New Crochet Project

I have started my most challenging project - a tote bag pattern from 'The Hat & I' by Marken.
I saw this pattern on Pinterest when I first started - new stitches have been introduced and the confusing difference between UK and USA????
Progress to date.
Have to admit I have not made any progress on this - started something else - I'll get back to it!!!

Finished Quilt.

Baby present - loved these fabrics.

 

 

 

 

 

First attempt at slippers??

Looked at a few different patterns....then kind of decided to just do my own thing???
Bit of an idea in progress!!!

Birdy Tablemats

I love looking at Pinterest - lots and lots of crafty ideas from lots and lots of crafty people.
I saw this picture 'Happy Birdies Mug Rugs' and decided to make some new tablemats.

More fabric from my stash used up!!
Then I decided to make my new nephew a wee sign for his bedroom door - after I had it all sewn up and finished - I thought I should have made it reversable with "Shh...Baby Sleeping..." on the back...need to remember this for the next time.

Finished Simple Stacey!!!!

All finished and ready to put on Heather's bed - surprisingly this only took me a couple of weeks!!!

 

Patchwork - Simple Stacey

I saw this lovely quilt in the Australian Homespun Magazine - No.82 Vol.11 No.3
Lovely colourful quilt by Clare Mooney.
www.homespun.com.au And decided it would be a great way for me to try and
use up some of the fabric in my stash - basically my box with the bits 'n' pieces of fabric from other projects was getting out of hand!!!!

Next Crochet Bag

Second attempt - same wool but I used a 4mm Crochet Hook - the closer texture was better.

Crochet Bags

Moving on to my next project - I saw this lovely bag on Attic 24 - attic24.typepad.com/weblog/crochet-bag.html
This is one of my favourite blogs, loads of inspiring ideas and fantastic instructions.
First attempt - Double knit/8 ply using a 4.5mm Crochet hook.
