The end of a stressful day of tantrumming toddler twinnage.
The rainbow stained glass window is progressing well, assisted by a two-hour bout of insomnia last night. Can you see the little popcorn stitches? I’ve reached about 60cm diameter (24 inches), and the final thing will be about 2 metres (>2 yards) across. I love this pattern! It’s by Julene Watson, and the increases and pattern are perfectly calculated so that it remains beautifully flat as it grows.
And it’s cheaper than therapy. 🙂

Continuing my occasional series of knitted motifs spotted out and about, here’s where wine meets fairisle. 🙂
Most definitely not a wine that I’d choose, but not bad for a combination of concepts.

Your stained glass crochet is simply gorgeous!
The Twisted Yarn says
Thank you. It’s such a fun project – I’ll be sad when it’s finished.
mollieandclaire says
You’ll have to make another! So in future years your twins can have one each ?
The Twisted Yarn says
Actually, you might be on to something there……………
mollieandclaire says
Lol!

Loving the rug. Cant wait to see it finished
The Twisted Yarn says
Thank you.
nataliec1603 says
Wow that rug is amazing! It must be so satisfying to see that grow!
The Twisted Yarn says
Thank you. I’m amazed how quickly it’s growing, but maybe that’s because my other project is knitted with 4-ply yarn on tiny needles…

It is gorgeous. Also love the fact it stays flat. Sorry to hear about toddler tantrums but what a lovely fire and red wine and crocheting x
The Twisted Yarn says
Thank you Selma. 🙂 It was the perfect combination for an evening until the twins started grizzling again. Oh well…

Looking good! Great colourways. Love your stove too – looks much less ‘sooty’ than mine!

Thank you. 🙂
Mind Margins says
The stained glass rug is lovely. I really must learn to crochet one day.
The Twisted Yarn says
I hope you do. It’s not difficult. I’m a confident knitter but this is my beginner effort in crochet.
Mind Margins says
You’re off to a fabulous start!

Kate says
Love the stained glass crochet. Can’t wait to see the finished article! You are so patient to work on something so big! My brain would flit to other things I’m sure 🙂
The Twisted Yarn says
Ah, but to be honest, a lot of this is so mindless that my brain is free to flit where it likes and I can still keep crocheting round, and round…. and round………..
The Knitwit says
That’s a nice design on the bottle.
The Twisted Yarn says
Agreed!
