The Coast and Crochet Coasters

Back from beautiful Wales. The scenery and the beaches are unequaled anywhere and the people. with one notable exception, are helpful and pleasant. Having had a fairly active holiday and with quizzes and conversation in the evening I have had a whole week without any crochet (apart from watching Vicky make part of a gecko -honestly). I really am getting withdrawal symptoms and I thought there would be nothing to share but as usual .........

 Does anyone else have a grandson that builds solar systems instead of sand castles?

 Ben is running away from one of the life size dinosaurs at the Dan yr ogoff caves- absolutely amazing and worth a visit, the caves that is.
Brave Danny making friends with a huge horse.
And Now for the crochet.

This is a set of six coasters that I started before going to Wales. Made using Rico Essentials DK.
 In order to keep them tidy, they are held in an apple shaped container. The button was a lucky find in my enormous collection.

Inside are apple slice coasters

they have felt bases half red and half green because I didn't have enough of either colour.

 The flowes/stars are all made with embroidery thread.












Finally I have started to follow this person  https://www.facebook.com/deolinda.tonquelski. She shares albums of her own and others work. I don't speak her language but she includes pattern diagrams which are universal if you know what each symbol means. This is what I am trying from one of her pattern diagrams.


The yarn is a 4ply by Dennis Brunton that just happened to be in my stash. I will share it when it is complete but I am not sure what it will be because it is limited by the amount of yarn -could be a cowl, could be a shawl or even a head scarf.







Vicky and I were rather disappointed not to get to the Wool Museum of Wales so these are for you Victoria.
