Finally

I have finally finished the blanket that I started for one of my nephews. I am really pleased how it worked out. So am sending that off by the end of this month.

I have started another blanket. A friend of mine saw a pattern she liked so for a surprise I am trying to get it completed, however I have a funny feeling I won't get it finished as I have an assignment to get finished and handed in just after her birthday. So I'll try and juggle both.

Another Year

Its been a bad start already to this year with one of my nephews and one of my brothers in hospital and my husband being really poorly, hopefully he won't go into hospital either.

Anyway, I have started an Aghan blanket as a present for a friend's birthday. I know she likes the pattern as she commented on it when I was thinking of buying the book its in.

My First Pattern

This is my first pattern - a mobile phone cover for my sister-in-law.

Size 3.75mm needles
50g Patons Australia Smoothie Wool - Colourway 2019

Cast on 40 stitches
Row 1: (K2, P2) Repeat to end
Row 2: (K1, P2, K1) Repeat to end
Row 3: (P2, K2) Repeat to end
Row 4: (P1, K2, P1) Repeat to end

Repeat these rows for 40 rows, then cast off.
Sew side and bottom

Two Projects Completes

I managed to complete 2 of my projects last night. My friend's 30th is coming up and I've done a hat and wrist warmers as a present. I hope she likes them. I'm now onto my secret santa which needs posting. I've decided to go for the old slippers this time!! Pics of the pressies are attached.

Redoing the Crafty Thing

I have had a few hectic months, but I'm back to crafting again. I've started a Birthday present for my friend. Its called Snug and is in the Fun & Funky Knitting by Emma King. I'm also going to do the Fuchsia hat in the same colours. I'll post pics once I've managed to finish them.

Have seen a great pattern for a musical friend!!
