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

Finished blanket.....well nearly

I have finally finished sewing together the hexagons


I am really pleased with it and love the colour combinations with the variegated wool. I still have over half the hexagons left and another 6 balls of wool but I changed my mind about making a bed spread as I didn't want this to be hidden away on my bed but to add colour and warmth to my front room. I will sew together another smaller one for my french nephew who watched me crochet with utter fascination on his last visit and then make one for my step mother for Christmas.

However I still don't think it looks finished 


I know I still need to tidy up the threads but I think it needs some kind of border to finish it off. There are only 3 options in my Crochet Encyclopaedia so I have ordered 'Around the corner crochet Borders' hoping for some inspiration.

I hope you like it, I love it!
