Two Friends, Two Potholders :))

Faith and I have had a potholder swap..  What a hoot it has been..
The posty arrived with it early yesterday morning at my front door, I couldn't wait to show it to hubby and my friend Tina from Crochet and Orchids..

I wanted to make something different for the swap, well , you can read about it at crochet by the sea 

But enough of that..
Look at what Faith made for me :))
So beautifully crocheted, with a lovely shell pattern, it even has a chimney.. So sweet.. I smile every time  I see it.. With it came a lovely card and a message :))

Look at these little flowers, I love it..
I have seen Faiths work from time to time on her blog and admired her work, well now I Own one :)) Thank you again Faith ..
If you haven't had a swap with a blogging friend, I suggest you try it, its been a lot of fun :))

More Mitts..

Back again after a very busy week here on my patch.
So what have I been doing all week I hear you ask ??
On the crochet front it looks like this :))

crocheted hug me tight.

I thought I would crochet the" hug me tight" pattern instead of knitting. I love the colour .
It is Patons Big Baby 4ply, using a 3mm hook. I like to have something small on the go that I can  pick up and crochet while waiting for other things to happen :))

 red mitts waiting to be finished.

 

A slightly different back view of a neck warmer.

3 completed sets of mitts,

close up view of the sts used..

Of course I still have on the Hook,
A baby shawl,
2 baby jackets,
1 pair socks,
2 scarfs,
1 Adult jacket,
2 knitted jackets awaiting quilted fronts..
Oh my goodness, will I complete these ufo's this year??
Who knows but I will give it my best shot LOL..

 For all you cheese lovers out there,
 Hubby and I sampled his
Camembert cheese, it tasted so good..
I'll see you over at your place :)) Till then "Cheers"

I Promise..

I have done it again .. I promised myself, this year would be a year of finishing those bags of UFO's... (sigh)
But here I am madly crocheting away with yet another scarf and mittens.. I don't seem to be able to stop LOL..

dusty pink ..

Gloves and scarf pin..

Bendigo wool.

crocheted using Bendigo wool.

I find this pattern very easy to do .. The pink scarf and mitts are crocheted using Moda Vera and a 5.00mm hook. and the yellow wool a 4mm hook, which made it a tighter stitch..
Well I am about to start a beige set now using Panda magmun soft 8ply..
TTFN..(tat ta for now )..

Croc Mittens and scarf.

I decided I needed to make fingerless gloves/mittens to go with the scarf I made for DSIL and this is what I came up with .. What do you think??

Not at all hard to crochet the tutorial is on my last post...Youtube has some great crochet lessons.. check it out , you won't be disappointed..

And the scarf to go with them :))
(from previous post)
Ok thats it for now, see you at your blog .. Til then happy crafting :))
