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

Granny Squares.....

So it has become a bit compulsive this granny square lark and the pile seems to be growing

So I thought it was time to do something with them, but first I had to weave in all the ends which took ages


Then I set about sewing the squares together


Which took a while as I am rubbish at sewing


Halfway there

So here it is, the colours are a bit garrish as I was using scraps of colour but Noah is delighted with it even if it is more teddy sized than small boy sized

The edging isn't straight but I think it brings the whole thing together

I am still crocheting hearts and will hopefully have enough to make the bunting soon as I have enjoyed choosing buttons and ribbon to decorate them with. I will post pics soon
