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.

Due to needing to order the yarn for my Dads blanket, I thought Id make one just like it out of colours I already have.
So, Ive spent a few hours on this now and..
Its not a great photo, had issues getting it lit well enough, blubs gone in my light and the shops shut.. sigh.

So, next blanket is in the plans, its been designed, colours picked, only problem now? One of the colours wasnt on the online list to buy. Sigh. So, Ive written to them to find out if they can get me the colour I want. If not a bit of a recolour is in order – again.. sigh.

So.. 2009 rapidly approaches, its just days away..
Ive found myself short of willing victims for my produce at the end of this year, I should be more forceful and just *make* stuff, and give it to random people wether they want it or not, Id sell the stuff on ebay but heck I know tight fisted people wouldnt pay enough to cover the costs let alone the hours, and then Id have to go through all the hassle of posting and bleh… someone would whine and Id wanna go slap em a few times..
I have hopes to make a blanket or rug for a friend in 2009, assuming they let me and give me some colours and hopefully an idea of pattern they’d like..
I think in fairness I need to plan some pressies and just make them, but also this year I hope to start creating some simple patterns and selling them. Some tunisian, fillet and general afghan patterns – doubt Id get to publish any anywhere other than maybe on my site, but, heck, as long as people like them I think its worth it, theres little done in life for the fun and love of it.. Sure, if I could make a living from it, Id love to.
What do you think??
I wonder how many people even see this..
Leave me a msg. Thanks

So.
Having made 3 scarves for christmas, I realised only today (having handed them over yesterday) I never took a photo.
Darn.

So.
Its that time of year to be pumping out christmas stuff and with the “credit crunch” hand made is a good option.
I have 3 people Im making scarfs for, pictures to follow 🙂

Having not really crochetted anything of major value for a month, Ive poked at some yarn, reused it a ton of times, I saw on a mailing list last night a winter hat.. Now, Im not into hats, I hate hats in fact, however, in winter, a wooly hat, especially for dog walking, is all but essential.. It must be warm.. They looked warm, so I had to try it.
The original pattern has a different rim, when I made it I didnt quite like the look so I chose to change it aslightly.
The original pattern can be found here

So, I realised I never told you I finished Chris’ blanket, so, I finished about a month back, heres a pic not long after I had finished.
Chris has now received his blanket, and I hope very happy with it.

I dont have much time for crochet at the moment, what with holding down 2 paid jobs and 1 volenteer. However, I did sneak this in, Ive made it for someone whos birthday is at the end of August, I may have to make a small alteration to the belt, or make a second belt, as it is appropriate to do so (dont want to give too much away)..
But this is a cheap teddy I bought in a local store for about $8, and some simple crochet to make a Gi, and belt. To make a personal pressie to someone whos been good to me the last couple of years.
