Making Progress.
Bits and pieces are starting to come together. Always good to see progress. The last block for Tinsel has been completed. So now the nine blocks are ready to go together. There is then more applique to go on to overlapping blocks. Plenty to keep me busy with this project. I have also manged to […]
Christmas, Easter And Winter.
That’s a few of the holidays and a season covered! Christmas refers to the Sue Spargo embroideries for Tinsel. I have two more finishes and only one more block to go. Of course that is not the end as there is also a lot of work on the border. I am leaving some of the […]
One Sock, Two Sock.
The title makes it easy to work out what I have been busy making. Socks of course. But not the average, run of the mill sort. These are Norwegian Rainbow socks. These are knitted in a mix of 8 ply yarns. A friend travelled through many countries a few years back, especially Norway and Finland. […]
Small Things This Time.
These little faces have been watching me for a while and I think that was a way of reminding myself I had to get them, and their clothes, finished. They are a knit pattern from ak traditions. I have made some other patterns from them a long time ago, but found these and thought they […]
Catching Up On Spring.
With house guests for nearly two months I have not had a lot of opportunity to sew or blog. I looked back and realised posts were at least a month apart. Just shows how busy it gets. No complaints, just an observation. Little has been done as far as quilts go, but hopefully I can […]
A Finished Blanket.
This is another of my projects that was so close to a finish and was then put away due to distractions of my own making. I had made the large mandalas and had pieced them together, but knew I had to make smaller sections to fill the gaps. It took me a while to play […]
Yarning Away.
Lots of little yarn projects have been worked on and some have even been completed. This little doll is a pattern from Mary Jane’s Tearoom and is called simply a Little Yarn Doll. A lovely pattern to follow and lots of variations included. I have kept to the basics for the first one, giving her […]
A Quick March.
Everything seems to be moving along very quickly – including the month of March. I know we are trying to catch up on all we have missed during lock downs and so there are a lot of requests for social activities. But also I think we became very comfortable with the slow pace of lock […]
Too Much Cuteness.
I just had to finish off that koala I was knitting. But it didn’t stop with one. A bit like eating potato chips. So I ended up with three. They are lovely to make – a little bit fiddly, but worth it. The hardest part was the faces and I am sure that they will […]
A Bit Of A Yarn.
Plenty of yarn being used in these projects. It’s a bit of a mixed bag. I have been making a few bits and pieces for gifts and have accumulated a little collection. Most will be baby gifts. I am sure most of you have seen the octopus toy with the curly tentacles that bubs love […]
