So... what am I getting to?
Well.
I present exhibit A
A classic granny square.
In a nice chunky cream wool.
I have frogged it back several times as I was never completely happy
(still not)
It no longer looks like the photo.....
Aah.. this more like it.
Not quite finished and probably about to be frogged again.
I ran out of wool
and had to eke it out very carefully.
Fortunately fav sis-in-law has a cone of it left
and generously offered it to me!
Woo-hoo!!
Yes - my toe nails are different colours....
S'pose I could be forgiven then for not finishing my granny mat w.i.p..
I now present exhibit B
Bright colours in cotton and buttons
A quick and instant gratification fix
Bunting.
I oohed and aahed at it's bright little bunts
and the happy little buttons.
Himself asked where I was going to put them.
The catlings (yes - they have grown) thought
they were brilliant and tried to steal them.
They now reside in a box.
(bunts not catlings - although that is an idea hmmm)
*sigh*
I also present (part of) exhibit C
A slipper clog for Eldest.
Made with two strands of pure wool (pre-felted)
The wool is something out of my stash,
a bag of 4 x 50gm balls .
He loves it (it? - where is the other?)
here.................
Youngest is waiting for his slipper clogs too.
I present exhibit D & E
String bags - I am at it again.
Thought that making 17 over the festive time would have been enough....
Apparently not.
And the reason for all this nervous energy? Well - I have so much going on in my head regarding our YARNIVAL that I feel that it will explode! Never mind, at our next knit and natter we are going to get down to the serious side of things.
*watch*this*space*is all I can say!!
Ooh how exciting!
Shame I have to do this boring thing called work!
loving it all, the bunting is my favourite x
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! I was 'shocked' at the size of the crochet mat - it is huge. I agree with TextileQueenie as the bunting is my favourite too.
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same chunky cream yarn that I've ripped back a ton of times, just don't know what to do with it!
ReplyDeleteLove the slipper it looks very cosy and yet very lonely ;)
Me again! If your toe nails had been all the same colour, I would have been disappointed.
ReplyDeletewow- so much crochet!! and its all so beautiful!!!! you have been crazy busy!!
ReplyDeleteI love that mat! Must show my friend Vicki, as I'm pretty sure she'll be inspired. There's a similar one on Annaboo's house blog if you want to look: http://annabooshouse.blogspot.com/2012/01/doily-rug-chapter-2.html
ReplyDeleteSo wish I could be part of your Yarnival!

I'm loving all the projects. The mat is excellent, and I could really use a string bag myself. Bunting is colourful fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat super projects!! The granny mat is absolutely wonderful...such a modern take on an old-fashioned concept!!
ReplyDeleteThe 'button bunting' and string bags really appeal to me, too...with all of the lovely colors!
gosh! you have been busy! it's great to have an outlet for all that excited energy though isn't it?
ReplyDeletep.s.
thanks for sharing ... it's nice to know i'm not the only one with a short attention span and a growing box of wip's :)
I'm out of breath just reading that! Those shopping bags are great, I want one.
ReplyDeleteWow, you've done an amazing number of projects! They are all beautiful and colorful, great job!
