I'm back

Good morning all hope to find you well.

You may have noticed the lack of posts recently,

apart from the Papertake Weekly posts

i decided to have a little break over Christmas time.

I went cold turkey......ish on anything papery which

freed up a lot of time to divulge into the new 

love of my crafty life Crochet/Knitting.

What could be better than looking at a basket
full of brightly coloured wool.

 

don't they look scrummy.

This is the wool i'm using for my latest project

here's a sneaky look at it so far.

It's going to be a scarf, but actually i love 

the way it looks over my wool basket.

I might have to make some more to trim it.

Looking around blogland i have seen a few 

flower scarves and thought they looked so lovely,

but could not find a pattern, then i found out that

the pattern came from a Japanese Crochet book.

Not being able to speak or read Japanese buying the book 

was a no no.  So i decided to get a close up of one of the flowers and made a pattern up myself and this is

what i came up with, I'm so chuffed with it.

Listen to me, I've only made 9 at the moment

there's another 37 to go

i may not feel the same in a bit.

I also wanted to show you a couple of fab pressies 

that Santa brought.

 He brought me a new knitting bag to keep all my

hooks and needles in it's so gorgeous.  I also got

this fab book which is actually a tin full of

loveliness.

 

 Aren't these sooooo yummy.

 

This is what you can make, but it's so

lovely with little iddy biddy balls of wool in such delish colours i might have to just stroke it for the time being.

Ok i've got to be good now and actually get some

housework done the laundry basket it close 

to overflowing. I don't know! this housework

keeps getting in the way of some serious crafting.

 Lol.

Thanks for looking today 

i'll be back tomorrow with this weeks

Papertake challenge.

Take care
