Starburst Afghan . . . Almost Finished . . .

Finally finished all the crochet on this blanket, just the dreaded ends to be sewn in and a little bit of blocking, but with its size and the weather i'm not sure how i'm going to do it...

Thick n' Quick Scarf . . .

Found this crazy ball of wool, its quite chunky yarn, its also very rare i see a colour change yarn in purple so I bought it for fun and have made a scarf. This scarf was Tunisian crocheted in the knit stitch which i've never used before and think it really works with chunky wool and a massive crochet hook...

Vacuum Packed Wool . . .

I finished the jumper for Esther quite early in the summer and before I went back to college a couple of weeks ago I remembered I had to sew in the ends. After it was all sewn up I had a sneeky try on and decided I wanted one for myself. I had a few balls of lilac marble colour change J.c.Brett wool which I started with and I only got as far as the body before I was all out. 

I ordered some more off of ebays and it arrived like this - vacuum packed - amazed, it made my day, id never have thought to do this...to begin with i was a little concerned as it what it was id bought, but i popped the plastic and puff back into balls of wool they turned. 

 

Happy Birthday Bunting with a little Crochet . . .

My sister has recently gone to Uni and wouldn't be home today her Birthday so I made this bunting, a mixture of fabric and crochet so she had a present to open but also something to decorate her room.

Starburst Entrelac Afghan: Update. . .

Chunky Granny Square: Update. . .

Chunky Granny Square . . .

I've so far finger-knitted approx 400g of acrylic dk and then using my massive (not actually sure what size it is) wooden crochet hook to create the granny square motif...I'm hoping to use 10 100g balls for a good sized blanket, with a contrast colour to finish around the edge...

Starburst Entrelac Afghan . . .

Slowly working on this Afghan since my holiday, its disrupting a lot of dissertation research...whoops! I haven't done a lot with Tunisian crochet so this is quite interesting how each diamond slowly expands.

Purple Vest . . .

This vest like most of my others has been adapted from a Doris Chan original. I have experimented with altering the stitch pattern on several vests and jumpers, this time I have used a combination of those possible patterns to create an almost chevron design.

Crochet White Vest . . .

Another vest, this time I finished it with an edging from the internet, it was described as 'goth' perfect for halloween costumes...this is a present for a relative, I'm glad it doesn't look 'goth' in white...

Alice's Jumper Complete. . .

Once she had decided upon the colours to finish the jumper it didnt take too long to hook up and be finished...yeye...

Alice's Jumper WIP . . .

I have been slowly adapting a Doris Chan pattern, first my florescent pink jumper by adding arms to her vest design along with numerous vest were I have altered the stitch pattern slightly. This is another alteration combining a different stitch pattern and sleeves for my sister to use up some balls of creme beige yarn I've had for ages. There isn't enough for a full jumper so a colour change is in order...

Just Got To Sew In All The Ends . . .

And then the jumper for Esther should be finished, now I just hope it fits...
