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!
Thank you. It’s such a fun project – I’ll be sad when it’s finished.
You’ll have to make another! So in future years your twins can have one each ?
Actually, you might be on to something there……………
Lol!
Loving the rug. Cant wait to see it finished
Thank you.
Wow that rug is amazing! It must be so satisfying to see that grow!
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
Thank you Selma. 🙂 It was the perfect combination for an evening until the twins started grizzling again. Oh well…
I love your stained glass window – it already looks stunning and I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Thank you. It might take a while…
Love your stained glass crochet–very colorful! 🙂
Thanks. I am rather addicted to colour.
Looking good! Great colourways. Love your stove too – looks much less ‘sooty’ than mine!
Thank you. 🙂
The stained glass rug is lovely. I really must learn to crochet one day.
I hope you do. It’s not difficult. I’m a confident knitter but this is my beginner effort in crochet.
You’re off to a fabulous start!
Holy WOW!!!! That is beautiful, can’t believe you’re a beginner 😀
Yup, beginner in crochet. But being able to knit helps.
Absolutely stunning!
Muchly thank you!
Its coming along so well already! I’m excited to see the final product
Thank you! So am I. That’s the only thing that keeps me going with it…
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 🙂
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………..
That’s a nice design on the bottle.
Agreed!
