Project 20 - Green Poles

It's been a while since I've posted any of my projects. No excuse. I've found a whole bunch of groups on Facebook and have been looking at some amazing projects people are making from all over the world - and I have so much to aspire to!

Anyway, here's another baby blanket - I really love this stitch and these colours work well (I think).
Pierre seems pretty happy with it too!

It's off to the Shellharbour Hospital Ladies auxiliary 

Project 19 - Honeycomb - Musk, White and Beige

This one is from the archive - I really enjoyed making this - it didn't take to long and the honeycomb look with the stripes is effective (I think!).  I should make another one similar to this in the near future....

I really love the edging of this too.  Different to the regular shell design I do - keeping in line with the geometric look... 

Project 18 - Using some donated wool

This wool came from the ladies at the Shellharbour Ladies Auxilary, it's always difficult to know what designs to use - as most balls are different ply and/or different dye lots.  I'm pretty happy with both of them, although they're a little small.  I imagine them being used for lap rugs in aged care.

What's in my craft bag?

Scrunched 

Corner and edging - I think it looks smart.

Whole rug on my floor. You can see the different colours more obviously here.

What would my post be without at least one shot with Pierre... 

Whoops. I ran out of the maroon, pink and grey and the rug was still too small, so I used some spare white at both edges to make it bigger.  In hindsight I should have used white throughout, but I think it looks kind of OK.

I'm back making some baby blankets with purchased wool now, and should have more to show you soon!

Oh BTW, I've started a Facebook page, drop by and like my page! Love to see any projects you're working on there...

Project 17 - Beige cable stitch

This design takes a lot of wool, although once you start it's reasonably simple to do.  This isn't the biggest rug, but would work well for a pram.

You've seen him previously, but let me introduce Pierre Bear - he is French - from Galleries Lafayette in Paris - 25+ years ago. He's the perfect model, probably a little smaller than a newborn, but he always has a smile on his face and loves all my work!

Project 16 - Fawn edging with coloured metered squares

It's been a while since I've posted.  Doesn't mean I haven't been busy with the crochet hook and wool!

With a lot of extra unused coloured balls, I bought some fawn to tie it all together and created different coloured metered squares. I'm not sure if it worked well, but it's something different and would look fabulous on a baby's cot.
