SPRING HAS SPRUNG



Yep, Spring has sprung and the first day was absolutely wonderful. Since then, however, it seems mother nature has decided to give us a further dose of winter. Never mind, all the better for stitching and keeping snug. I was getting quite frustrated having lost a pattern for making a crocheted ripple blanket and I think I aired my displeasure on a previous post.  Well, true to form, a couple of my lovely bloggy friends came to the rescue and I decided to follow a step by step visual lesson from  Attic 24. Wooohooo! I have nearly completed this baby blanket for a girl who is having a summer baby. I have made it a bit larger than usual so it will be useful in the cooler months. Just a couple more rows to finish and VOILA!



 
 
 
Despite spending most of my craft time crocheting I have managed to catch up with Val's BOM and I am now eagerly awaiting the next block due this month. I am not very happy with my stitching on this one but it is only for me so I shall not get too stressed about it. I think my eyes are failing me a bit due to lack of sleep.
 
 
 
 
 
Having played with a bit of felt I am now loving it and I am making a couple of Christmas decos. I  thank  Shez and Peg for getting me out of my comfort zone with the FHFS.
 
 
 
 
So, that's my show and tell for now. I am off to finish that blanket and tidy my sewing room.
 
Angel Blessings.

  3. Hi Ondrea, the ripple blanket looks great. A friend started it for me, and I don't know what I did-- the ripples sort of disappeared. So I have pulled them all apart-- need to start again. The felt work is great--it is so much easier than needle turning etc.
