I did dangle the idea of a crochet kit for Christmas before members of my family. Sadly it didn't materialise. I am without a project. When I go to Knit and Natter, I will just have to Natter, until I can think of something to crochet.

I'm going to knit some clothes for DGD's baby doll. She's currently dressed in vest and pants I knitted a while ago but I have a pattern for a dress and coat. Also a friend has given me a 'crafting journal' to make notes of each thing I make. As I will be filling in the date of finishing perhaps I won't have so many UFOs.

Still working on the claret red arran scarf for DIL. No matter how long I've knitted it, she says says she'd like it longer. Getting fed up of it now! Still working on the Isle of Man quilt and have long since forgotten how long it's taken me.

I'm signed up to go on a wool felting course on the 2nd week of January. I'm assured that the project can be finished in a day -- thankfully--. I'm interested in learning about mosaics too but the lady who ran courses in our town has left to live overseas, so will have to keep looking for that.

I am just finishing a car seat shawl for a baby due in February. Then I will try some crochet. My DDiL gave me a kit to make a bag. I have never learned to crochet, being very left-handed. But I will give it a go.

I’m a quilter - I’m just finishing off an art quilt as a Christening present for my first GD.....and my DD tells me she is expecting again ...so today I started designing the next one! I’ll post a picture when the first one’s finished!

I regularly make clothes for my granddaughter, but in addition I’m planning to make things throughout the year for my DD’s church Christmas fair. I’m currently curating a Pinterest board of ideas for this.

I am currently knitting a chef who is holding a knitted cake and on the cake I shall embroider the figures 90 as it is my friends birthday soon. Pattern is taken from a Jean Greenhowe book. Wish I could crochet.

I did knit socks at school , they were a disaster ! I have since managed to knit Aran cardigans jumpers hats scarfs but socks defeated me , I am curious to find out if crochet is better/easier
My craft at the moment is card making and that is getting boring so I will have to think of something

What are you making in the New Year? I'm going to have a stab at making crocheted socks. Wondering what other crafty grans are planning to make this coming new year.
