Finished at long last, Hats and neckwarmers













Today i finished some baby hats. Took me longer to knit these than i thought it would. These are going to be used by a local photographer when she does baby pics. She has some friends shes going to try them out on first though.She has just started her own business and has done some weddings and childrens shots already you can see her work here www.dianewhytephotography.com

Sunday 1 August 2010





Well, here it is August already, its been ages since ive posted anything but i do have reasons, I have been so busy..I joined a group that crochets/knits squares to make into a blanket for someone in need. So each month we each send a square, or more and lovely Channelle sews them all together and then sends the finished blanket to a deserving person. So I have been crocheting like a woman possessed! Also been making a lap blanket for Kate, this is now done except for darning in all the ends. I am also making her a bed sized granny square one, and it is getting bigger it just seem that im not crocheting fast enough !!! At this rate it will be xmas 2011 before its done. I als saw a lovely design for granny squares which i am making for myself, no wonder the time seems to be skipping away before my eyes.I also joined a group swap for granny squares, which starts next month, so im excited about that as by this time next year i will have 30 squares , 2 each from each person in the swap. I have asked for blues and purples as my colour scheme, one person actually spins her own wool, that, im reallly looking forward to getting, i bet it will be lovely. Finished two more scarves, (see above for one of them), they are for xmas, have 3 more to do yet. Thats my lot for now..XXX
