Update on what I’m making

Hi all, I have been working hard behind the scene to complete something that I have started!

I have quite a few on the go and I really do need to stop my head from turning into a crazy mad woman haha.

  1. I have a hexagon cardigan that both sides have been started and I could finish it in one to two days!
  2. I have a crochet t-shirt that I tried to get finished before the sun went down on Sunday.
  3. I started a sock pattern that turned into a bed sock as it was far too bulky.
  4. I started another sock pattern but it wouldn’t go round my feet and I’m really thinking it should be pulled back a bit and made into mittens (hmmm, I wonder?)
  5. I’m on with a lovely pair of fingerless mittens that I think look absolutely fabulous but I just can’t seem to get the pattern on the thumb part to look right!
  6. I have a sewing project of making as many heat pads as I can create and sell for a way to save water and to stop rubber hitting our landfill sites.
  7. Another sewing project of handkerchiefs, also to help the environment from too much waste.
  8. I have started (last night) to make a 0-3 month cardigan for my friends that have informed me that they are expecting their first baby.
  9. For the last 4 years I have had a shawl on the go and I must finish it sometime.
  10. And I have lots of cotton yarn that I make into dishcloths. Another great idea I have to be more eco friendly.

I seem to have many great ideas and need to focus on just the one thing really.

It’s such hard work trying to work out what I should make first, but I will eventually I will get to the finish line with some of the projects. I think I will have at least 4 completed before the end of September! What do you think?

So there you have a preview of some of the things I’m currently working on.

Please leave a comment to let me know what you think is going to be the first finished.

See you again soon blogger friends

Latest makes

This month I am on with a few projects at the same time! I should be really but that is just how I roll. So, I will show you one of the items that I am currently enjoying and once finished will appear on my website.

This make is a jumper where I thought I could use five different colours throughout and use up a fair amount of wool in the process.

And here it is!! Doesn’t it look fabulous in it’s lovely colours.

I am hoping to get this completed before the sun goes down on Sunday, here goes nothing!

I’ll update the progress as soon as I have some to show.

Bye for now

Footy day crochet

Well, today we’re off to see Grimsby Town v Doncaster Rovers and we’re not really looking to see the Marriners win today!

Over the last couple of months the boys have not performed that well for the fans. In fact, they’ve not really played well for the league!

Today for me supporting my husband I feel quite bored. But, I came prepared! I brought my crochet with me! So during breakfast (at McDonald’s) I started making a dishcloth!

Doesn’t it look good? I think so too!

So, I was crocheting away and my husband says to me, that it’s all well and good that I’m enjoying myself doing my craft but there’s no way I’m doing it in the stadium!

How unfair!!!

I’m not at all happy he said that and nor is my crochet!

My beloved work is stuck in my bag and not able to come out! Pffft, he’s allowed his soduko book out!

I’m not counting down the hours and the minutes to when I’ll be back to crafting again…
