Warm And Woolly.
Knitting in Winter is a lovely way to keep warm but I have now realised that crocheting a blanket is even warmer. I have finished one in pure wool and it has been a delight to snuggle under it as it has grown. It covers me perfectly from chin to toes, so it now sits […]
Catching Up On June.
NB. My blog issues re following seem to have been sorted out. If you wish to follow please use the follow by email directions near the comment section (not the RSS feed at the top of this page – that is not working.) My blog is also now showing up in blog readers again so […]
Bits And Bobs.
Bits and pieces seems to be the way my sewing and crafting weeks are going at the moment. I have finished another one of these crochet bunnies, but this time have added some coloured yarn as well. I saw several variations of this pattern on Pinterest and liked the inclusion of coloured stripes. I have […]
Hexies And Rabbits.
No quilt pictures today – but I am in the middle of quilting another one! Today is all about yarn and crochet hooks. I have two finished items. The first is a small blanket – probably lap sized throw. Lots of crocheted hexagons made first and then all crocheted together with white yarn. It took […]
Little Things Grow.
Happy October. We have been making the most of our Spring weather with lots of time outside and in the garden. We took down some huge branches overhanging a work shed and our timing was perfect as the next day we had strong winds – over 100kph – that did a lot of damage across […]
A Yarn.
It has been perfect weather for knitting – cold and wet. Staying inside where it is warm and being able to watch Wimbledon and Tour de France has helped, too. I have been able to finish this sweet little pinafore dress. It has been made with a lovely yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills. It is […]
Another Two.
Our cold weather is a perfect time for knitting. I am surprised at being able to leave my quilting but the knitting needles have called. Here is the next addition to the possum scarf collection. It looks very warm and snuggly. And the last one. I think this one is a tiger possum. I am […]
Bird And Possum.
A quick post for today. Bertie has kept me busy and now the final block is done. Oops. Just realised there is a button to be added. (That’s the bonus of photos – seeing mistakes or missing parts!). All the blocks are now done so I need to start all the HSTs that are used […]
Birthdays And Bertie.
The second Bertie block has been completed and I have prepared the third, ready for stitching. I am enjoying working with the wool and it has also made me realise where the gaps are in my stash. That’s a good thing because now I can focus on the colours and patterns I need rather that […]
Tigers And AQC.
Football season started here several weeks ago and it turns out that our 4yo grandson needed a hat and scarf to support his team. The lovely part is he has chosen his team purely because of the animal emblem representing it – a tiger. So now it appears he will be a Richmond supporter. When […]
