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.
