Row counter stitch markers



I have really gotten into making stitch markers lately, including ones with row counters on them. I have made a few sets but haven't photographed them all yet, here are the ones I have photographed:

These are markers that I made for someone on the Aussie Karma Swaps group on Ravelry.

These blue stitch markers have little hands on the end that say 'Hand Made". I have made these as a prize for my baby shower this Saturday.

Crochet for charity

My latest crocheting has been for our local church fete, which will be held tomorrow. I have been busy making beanies, in all sorts of colours for kids of all ages.
I have really enjoyed making these beanies and just need to weave in a few ends before taking them to the church tomorrow morning.
I also need to take some photos to add to my blog and ravelry page.
I wanted to make a few scarves too but I found them to be a little time consuming and wanted to donate as many items as I could.
I also have a couple of pattern tests on the go - a skirt for my niece and an elf hat which is designed to be a photography prop for babies.
I am also in the process of making a scarf for a swap in the Aussie Swappers group on Ravelry. I received the yarn - Debbie Bliss Pure Silk. I received it from my partner in hanks and as I don't have a yarn swift or ball winder, 1 hank took me and DH almost half an hour to wind and there are 3 hanks total! I will have to get onto winding it into balls so that I can start making the scarf.

I suck at blogs!

Well I officially suck at keeping blogs up to date!
My hands, yarn and hooks have been busy lately, making lots of new things, testing some patterns for other people and trying to get a head start on winter woolies.
Here is what I have recently finished:

And, I have recently started a double ended crochet hook blanket for my little JellyBean, who is due August 6th

I am also in the middle of making a scarf for the Autumn/Winter scarf swap over at Crochet Lovers Victoria on Ravelry, I am really enjoying making this scarf and can't wait to see my partners reaction to it.

I also started another blog, called The Adventures of Jelly Bean. Again, I have really sucked at keeping that one up as well, but I am about to head on over there and update everything!
