Hot Cross buns and a new book

Yesterday evening I made some Hot Cross buns, using a new recipe that had choc chips in the ingredients.

 
I didn't put the usual crosses on the buns, but cut a cross in each using a knife. I heated them up this morning, and they were really tasty, slathered with some sweet farm butter that I had bought.
 
 My friend Laverne called round, and gave me this stunning book:


Have a look at some of the wonderful, colourful patterns:


 
It's some time since I did any knitting, being hooked in crochet, but these are inspirational.
 


I love this cushion, and have been wondering of I could convert the pattern to  a crochet design.



These diagonal stripes are just stunning.


This is a book to treasure, and to bring out every now and again just to look at the fabulous pictures.
