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 at last!

I have finally finished the hexagon blanket... 
Ta Dah.....!


After much deliberation and the purchase of  'Around the corner Crochet Borders' by Edie Eckman I went on my friend Sarah's advice and did a single row of delicate scallop to finish the edges


Which I think works really well and will look even better if I ever get around to blocking it....


It has become a firm sofa favourite used by us all and the cats. I bought the last 4 balls of this wool in the shop last week as it looked so lonely in the discount bucket so now I am using the 20 or so balls I have left and will hopefully make another 2 small blankets.

So now I need to finish my jumper as I only have the sleeves left to do. Maybe I will even get to wear it this summer, maybe....
