Getting ready to start

 

As you probably know, my husband Chris has been ill and in hospital. I simply haven't had time to start on my knitteds for my upcoming great-grand children.

Since Chris has come home, I have been able to start preparing, choosing wools and organising a place to keep all my crochet and knitting things...

I managed to find a knitting bag that looks like it will be big enough to keep all the things together at Temu. It was only $20AUD which was a bargain.

During the last few days, I have bought red wine coloured yarn made from bamboo and I am just waiting for it to be delivered.

It is due in a few days and I am excited and getting ready to start..

Another jacket on the way!

 

I have just got the good news that my grandson and his partner are having their first baby! It's early days yet so I have decided to make the lemon one.

I have already made my two granddaughters a green one each as green is their favourite colour.

I have found my bamboo circular needles using Patons 4 ply baby yarn. The blackberry stitch one is my favourite pattern...

When the girls find out the gender of their babies, I will make them a pink or blue one!

The soft green apple is done!

 

So today I finished this cardigan in Patons Soft green apple. I think Jess will like it... next one will be in white...

Personalised art

 When my granddaughter was born, I did a personalised picture which was framed. 

I designed it on Microsoft Picture It using a photo of her, printed the finished picture with high gloss photo paper.

At almost 13, she still has it among her other treasures, one being the little cuddle blanket I made her.

Creativity comes in all mediums.

Another new design in my shawls

 

Currently, I am crocheting a shawl in blue, pink and white. I haven't done a multicoloured one in these colours before, so I thought it would be fun to do it..

I will probably make 2 of them because they are still gender neutral...

My joy is complete when my new wools are delivered...

Hot off the press

 

This is my latest white shawl for my friends' daughter's first baby. I finished it last night. It's the standard pattern in 8 ply acrylic yarn. I used a 3.5mm hook.

I have already started a baby blue shawl and I plan to make a pink one after that.. generally I keep the colours gender neutral...

My heart is full..

 

Yesterday another delivery came of yarn for my future baby cardigans. I can't tell you how happy a full box of yarn makes me.

I already am planning the next project before I finish the one I am doing. I guess you could call me a prolific crafter!

As most people who sew can attest, acquiring new materials for future projects can become an obsession..

I am guilty as charged... and I love it!
