Crochet Lap Throw/Blanket

When its snowing outside where is the best place to be?

snuggled upon the sofa with your hand knitted socks and your crochet lap blanket and a good book!

my book is ..... A year at the chateau, Dick and Angela Strawbridge, great read, or watch of the series!!

 inspired by Aria by Attic 24 (i have made that one too!)

this one i made using a range of stylecraft wool, lots of leftovers from different projects.

      

   

 

Knitted Gifts- Knitted Socks

With  nott much money around this year we decided it was kids only but for the adults it was secret santa, which always works well. 

BUT 

i just can't not give gifts at christmas and with having a vast stash of wool i decided to knit everyone a pair of socks each!

now i just need to make myself a new pair!

 

 

Christmas Stockings

 My run up to Christmas involved designing and producing quite a few of these in kit form and made up, just loved making them and the gorgeous fabrics made it very easy.

the front of the stocking is padded with some wadding and then when backed it is lined and a hanger added.

a simple but very effective design and a lovely size too.

the kit alog with others and fabrics available from my shop Lets sew it

      

  

 

christmas sewing

Trying to get things done and ready for workshops over November and December but lockdown # 2 has sorted that out

just loving these advent stockings, gift bags and advent pockets, easy to make and super cute.

while locked away I'm trying to get some new designs done and written up while battling the low mood it has put me in, we will get through this lol and come out stronger on the other side!

just hoping to be able to do one of my planned workshops in December, fingers crossed.

Being Busy

for the first time this year we managed to get out and about, first and last time by the looks of it with the new restrictions coming into play .

but never mind we just carry on and do what we need to do until this is all over!

soooo to keep busy i have been remaking past kits in new fabrics, i love to see the results of this puts a fresh new look onto projects.

plus i am planning lots more projects.

watch this space.
