Spinning and crochet

A little bit of this and that!

I noticed the other day that I haven’t posted anything crafty for simply ages.

This doesn’t mean that I haven’t been doing any, of course I’ve always got at least two projects on the go. It’s just sometimes I forget to photograph them and then the moment passes, you know what I mean I’m sure. A day without any crafting is NOT a good day in my book!

So anyway let me share a few things I’ve been up to.

Look at this glorious squidgy Corridale roving, it’s what I made my beautiful shawl with and I have plenty left, it spins beautifully, fine and soft, dreamy, dreamy cloud grey heaven.

I’ve spun a couple of bobbins without really thinking what to make.

I’ve also spun some Blue Faced Leicester bought from the talented

Patricia at Yummy Yarns.

Hmmmm I wonder………….

……………Plied together, a subtle heathery marled yarn which

I LOVE!

I have an idea to make a jumper or cardigan with some Fair Isle edging.

I’m thinking of using a Kaffe Fassett inspired pattern for a border, something like this pattern.

Haven’t decided properly yet but I’ll see what emerges!

I like to let the yarn tell me what to do.

Ha ha that sounds completely crazy doesn’t it, but I think you crafty lot will know what I mean!

I’m also making a little purse, here is the yarn being blocked.

And just as a relaxing project I’ve been making a V stitch blanket.

Have you tried this stitch yet.

DO IT it has to be one of the most relaxing pretty stitches ever.

I found the pattern on Pinterest (of course) and just for a change I’m not using white or cream at all.

I am loving the jewel bright colours.

So now we’re all caught up.

What projects have you all been enjoying recently?

Are you like me a crafting butterfly flitting from one thing to another?

Or do you stick to one thing at a time keeping going till it’s finished?

Do share!

See you soon.

Love

Thanks Amy I'm really enjoying this blanket, it's a real no brainer and as an added bonus it makes me feel so happy when I look at all those glorious colours.
