Welcome to my Blog, a Crafting Year

Hello
I taught myself to knit in 2011 I have been posting photos of my knitting creations on facebook but as I am starting to bore my friends I have created this blog to record my progress. Then I thought I might try my hand at other crafts and see how I get along. I will try a different craft every month and you can read about my successes and failures and even laugh at my photos as I try different things like felting, crochet, sewing, papercrafts etc and try and make a few things from the kids favourite book Star Wars crafts, amongst others...lets see how it goes

Books and lots of them!

I have just added a list of books that I have used so far and had to post about the gorgeous book I recieved for Christmas called
A Stitch in Time: Vintage Knitting patterns  
by Susan Crawford & Jane Waller

It really is a stunning book with knitting patterns from the '30's, 40's & 50's all rewritten but with the original patterns printed alongside.It is a joy to look at and I am really looking forward to attempting patterns such as 'One never tires of Ribbing!'
