Day 89: Small Hello Kitty Bag

Another Hello Kitty bag, in a smaller size for another birthday gift.

Day 88: Non-Assistance

Loki decided that he would be ever-so-helpful and curl up on the afghan that I am crocheting. It makes it a bit difficult to turn at the end of a row.

Day 84: My Quickest Project

Today I fancied finding a project for some of my favourite aran wool, and found a quick and easy pattern for some Mary Jane slippers from OhMyGoodKnits. I was rather shocked at how easy they were, and that they took me only about three hours to complete.

Day 83: Purple Baby Afghan

I've finally completed the purple baby afghan that I wanted to make for a friend, and I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out.

Day 75: Making birthday gifts

The Imp is all of a sudden a social butterfly, and starting with next weekend has three birthday parties for four little girls to attend. Because I'm on my crochet kick, I've decided to make them each a little bag, and I'm experimenting with Hello Kitty and some new-to-me techniques. Hmm...I reckon I've made this one just a touch too big, and I must have one for myself because it's turned out so pretty :P

Day 72: A Very Happy Bunny

The Imp wanted to show off her new bag this morning. :)

Day 71: Bunny Bag!

I'm quite pleased to announce that I've managed to finish a project, even if I did have to improvise (a lot). The Imp spotted me looking at the pattern for a Peeps-a-Boo bag from Caron Yarns. I couldn't quite suss out how they did their granny squares, so I went for the basic ones that I know how to do. The Imp chose the pastel wool for something else, she wanted it to be a messenger-style bag like what I carry, and I don't yet own a tapestry needle, so the eyes and nose are buttons. I'm actually quite pleased with how it's turned out...she'll love to see it done in the morning.

Day 70: Pastel Explosion

This is what happens when I let the Imp choose wool. I have done a couple of my granny squares for my project with it, but after seeing a cute pattern for a bag, I'm currently working on making it for her. Fingers crossed I should finish it tomorrow, to share.

Day 61: Concentration

Today was Grumpy Saturday, and we've spent the day shopping, and having a late lunch. Whilst waiting for her food, the Imp happily got stuck in with colouring the mat. I love the level of concentration that it requires for her to work on the precision of colouring, and it's a good thing that I keep a box of Crayola's in my handbag, because the four colours of the free crayons just aren't enough for her liking.

Day 26: Crochet Scarf

After spending December making scarves for gifts, then realising that I hadn't made one for myself, I decided to splurge a little and treat myself to some posh wool. I couldn't find any that I liked at my normal shop, so wandered up to a little specialist shop about a month ago, and realised that I should have gone in there ages ago. I'm like a complete kid in a sweet shop who can't decide where to start! After looking at the entire selection, I decided on some lovely lustre extra fine merino dk, but couldn't decide on the colour, so went with most of them. I finally completed my gorgeous feeling scarf today, after finishing the crochet work early this morning, and getting more colours to finish the fringe.
