similar.
After joining them I did a couple of rounds, then decided to add a round of smaller squares. They won't all be the same, I'm still using up scraps and leftovers. So this is going to be a very colourful and scrappy piece. I have no plan regarding size or where to go after this round of smaller squares, I'll keep you posted once I decide. For now, I'm happy to have it on my lap on cool evenings.

We've been busy in the garden, today we cleared the small greenhouse. I picked 4 ice cream boxes of chilli peppers; they have all been diced and popped into the freezer.
The feijoas are starting to ripen, but I suspect that I will miss out on the main flush of them due to our trip. I'll let the neighbours know they can collect them.
Our veg beds had a good tidy up and a mulch of leaves laid on them to keep the weeds at bay.
There are one or two other jobs that need to be done before we go, but not today, time to sit and have a cuppa and pick up my hook.

Has anyone else noticed that more and more comments now have a 'no reply' email address on them? I get my comments forwarded to my outlook inbox and usually reply from there. I generally manage to find the correct address as we have been emailing each other for more than a few years now, but it is so frustrating when we used to be able to just click on reply.
I do wish Blogger would get it's act together and stop changing things.

Yes, Blogger is being very annoying. I have always had people pop up as no reply but have just replied anyway and it has been no problem. Now they bounce back! And the really annoying thing is that they bounce back as no reply so you don't know which comment it was you were replying to! Keeps us on our toes I suppose.
Great finish with the blanket Lou. xx
I'm with you on Blogger. Your new/old rug looks very cosy and warm, just the thing for our current weather.
Cozy crochet projects! Those three weeks will fly by. I'd have my suitcase sitting out by now, tossing things in as I think of them.
Retro Rescue turned out so great Lou.
I have been having that issue with Blogger for over a year now. Has it only recently happened to your comments? It seems as if Blogger has a complete mind of its own now.
Good to have finished the rescue rug and the long awaited squares are growing nicely.
Yes have noticed many No Reply comments and I'm still having problems posting photos on my iPad GRRRRRR!
It’s a great time to be working on crochet. It sounds like you are getting nice and organised. Our feijoas are producing just enough for us to eat. There will still be some ripening while we are away, but the birds can have those few. Yes, Blogger can be rather frustrating at times. I still cannot add photos on my ipad, unless I email them to the blog. Even then, they don’t always come through. It will be frustrating when we are away.
That cozy turned out lovely. Done is such a good thing.
The 'no-reply' issue is most frustrating. I often miss out on replying to people because I've gone onto something else before I get the 'unable to send message' email. I'm with gmail and it is the same result. Thanks for opening up the issue Lou because I was about to start asking people why it was happening.
Wow, Master Crocheter! :-) Your colorful blanket is lovely.
I wish you lots of fun creating the next one... I really love the vibrant colors.
Hugs and lovely greetings.
so excited for you and your trip....
That is a great finish on your crochet blanket. And I do love the name of Retro Rescue.
You accomplished so much in every aspect of your life.
I've had the "no reply" issue for ages ...and I can live with that - but not getting comments to my inbox is beyond frustrating....(says she swearing under her breath)
Even though it says no reply, if I hit reply they seem to go through. I’m not sure what is going on with blogger but it is frustrating
I have been a no reply blogger for quite a while now, I was told a double click to return will send the email on. I still cant get comments to go to my emails. Very frustrating. Great finish on Retro Rescue, enjoy your crochet blanket.
