New freebie Summer Meadow

Hello again :)
Glad to be back on here to give you a new freebie !
I'm finally off work for bit and that means I have time to catch up with things I had to neglect for a while.
I don't want to complain because health wise I'm really lucky, but getting older definitely means having to slow down and not having as much energy as I used to have :)
I'm really jealous sometimes of those who got to stay home on 80% pay for two or three months. Yeah, I'm glad I have a secure job , but I gladly would have swapped the "essential worker" status for a little less money and a bit of free time. But I'm on leave now. Time to relax and chill , and just do what I want to do :)

So what have I been up to since last post?
For a start I purchased some brand-new design  resources. Once the weather turns bad again in autumn /winter time I will have plenty of stuff to create some new kits. I'm saying autumn /winter because I don't spend much time on the computer during the nice weather months.
But I have been busy crocheting and knitting, which can easily be packed in a bag and taken to the beach or a shady park bench, to spend time outside ,now that we are allowed to do that again.
So "bag" is the keyword. I have taken part in Stephanie's crochet-along (CAL) of the Camellia Tote bag.
Free pattern here or purchase as pdf : https://www.allaboutami.com/pattern-camellia-tote-bag/

There is also a Facebook group for this CAL ,where we share pictures and help each other if somebody has a problem .

This is my progress

First the oval base of the bag

The first two of 4 side panels

...and finally the finished bag. I love how this turned out and even have plans to make a second one in a different colour.

Then I also worked on another crochet tartan scarf. The crochet is done first and then the tartan gets woven in.
Link to free pattern is on the Pattern page now.

This will be very cosy when the colder weather comes again :)

My current project is a Fringe cardigan. It gets knitted with two strands of yarn on very large needles. This really shows off the texture of any simple pattern.

And I have been out and about....

...cycling along our coast here.

Pretty picturesque, huh?

But enough of that now. I have a new kit for you. It's called Summer Meadow.

And here come the previews....

I'm giving you 3 links today and the next 3 links will be next post

So stay creative and until next post in 3 weeks time
