Just found this in drafts from 2016. So much has changed since then.

2016, where did the rest of the time go?

Hello! Boy it has been a while. I have changed jobs, I am now a Taxi Driver...lol
and most days I work 12 hours and 5/6 days a week so I don't get much time to do alot.

I did manage to complete a Rainbow Blanket, which was part of a yarn club I joined hosted by the lovely Samantha at Unbelievawool, I first bought some of her yarn at Wonderwool Wales last year, I followed her Facebook group and well I have to say I love her colourways in her yarn.

Yes I actually finished a Blanket, I have started a few more of course! But with this one I could take to work as it was small squares, and I finished the blanket at the craft group I go to once a month.

2018...Hello

Well I wasn't sure if i could still sign in, but here I am. 

Doubt there are any people but this is mostly for me to try and keep on at my temperature blanket.

I am using Attic 24's Woodland blanket as a pattern, using the lowest and highest temperatures of the week. So that will be 104 rows (I hope)

If it snows then I might add a white row, so it may be more than 104.

So as this first week is already over the first two rows are going to be Turquoise and Mint, my foundation chain is going to be grey, as will any border.

Nearly the end of June

Where does the time go. I had hoped time would go slower as I got older, but no it seems you blink and it's gone. 

Here is my current project originally it was a shawl I was making with this yarn but I decided I did not like it. So I saw a fab tutorial on YouTube by Bag 'O' Day. Not sure about it now as she did say it was an XL size but I will be amazed if this fit a child. I am determined to finish this. 

I will try and get pics of my current WIP,s and post them on here.

 Oh one more thing 

Do you like my tattoo?

Have a good day xxx

June Update

Wonder wool Wales

I bought some goodies.

I started a T-shirt yarn basket

And an Entrelac blanket

And a V stitch blanket.

Woolly Stuff

I have been hooking as usual, not much to show but I have started yet again another blanket. I did some fingerless mitts. And some CAL mystery squares 

Oh and I was making yet another blanket.

I have some yarn pics to share

Love to craft

Today was Quiltathon day in Old Dalby, I did arrive at 9am I certainly didn't make it to 11pm, even though it is called that it is just a do whatever craft you wish from 9am to 11pm. I left just before 8pm. I did a workshop today. Making a heart decoration. And I made my second tablemat set, had to add Cats!

When I left I had started a bag, here it is when I got home. Just the outside done.

But had a play today it is nearly finished just need to put handles on it now. For my first bag I am quite pleased. I did sort of ignored the instructions after a while as they were confusing me.

Kit on Ebay[SOLD]

I have put this kit on Ebay if anyone is interested, it is unopened kit. Absolutely love it but I am sure I will never get round to doing it

I currently don't have access to a computer. So I am going to attempt a post from my phone.

I did a workshop last week and I made the first set of placemats.

Today the work shop was to do this, I used one of my wedding photos

And here is my cat tea cosy.

Changes

I am still crocheting bits and bobs, and trying to keep up with a few exchanges. but their will be some changes this year so I may not be around as much, I will post as and when I can and remember too.
I am going to Wonderwool at the end of April, and looking forward to it also meeting up with some ladies I have spoke online to for many years but never met!
I hope the weather is not too bad where you are xx

Plans for 2015

As you know from my last post I am going to Crochet some items for Charity, I am hoping to keep a record here on my blog.(Fingers Crossed)

 But I am going to try and attend more events also this year, I will be going to Yarndale, and maybe some others if funds allow.

 I am hoping to document my stash purchases as well, I do have a Ravelry account so mostly it will be on there, but I am hoping to share with you all.

So yesterday I bought some wool and today some wool came in the post.

 

This was bought from B & M

 

I bought this Patons Fab, from The Range.

 

I also took a trip to Hobbycraft for some more Women's Institute Premium wool

 

I did finish this hat which is a challenge from The Crochet Crowd

 

It is sized for a small woman as it is too small for me, but it will go towards my charity crochet.

 

I also made a cover for a Diary, for my Charity makes for Big Hearts Square Group on Facebook I used some pure wool mini balls I bought at The Bakewell show.

 

 

Oh the wool that came in the post today.

This mini skein pack is from The Knitting Goddess.

 

This is called Drop Dead Fred(who remembers that film?) from the The Yarn Tree who is actually based in Derby, so I love buying locally

 

 

New year wishes (pic heavy)

For you all, I had a lovely Christmas and New year, I hope you all did.
We had my Mum over Christmas day and New Years Day. I got some lovely pressies, I hope you did too.

I found this half done in an old JCS ornie mag so I finished the stitching, It may get made into something before next Christmas,

 My puddy cats came to stay at mine over Christmas, I am not suppose to have pets in the house but better than them being alone xx
