…another holiday is on the way!

Valentines and easter to be exact.

I found some very cute Crocheted Hearts that are perfect for valentines themed gifts. I also have my very own pattern for woolly eggs for easter. I also have my Pay It Forward gift to do. I know just what I’m going to make I just need to get started. I hope it comes out ok! I also started a Little Star Afghan another I’m bored, what I can I make that’s easy, project. It’s going quickly. I’m at row 17 (after the initial shaping) and it’s about a foot and a half long already. I’m using the left over Family Favourites yarn I had, with the addition of some blue I had lying around from Woolworth’s.

Really bad webcam picture sorry!

Beth’s Little Star Afghan ♥ || ♠

Started: Tuesday 7th of January 2008
Needle: 3.5mm Pony
Yarn: Remnants of lilac FF, cream FF and baby blue acrylic

Can’t share any other projects in case any one has a look hehe.

Byes for now!

Well I was bored so I started another project.

The Strawberries and Cream Pinwheel Sweater.

Started: December 2nd
Needles: Pony 16 inch 4.5mm’s
Yarn: Left Overs
For: ???

Done the correct way this time . Clever Starry. I’m about 5 rows short of moving on to the sleeves the sleeves will probably take me a few days. Same garter stitch on the sleeves though. And also I saw an awesome ribbed one on ravelry and I want to try that too now. I think I might make a mini one for my doll once she’s finished of course. She still needs shoes and socks besides her face tut. My mom is already calling me a neglectful mother lol! We are crazy .

I also started a crocheted baby jacket but I know this one is going badly when the back seems almost as large as the pinwheel and it’s supposed to be 1-3 months :|. Won’t make a very good baby gift but maybe it can be salvaged for an older child.

I’ve been going stir crazy at home lately. I have had awful joint pains especially in my hips so I haven’t been sleeping too well . Hopefully once my bloods come back we’ll know a bit more what’s going on. Does mean I have been stuck at home a lot though. Which usually I would love but with the weather so dreary I crave the sunshine.

I got a few new CD’s though which gives me something new to listen to, plus the additional projects now. I have a meeting on Friday (joy of joys) least I have something to do though .

Time for bed now!

Ok I haven’t been blogging but I have been busy, honest! I’ve almost finished my Amigurumi Doll and I made her a dress while I was on the train bored. It doesn’t fit quite how I’d like but I think once I make the shirt to go under it will be fine.

Also finished the Pinwheel Sweater. Yay! I’ve fallen out with the girl who it was suposed to go t so I’ll just keep it for my hopes chest. Just needs a wash, blocking and sealing up. That reminds me need to get some of those vacuum seal bags. Useful in that damp bedroom.

So now I have got the hang of this crochet doll making I have lots of idea for my own so I’m gonna have a go at that. Need more wool though… Then I want to make something for my sister and my friend. I need to replace the circular needles I appear to have lost. So another trip to John Lewis’ I expect. May as well make it one big shop.

I went to the hospital to have blood taken on Wednesday and the previous week I had my gynae appointment. The doctor recommended the GI diet. Don’t know if I’ll be able to stick to it though. Cuts out a lot of things I love like bread and sugar lol. Well not so much sugar as chocolate. I think I will wait till after Christmas to start in earnest. My arm still bloody hurts though! That nurse butchered me, I wanna sue! I hate having blood taken. Sucks.

Any who things to do people to see!

Well whatever it is I’ve done it with this uber cute amigurimi doll pattern from Stitch. I’ve almost completed the head and it’s been fun so far, until I realised I was using the wrong crochet technique… oops! I’m so used to making hats I was crocheting into the back loop so she’s gonna be a bit stripey but thats ok. No WIP pics as yet though.

In other news I signed up for my first Knit along. Oooh scary . Ok not so scary but it’s a mystery one so I don’t know what I’m knitting or crocheting yet. Hopefully will be good fun.

I’m tired now so gonna watch a bit of TV and hit the hay.

Night all!
