Yarn for the skirt guard!

I went shopping for yarn yesterday, and ended up getting something called Drops Muskat, which is a mercerised cotton. It has a lovely sheen to it, and I think it will make a very pretty skirt guard :)

Finally Improvement!

I am pleased and relieved to say that the arms are finally well on the way to recovery, thanks to this chap. I got his e-book on wrist tendinitis 10 days ago, and it was worth every cent.

Consequently I have been pondering what my first project will be, and I have decided to give a go at crocheting. This will not be done today or next week, but hopefully fairly soon. I'll be making these:

I have a very cute old bicycle from the 1960's, I think. It's a dark red/orange colour, and I'll be making my skirt guard in matching colours, so I can ride in style :)
