Finishing up my UFOs
*************
Hello my crafty friends J
I don’t know where this month has gone; it
seems to have flown by! Hope you are all
keeping warm in this chilly weather.
What has been keeping me busy, well, I decided
(whilst having a tidy up in my craft room), that it was about time I finished
off some of my UFOs (unfinished objects)
I started a scarf about eighteen months
ago...it was supposed to be a Christmas present for someone last year
(Christmas 2013), but I ran out of time to get it finished (seems to be a theme with me). So it has been in my UFO draw ever since.
I had bought myself some wool from the pound
shop (three balls for the price of 2 ... bargain ... you know me!)
I wanted to keep the colours quite muted, and
unisex, as I hadn’t decided who the recipient was yet.
Anyway I got the crochet bug again, and off I
went.
By the time the scarf was finished I decided
(as Christmas is now long gone) that I would keep the scarf for myself. And, just because ... I decided to crochet a
hat to match.
I did start off by following a pattern (one
that I found on Youtube), but I soon went off piste and free styled it. Translated that means, I went wrong, so made
it up as I went along.
I got Molly to model the set for you as she is
much nicer to look at than me. (She is
also sporting a little skirt that I made out of some old curtains) It is only
my second item of clothing that I have ever sewn. It feels exciting to think that I am capable
of making my own clothes now. It was a
very simple skirt, and again, I just made it up as I went along (not good at
following patterns ;)
Thanks for taking the time to read my
ramblings.
Ta ta for now
Love Jane J x
