Here are the crochet ravings of me, the projects I do, and items related to the site. I apologise Im not a great blogger, I have good intentions but get easily side tracked, especially by my crochet hook.

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

So. Yes I made a mistake. But it was many rows back before I saw it. Sigh.

So, while today was a busy day what with getting my 3 dogs their annual checkup and jabs. Sawing down my best budlea which fell over last week and is trying to die. I did 16 rows. Despite the 3 row rollback.
Here’s a corner. Otherwise you can’t see a thing!

Here you see the first few rows. Sadly I got a bit further and did the bottom of the doors but forgot the middle of the door join so had to undo 4 rows. Sigh. the dangles are my own made stitch markers – yes thats 1 every 10 stitches, there are 200 stitches a row.

I have elected for a much smaller hook for this to get resolution.
So. Here’s the first ball wound and ready to go!

You will be glad to hear the How I did that section is now fixed, all those pesky pictures that had run away, are now back.

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 it on the sofa 😛
I think any bright colour in the middle would work well, so its a very adaptable design. I really need to get into selling some patterns..
So, what do you think?

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 is a waste of life.This is what happens as you use them.
Now, this is the worst of 2, but this took over an hour to deknot! come on, it was wound carefully as a ball and it took an hour to undo what it did to itself! ARGH!
While this one looks less of a knot, actually I wound it onto the cone of the worst winder by hand, and then as I was winding it onto the proper winder, (you cant wind direct as you need to feed it through itself a lot), it tied itself in another knot, so theres most of that now in an ignored knot thrown at the other couch!
Finally..
Look! I made some stitch markers, I made loads actually, these were the first 3, I think I made somewhere between 40 and 50 !!

For those of you who’ve found it on other places, I thought I’d add a picture of my current peice of work – its a lapgan.
