Welcome one and all to my blog. By my presence here you will have realised that my first foray into blogging has not put me off. I would like to thank everyone for their good wishes and positive feedback. It is heartening to be received so well.
Yippee! Tinna Thorudottir Thorvaldsdottir’s crochet along(cal), The Queen https://www.facebook.com/groups/TinnaCrochetClub was released last night ahead of its’ advertised launch today.
Immediately, there was a buzz on the super highway as crocheters everywhere picked up their hook and began. Posts are springing up like new flowers across the web of variegated colours, yarn and design. I can almost hear the voices, all vying to chatter about their excitement and views already. People are eagerly demonstrating and explaining the pattern and techniques to each other as they go along. What a community! I am really looking forward to starting. That will be tomorrow as I had other commitments today.
Nevertheless I have had a quick look at the pattern. For me, it is likely to be a bit of a challenge as I tend to prefer written patterns too charts. Ah, but it all adds to the fun. One day I won’t even give it a second thought when there is a graph – hopefully.
As is my wont in life, I agonised over which colours to use. When I purchased the yarn, Stylecraft Special double knit, a few weeks ago I had decided to go with a kit. Now, I am wondering will that be a regret, should I just choose my own colours? In the end I decided to do a bit of both. As I had kits for the three colourways I decided to crochet the colours in the first parcel I opened. In this very precise and scientific manner I have discovered I will be doing the Tequila Sunrise Queen. Ta rah!
Tomorrow I will be studying the pattern and deciding which of the three skill level options I will do. Although, I am tempted with the Adventurous Queen to have some of my own input with the design.
I will keep you in the loop as I go along. Likewise, I would love to read your comments and learn how you are getting on. You are, as always, more than welcome to sign up to be notified of updates at the top of the page.
Take care and be safe

Hi Kate
It’s hard to imagine our lives without our yarn crafts, isn’t it? I’m sure you’ll tweak the patterns to suit your taste, and have great fun doing it. In the very early days of published knitting instructions, there was little information given. The pattern was called a recipe, which is really what it is – some guidelines to follow but then chuck in whatever variations you want.

It is a thought to think of life without crafts or the arts of any description. I remember you telling me about the pattern before. But somehow when you tell it I have a real sense of warmth, learning and companionship. Never stop trying to educate me!
