2010 CAL

Align CentreThese blocks are 30cm squared...they're part of a crochet along group I've joined on Raverly...we get a new pattern every month and at the end of the year we put them together to make a beautiful blanket. I make two squares a month so maybe I will make one blanket half year and one end of year....love how they are working out so far :D

starting slippers!

Have been wanting to make slippers for ages, am now taking the plunge (this is what they look like so far)
Found this awesome Japanese crochet slippers book at my local craft store...using that pattern
According to the book this is how cool my slippers are going to look by the time I am finished....ever hopeful!

recycled cotton yarn

This face washer, towel and basket set using recycled cotton (Red Heart Eco-Cotton Blend) is one of my latest obsessions, I want to make hundreds.....as you can see haven't yet finished one. But fall in love with is now as it's probably your next gift from me....you will love it ;)

cushion nearly done

Was rushing to get this done in time for German's birthday and made a mistake!!!
It really doesn't pay to rush :( so now I have to undo and redo the corner bit...*sigh* ...but it is going to look lovely when it's done :D

Rag Rug

Have started on making my first crocheted mat, it's really not hard to do and looks quite good, but more importantly, it keeps my feet warm as my flat is all cold white tiles

Still have quite a bit of work to go on it but am very happy with the results so far..

More Mongolian Scarfs



Pleased I was able to meet my goal of 4 (one further down on another post) hope they keep the children warm and, in some small measure, help them feel loved...

Baby Ripples

Have started a new baby blanket for a friend that is expecting....once again can't resist those ripples!

Mongolian Scarf

Unfortunately I no longer have a camera to use! I have made sooo many things but can't upload them here yet :( I have made four scarfs for the Mongolia childrens project, this was the first one that I lucky got a photo of before the camera was lost.

Have started a rag rug, cushion covers, made more scarfs for friends and have also started a baby blanket, hopefully will be able to update soon!

A new crochet fanatic

Meet Nicole....a self confessed perfectionist and my lastest student! Here she's wearing her first effort, a fab scarf, fantastic work for a beginninger! I can already see that it's just a matter of time before she surpases me to achieve the rank of master.....more power to you my friend A close up shot of her lovely scarf

Still got a while to go yet

Pink Ripples Done


Here is my finished pink ripple blanket, much to my delight this friend has asked me to make a ripple she can give to someone at Christmas, my first commission, how awesome is that!

scarfs

The urge to crochet is going into overdrive with the beginning of October (even though it's still stinking hot here in HK) Scarfs are calling to me....
....these autumn colours are my first attempt using mohair yarn...it's tricky but makes an interesting effect...
and here is a shades of aqua ripple scarf I've begun, can't seem to stay away from the ripples!

26 September 2009

growing fast

Here is the latest on my pink ripple creation, I have experimented with the colour combos a bit and am not sure what I think of the results....
....but I guess you've got to fiddle around to decide what you like, it's the multi-coloured pink and white-ish yarn that I'm not so fond off

14 September 2009

Pink Ripples

Have started a new ripple blanket, pink, for my dearest Kim O who I love and who loves pink :)

Getting ready to sew my blanket together, just need to make a few more squares

More Babette

Have now finished all of the 6 rounds in my Babette, and most of the 8 too.....
I am steaming along with this blanket....feeling very motivated!

08 August 2009

Babette love

Have finally finished blocking rounds 2 and 4 of my Babette blanket....still lots to do...
but am loving the results!!

02 August 2009

The Babette continues...

I am totally delighted with this blanket already....it's the first 100% pure wool blanket that I have made so far and am really enjoy the texture of the wool as I work....
Am planning to block every square....as you can see with this blue and purple baby it really does look much better, it's painstaking work though!
