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.
This is how far I've got with my mitred square Memory Blanket. I'm literally using up my stash, so the colours are a bit random. When I have finished it, I'll crochet around the edge with a picot stitch. Highly addictive!
Knitting glove puppets, finishing off a Christmas (don't mention it yet!!) childrens jumper, and making a hat to match a baby jumper for my niece! Yes I'm a messy crafter, surrounded by half finished projects. They will get done though, just have to spend more time on the garden this time of year!!
Just finished 3 knitted blankets and 9 baby hats for the Linus project and handed them over. Ordered some more wool as hardly any left. While I wait for it to come will get on with a tray cloth I am embroidering. Started it some time ago but it’s difficult to see in artificial light, the longer evenings mean I can get on with it again. Love the painting why,why,why, you are very talented, I really wish I could draw and paint.
Just finished a jacket, can't post a picture as I took it into Soho this morning to have the buttonholes done. Never do them myself as machine will do a perfect practice one and then, when I try to do a real one it will chew the fabric! Will post a picture next week after I collect it.
I was given a bright red chest of mini drawers and thought I’d refurbish to use as storage for lots of sewing stuff and associated. I’ve been looking for mini drawers for ages, so the fates were smiling on me.
Such beautiful projects, and such as talented crafters! I’m just knitting matinee jackets now for our local premature baby units. It’s a very basic all-in-one pattern which suits me just fine!
I am crocheting a Granny Squre blanket , trying to use up some of my stock of wool and to use in the caravan. My next project will be a ‘ Dune‘ blanket from Attic 24. Also in the middle of a garden themed quilt.
Just to say lindiloo your local care home would snap your throws up for their home. I recently lost my dear mam and gave hem blankets I'd knit for her and they were extremely grateful. Just a thought.
