The Dark Side....

Well as Helen would say..... I have been over to the dark side...In this case, Crocheting. I am very happy with my first completed crocheted hat, using the wool that I bought a while ago from Applehead. It only took me aabout a day (mind you, it was a lazy day...Alex was home and I crocheted). The picture doesn't show it well, but there are 3 flowers on the side too.
I will be purchasing more from Applehead to make some more I think.


Just thought I would also share a picture of James 'dressed up'. I have realised that he actually really enjoys dressing up at the moment, and I should have participated in the dress up swap. Oh well, more reason to start sewing I suppose.....

A Scarf and Some Very Special Fabric

I have finished my crocheted scarf.......I love it. It is so soft, and the colours look great. I had to undo it a few times as I kept losing stitched and then picking them up. I know where I went wrong, but I still have no idea how to correct it for next time. However, I think that once the scarf is sitting around my neck this winter, noone will even notice.



I also have to post pictures of the Signature Prints Florence Broadhurst fabric we picked up at the warehouse sale on the weekend. These fabric are destined for cushion covers (probably later this year), possibly a cover for a pinboard (for the study), and some bag (desperately wanting to use my new Amy Butler patterns from Corrie).

Applehead Yarn

I purchased some woollen yarn from Appleseed
The delivery was quick and I was so excited when I opened the package and found the two skeins of wool - one in Rose Garden, the other in Denim...... along with 2 Small People postcards. Thank you Marianne!
The Rose Garden skein is half way to becoming a crocheted scarf.....
