Bloomin week 4

Hello Ladies,
This is my 4th week of Bloomin CAL and to be honest I haven't really done much this week.
I did go to my local wool shop to get some size 8mm knitting needles to have a go at making the kit of a Throw that I bought at the knitting and stitching show and ended up buying some lovely yarn in colours I seem to be going for at the moment, Pink and Green.
I have never been a Pink girl, whether it be decor, clothes, nail polish or lippy. But suddenly I seem to like Pink and Green together and this yarn just shouted at me from across the shop. So I bought some and have been making this scarf.
I won't be around for the next 2 CAL's either as I'm off on my Holibobs to Mexico. But I won't be idle as our flight is 11 hours, so I've sorted out 3 crochet projects to take with me. I thought 3 would be good as I could alternate between them. With it taking 11 hours there and 11 back, I'd like to think I would have something completed for all my sitting time.
Now Mr.S can sleep on a plane and he'll probably have a good few hours sleepage, while I, can't sleep on a plane at all, no matter how tired I am. So while he's sleeping I need entertaining. So I have plenty of books, plus I bought seasons 1 to 4 of "The Vampire Diaries" ( my guilty pleasure), music and of course my crocheting. That should be enough to keep me occupied I hope.
 
Take care everyone and I'll catch up with you all in a couple of weeks.

  3. Love the scarf, I did have to smile imagining you getting on the plane with two enormous bags of goodies to keep you occupied:) I sympathise I don't fly but know I wouldn't sleep either, Mr B however could nod off on a sixpence and sleep through anything.

    Enjoy your holiday

    1. Hahaha, Hi Peg, my hand luggage was full of yarn, I definitely took to much and I didn't really get that much done :)

    1. Thank you Chrissie, I really like pink and green together at the moment, not too sure about the chunky ness though. I'm not sure how all that scarf around my neck will feel. Xxx

  5. Your pink and green yarn is beautiful. I hope you are able to work on your crafts on the plane. I always find I don't do as much during all that time as I hope to, including sleep. Happy holidays.

    1. Thank you, you were right, I didn't get as much done as I thought I would
      I did find my time on the plane went quickly crocheting, but I did take to much :) xxx

    1. Thank you Hazel, I think I will look into Sirdar a bit more as the Pink and Green yarn was lovely to work with and you're right about the prettyness
      Have you read any of the Vampire Diaries books, or just watched the series. I wondered if they would be any good to read. Xxx
