Practice makes perfect

I have just sewn together a few squares of crochet.  I am well pleased with the result, much much neater than my previous attempts at crochet.  Comes from buying a knitting magazine which happens to have a couple of pages about crochet and just happened to have the instructions for doing proper granny squares.  I am hoping that more yarn will be purchased this week to make more squares and make this bigger, maybe big enough to put on our bed.  I am enjoying using a crochet hook, I find the repetitiveness of doing trebles quite relaxing and it grows really quickly.  I  am still knitting though, got chunky knit ntrelac jumper on the go, in shades of pink.  I am hoping that I can sell the finished item in my new Etsy shop.  Mind you I am not having much luck selling my hats and they are really fashionable.

On other news, all this knitting etc is serving well to keep a certain someone out of my mind.  Hoping that I have turned the corner on this one.  I just wish that bloody social worker would sort out this appointment with me, her and the police so I can clear up a few things.  I need them to realise that Alex and myself are not what they believe us to be.  Apart from anything if we prove that to them they will have to accept how much of an accomplished liar she is and how she can make anyone believe anything she says.  I want that police officer to apologise for telling me that me and Alex obviously have a serious drink problem and are violent people.  Once I get that matter clarified then I should be able to move forward.

I am missing my penpal Jilly, she's gone to the USA on holiday and I miss getting my daily inbox from her.  I am looking foward to this weekend, hubby is off for 4 days so maybe we can get some wine and go visit Leona.
