Catch Up

Hi, it has been a long time since I was last here.  In October I spilled coffee over my laptop keyboard and yes my computer died.  So I have only been able to access the internet on my phone.  However last week I got a new laptop and I am a happy person.  I missed it. Moral of the story is not to drink coffee while at the computer, LOL.

However, I was still able to crochet and I have lots to show but will do it bit by bit over the next few weeks.

I succumbed and have doing afghans again, but this time I am doing them in cotton, I have fallen I love with cotton,especially the Paintbox range so many colours.

 I am following a Cal - Lilliana by Hooked on Sunshine blog. I am managing to keep up to date too!  Here is some eye candy, I am not following the colours or the sequences of colours and just being random about my choice.

Part 4 done

 

part 5 completed

Nearly finished part 5 but Ambrose was having such a good sleep, I decided I will work on it tonight.

Here are some toys I have done for charity.

 

Have a good weekend see you all soon.

The year is whizzing by.....

Hi, do you feel that time slipping away at a rate of knots!  I do, September is nearly gone.

With that in mind I have made a start on my Christmas gift list, I am determined not to have a rush this year at the last moment.  So I made lists and I have worked a list that if I start now I can make handmade gifts for my family and friends.

This week, I have been working on sets of coasters or as I like to call them mug rugs.  

These are super easy to do and the link to the pattern is here.

Also, I have made some washcloths, which are becoming very popular here. 

This is quite a chunky cloth, ideal for a dishcloth, the cables are good for scrubbing.  The pattern is here, it is a Ravelry download but membership is free.

I love the fan shape but there were a lot of ends!  Pattern is here .

Ii have also finished a toy dog from the July issue of Simply crochet for my grand nephew.

 

 I have started on the donkey from the August copy for his brother.

While I am pleased that I have started on my Christmas list, I do wish the rain would stop, I so need to get into the garden!  So, hoping the next week will bring some sunny skies.

Thanks for visiting and will see you soon.
