Lets play with wool.

Winter means crochet!!

well anytime means crochet to be fair!

I've always got something crochet or knitting related on the go, at least a couple at a time!

Over Christmas I worked on the yuletide from Attic24, loved this one, well in the end I did, when I first saw the sneak peaks of it, it didn't take my fancy but it grew on me and in the end I succumbed and ordered and really enjoyed making it, would like to go again with different colour ways too.

I have worked on a few baby blankets over the last few months too, leftovers and odd balls of wool, nice to work on smaller projects and quick finishes too.

and of course socks, I love making my socks, when I asked my sun in law what he wanted for Christmas the answer was nothing, don't worry about me which quickly changed to oh actually some of your socks please, soon sorted that out and he was very pleased with them too!

these are my quick 2 needle sock pattern design, cause I cant stand using more than 2 needles or circular needles so I made me own design up, this is my hand spun pair, 

mmm love them!

 

February 2022

Christmas 2021 is done and gone thank goodness, January 2022 is done and gone thank goodness, 

not much to say about January, depression, as always, not much sewing! 

I find it hard in the dark months of the new year to do much at all apart from wish them away, the bag which I love was made during December then the machine was put away for the holidays and didn't come out again until last week, 20the January when I made these notebooks, one for an order, that made me get the machine out!! and lovely project broke the  no sew time!!

love making these notebooks and just ending up where I end up.

I did then go on to make a new design bag which I will post about separately.

for now I am in countdown for the retreat, moved and moved again to February 19th, 18 days and counting, think I like it this time of year, something to look forward to and get me through the dark days of these couple of months!! 

bring it on!!
