I have nothing of interest on my work desk…it’s the same old. Since the card making session for WI, I haven’t done anything at all at my desk; but I haven’t been totally ignoring my er, inner crafter.
This is the coffee table in our lounge area. I fell for the colour of this yarn and needed a reason to own it. My SiL has a ‘feature wall’ in her dining room which is this colour with a silver pattern on it, so I’m making a sort of table runner. Not the full length but bigger than a centrepiece type thing. Turns out the yarn is so thin that I’m using it in double thread mode on 1.5mm hook, it has no substance worked as a single thread, it’s just a silky cotton. Also, I’ve chosen a colour that my old eyes really need daylight for - an hour in the daylight produces twice the number of pieces than an hour by light of lamps and tv!
Join us all why don’t you, show and tell of your desk space, whatever it is you do…we are fascinated by it all. Links to visit and join in at Sarah’s , see you there!

That’s a beautiful colour yarn but my goodness, what a labour of love. I think 3mm is the smallest hook I’ll ever use.For tiny crochet, see the earrings on my post today, incredible but it ain’t ever gonna happen with me! Good luck…

It’s a gorgeous colour., but far too tiny a hook for me! Hugs Angela #13
What a project! The yarn colour is just my thing but I certainly couldn't crochet with a tiny needle - nothing less than a 4mm for me and even then I can't really follow a pattern🤣x x Jo 🌈
Lovely coloured thread. I can understand you using it double as I once did crochet with the thin white thread enough to go all the way round a table cloth, I love it but would never do it again as it took ages to complete. Take care and happy woyww, Angela x9x
that's a stunning colour! it sounds like a marathon task though so I wish you much daylight and patience! Helen #1
That is a lovely color! So dedicated! Realizing a single strand is too thin….I would have chucked the whole thing!😂
I love the colour! Goes great with your carpet! I'm sure she will love it when you are finished! Have a Great week🌸Lindart #14
Happy (late, but not too late!) WOYWW! Oh I love that colour! So so pretty and I bet the table runner will look stunning. Hope you will share it at the end. Double stranded crochet is tricky (my threads always twist and heaven forbid you have to pull back!) but you really got are right - dark thread need a lot of light! My eyes are not what they used to be....

Well what can I say but I have a t-shirt on in that exact same colour - dark teal love it and the runner will be fantastic. Hugs Bj#4
