New crochet (on the ) block


Made a start on another blanket this evening; just a grannysquare blanket, one great big square; it's to use up the odds of chunky I have. I tried a ripple pattern with some of it, but it was too chunky to be successful, so will use odds of DK for that instead. I like the colours so far, but this one's for warmth, so there will be no colour scheme as such, just a  cosy use it up one

Another one towards the Ravelry 12 hats in 2012

Like this one - nice and chunky in Sirdar Click, and random textures, with  three rows of left over Cashsoft being used up; rather unique pie lid shaping on the crown ! lol Great fun to knit :)


Also started - a new  crochet block project to try and get through some stash; small square this one, but would like each one to be different , that's a challenge in itself lol Will see how I go. I've also started a riplle afghan throw in shunky/aran to use those bits up, and the Sanquhar gloves are well on their way too. Busy times :))

Fusion hat

Another candidate for the 12 hats in 2012 I'm doing on Ravelry no 4 this one. Crochet  crown is based on TEchnolace hat by KN designs, the brim idea and design is mine, just done on the needles as I went along; very pleased with this, it's different. Used just one ball of Rowan Cahssoft, bought half price out the bargain bin at local wool shop - very nice to knit with, very soft, and a rather gorgeous shade of  cherry red :)

Barter hat

Knitted this this morning whilst on teh computer - it's for a barter I did for a weaving book and a book of WW2 ration cooking, and will be off to Kent soon :)  The wool is Creative Poems aran, 100% pure wool, and beautiful to knit with, lovely colours and shading.I think she'll like it...............
