Love the block, Diane! As for the sprout--I always have liked them. My favorite way is sliced in half broiled with a little olive oil. But, if you only had them boiled until they were limp, I can understand why they aren't on your favorites list! :)--Terry
Your block looks really good, eww sprouts! I hate them x
I almost bought some sprouts the other day , only almost mind you, as they were a new variety.... frilly sprouts. All the leaves, petals (whatever they are called) really were FRILLY on tiny sprout... NAH! I'm sure they will taste the same and cause the same anti social results!
Have a great time with your family and CALM DOWN DEAR!! It will all be wonderful. You'll only be thinking of that tiny babe, aaahhhh!
Love Jo x
Lol Diane I think your week sounds a lot like my week...just different things to do but similar!
Calm down and carry on, else you'll 'explode' with excitment!Well done on getting your swap blocks all made. I feel the same about sprouts too, but with several family members loving em I have to buy a few!Yuk!
Keeping you busy while you wish away the minutes and hours until ...! I really like that block - simple but great effect
You could always take the knitting to the greengrocers that way no sprout would be entering your house :).
Your block looks great. The quilt she is aiming for looks like a Secret Garden one.
