Gloves

Okay, so I said at the start that I had a heap of projects underway that I want to finish before I start something new. Well, yet again I have made something else but I swear, it was a necessary item!.

I made myself some gloves and then made my friend a pair. They only took about an hour each pair so I haven't spent that much time on them!!!!

If you want the pattern, head over to Ravelry and search for my name (Tilly27) and you will find them under my projects!

Fash Washer's Galore

Well, I never thought I would be the sort of person who makes Face Washers. Grandmas make face washers and doilies and I make cool things!

That was, until a friend on Ravelry posted in her blog the entry titled "Facewasher Frenzy". After reading through her blog, I thought "Why not make a face washer and see how I go?" I didn't think I would enjoy it much and jsut thought it was something I could make for my niece and nephew and that would be the end of it. Boy, was I wrong! I can't get enough of crocheting face washers! I have only tried 2 patterns so far but I just love them. They are quick, portable and useful. I plan on making heaps more and have worked out which cottons I am going to buy when I next go to my LYS.

Now I just have to find grateful recipients for my handmade face washers!

P.S. Just because I made face washers, does not mean I will be making doilies next!

And so it begins.....

Well here I am, starting out yet another blog, hopefully this one I will be able to keep up with and add to it regularly.

What's on my hook at the moment? Well, as most knitters/crocheters know, you can never have just one project going at a time! So here are my WIP's (Work In Progress):

• Daisy Charity Square Blanket
• Men's Marvel Hat
• Sweater for my husband
• Elmo blanket for my nephew (it contains 1200 squares!)
• Ripple blanket for my friend
• Socks for myself
• 2010 Block-A-Month CAL on Ravelry (I'm at about April, lots of catching up to do!)
• I also want to do the 2009 Block-A-Month CAL as well

I also have a LOOOOONG list of patterns that I want to start on but I am trying not to allow myself to start on those until at least some of these items have been completed. (Although, as most of you know it is hard to stop yourself from making something that you just have to have! )

Check out some of the photos on Flickr (shown to the right) to see what I have done recently.

Happy Hooking!
