Fair thee well tardis blanket number two!

| June 27, 2012

Right, I cant do it, or rather, I cant not do it.. This blanket has way too many errors for this early on, it is going to have to be rolled back, due to the changes in colours and all that its a long process and involves plenty of swearing. How far back? I will […]

Costs of crochet

| June 9, 2012

So, those of you who saw http://blog.crochet-crazy.com/2012/06/07/tardis-blanket-a-flatter-picture/ will know, and it turned out about right, that it was 180 hours of crochet, now, while I know I made few mistakes once my cough started, but, the reality is, people wont pay a lot for even something hand made, and individually made for them. Now, if I did […]

The making of my tardis blanket, and the end of the weekend and my week off. Doesn’t seem like I got very far. 🙁

patient pending?

My solution to the wall winding pains. Ball of wool goes in carrier bag on the iron holder. Which is held on by 1 handle. The wool goes through the loop in the other. I can then clamp the winder easily on the board. Yay

The blue blanket is finished!

| May 7, 2012

It didnt take too long and because the back isnt as tidy as usual because I carried the black and white while switching it, there werent many ends, so its all done! Its sitting on a 3 seater sofa so you can see its of reasonable size. I made it so I can snuggle under […]

Driving miss crazy!

| May 5, 2012

OK, I bought a new wool winder a while back, cos they really help, and I thought a different style might wind easier, etc.. The new one is the one on the right – with the guider for the yarn. It does make small tidy balls but, I think unless you have 50g balls this […]
