Feb 26th

I LOVE this wool! I have no idea what it is as it was a "bargain" from the fabulous wool shop and this photo is rubbish, but its green with flecks of other colours running through it. Blue, yellow, light green, red, purple and it's beautiful!

slowly slowly

I was given some money and an insider tip for my birthday so I spent it on yarn! I had to drop my daughter and her friend to a birthday party on Saturday and went browsing in what can only be called an Alladdins Cave of wonder!

I am now very excited and happy to have such awesome yarn! By my choices I obviously have a varegated "thing" going on... See what I mean!

Feb 24th:

I LOVE this wool!


Feb25th:

This ol screams "Nature" at me, and makes me think of a couple of friends of mine who I have been talking to online for a long time, but as they live so far away (Utah) I am not likely to get to see them soon!

They both have such love and respect for nature and the world around them... I've named this one "EARTHSTAR" and is my own pattern.


Slowly I am catching up!

so far behind!

Am really far behind and I don't know what happened! But here are some to be catching up...

Feb 20th - small filler, but a pretty one!


Feb 21 - bigger square with chunky lovely snuggly wool!

Feb 22 - yup, MY birthday! I haven't learnt how to crochet with 2 strands yet, and some of the cake patterns are SOOO complicated, so this is my attempt! It's turned out much better than I thought!



Feb 24th - small filler square


Yes, am very far behind!

Feb 19th

I made this one! I'm not sure how close it is to how it should be and it's really really fiddly, but overall I'm fairly happy with it! It's bright and colourful!


The pattern came CROCHET ME as the first in a free download book!

February 17th and 18th

So yesterday was the 17th and I used grey scale and multi pink of the sidar wool to create this square. Based on a traditional granny sqare, simple but warm and snuggly! 


Needed a small fill square for a tiny problem area so I made up this one based on the celtic knot square which I have used before as it's quick and easy!

Still LOVING my Addi hook! :)

Valentines Day

Obviously I wanted to do a heart shape for Valentines Day, and I found a pattern on HEARTMADEBLESSINGS So I had a go, but I've gone terribly wrong somewhere and it doesn't sit flat at all. I am sure that when it's all attached in my blanket it'll be OK, but I'm really not happy with it... But I tried ;)
