I am so happy now that I have finished some projects. Remember the shawl I started to crochet? Well, it is finished! It took 3 x100g balls of variegated pure wool to make and it came out in stripes. I crocheted the edge in black.
The day I purchased the wool I also bought some balls of cotton yarn.
I had planned to try crocheting some pretty dishcloths from a free pattern but my first attempt looks a bit sad. Maybe I need to crochet these with a smaller hook.
I did eventually finish binding June and July's little minis.
August is awaiting some hand quilting, September and October stitcheries are yet to be pieced. I popped into my favourite little quilt shop on Tuesday ,( sadly, one closed a few months ago and another is closing next month), and couldn't resist these rolls of 1800 repros. Hmm, to wash or not to wash? That is the patchwork question.
These cold, wet and windy days are ideal for stitching and crochet , not to forget a bit of knitting that I have started too. May you all keep snug and warm enjoying stitching the days away.
Angel Blessings.
