I hope you have all welcomed the new year with an abundance of good health, love and happiness, not to mention lots of yummy stitching projects to do. I have taken the plunge and already joined a swap as you can see on the right hand side bar. I have made a start on it and plan to have it done with heaps of time left before it needs to be posted to my mystery swap partner. Could it be you? Meanwhile, I have been crocheting a baby blanket for the Women's Refuge, a good start to my year of making things for charity.
I am fairly new at crochet and have attempted a ripple blanket for the first time with the help of a tutorial and some input from Barb. Here is a closer look.
Do you like a magazine called "Quilt Mania" ? They have a sisiter magazine called " Simply Vintage" which has just been released in English and I was lucky enough to find it at a local newagency. This was an Autumn issue and it has so many projects in it I want to do.
I have read a few books during the past few weeks. As you can see my genres include fiction, non fiction and biographies.
This month I am focusing on finishing things off such as putting sleeves on the little civil war reproduction quilts , sewing the buttons and binding on Henrietta Whiskers quilt, finishing all the appliques for the Crazy Cats quilt and doing the Initial Heart swap . Maybe I shall knit a couple of facewashers and crochet another baby blanket for charity between all this. Well, you know what it is like, gotta keep the fingers working.

ReplyDeleteLove your ripple blanket, a very pretty variegated wool colour. I've also been looking at this magazine and have put myself on an imposed magazine diet this year but I'm sooooo tempted by this one :) Barb.
