Find a name?

I made this square whilst sat watching Blade steak another vampire. Not sure why this is relevant lol. When i look at it now it looks rather Gothic what do you think? Couldn't think of a name for it. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :o)


This square was done from a pattern in 200 squares and blocks book by Jan Eaton. I love this book as it makes an awesome reference and inspiration when doing afghans :o)

sparkles scarf



This scarf was done for a little girl who just adores pink sparkles.
My very first attempt at a bag. It was made to match the poncho i did for the little girl. I don't think it turned out so bad for a first time effort. What do you think? :o)

A mile of chocolate and fudge





I just adore this afghan. The pictures don't show the colours very well but the pattern from my head just worked so well. This is currently on eBay being sold by my hubby. Hope you all like it :o)


Well seen as my hubby made me the scarf i had to make my self a hat to match. I love how this has turned out. It is amazing how a few fpdc makes something very special. Just hope it is warm enough as the weather here is getting way too cold for my liking. :o)

afghan

This afghan was such a pleasure to do. I call it daisys in the medow. I do have this on Ebay at the moment for sale. I won't be doing this again as i believe that i do one off afghans so all i do is a one off :o). Hubby didn't want me to sell it as it is so beautiful but i managed to talk him around. After all i will be making many more insperations :o). Hope you enjoy this as much as i did making it :o).

Hope you are all having a good day :o)

I was very fortunate to receive some rowan 4ply pure cotton yarn from a special lady. I wanted to do something special with it as. I loved the colour and couldn't stop holding the ball of wool and purrrring at it LOL. So i decided that seen as the ball of wool spent most of its time at my face i would make a wash mitt with it. I have warned every one in the house that if they touch it i will kill them LOL.


I would just like to say a special thank you to my awesome hubby. He has never picked up a loom in his life. He has never crafted with wool in his life. Yet after watching me make the stripe afghan on my authentic knitting board. He asked if he could make me a scarf. I have been meaning to make my self a scarf from this lush aran wool for some time. Alex made this wonderful scarf for me on the knifty knitter pink long loom. I just love it. Thank you baby xxxx

Here is a picture of my beautiful new loom and a swatch i did with some regular DK weight yarn. I just love this loom :o) Thanks again Helen :o)

I have finished the poncho. I am really happy with this :o)

I am possitive that the little girl this is for will adore it. :o)

It's been a hectic weekend. I finished the poncho. Managed to write the pattern for the dog coats for the loom. Infact any loom with any yarn you like :o). I am just testing the pattern then will be posting it for those who may want it :o). I have also managed to make a wash mitt with some wonderful yarn a very good friend sent to me along with my new loom:o). She is a wonderful lady and been very very helpful to me the last few weeks. I will post picture of my new loom and the wash mitt when i get a chance :o)

Hope you are feeling better soon Helen :o)

This is a work in progress. It is being loomed in a 38" Authentic knitting board. I just love how this is turning out :o) It's amazing what the imagination can do :o)

Come on you just got to make him a sailor suit lol. This one was frogged a few times before i got it just right. What ya think?

Who says my hubby isn't crazy? He is sporting a practice run hat done on the Kiss loom and some very very nice chunky yarn.

Any one else think he looks scared to death? lmao

pic's of my baby Paddy :o)


This is paddy. He has such a character and he loves dressing up. The sweater he is fashioning today is a design i made in my head whilst watching my hubby chase him in to the night and not be able to find him in the long grass. His favorite position in life is on my knee whilst we watch tv or at my side. he follows me every where :o)

my very first blog!!!!!!!!


This is the very first project i ever did on a loom. I used the green and blue knifty knitter looms. Not bad for a first go ;O)
