Just Saturday here..and a couple of WIPS..

The baby blanket has been  pulled out and this is the new patten.

I am using a Vst and 3.50mm hook which I like to use with this yarn.. Panda  baby Opal dk.. Tina from Crochet and Orchids gave it to some time back. I am spoilt I know :))

A complete flower at last. Only 11 more to crochet.

Debi sent me this beautifully crocheted square
and some bright buttons.. I joined in the 6" square exchange Debi started last year..

Thanks Debi

Wips keep turning up..

I decided this new year I would finish a wip or two..
For every new project I start, I have to make moves to finish a wip...I was encouraged by reading Richards Blog, he has a Wip Wednesday.. You can find  Richard Here.   
There are 6 Wips that I have found for this first 6 months..

Crochet with Bendigo Pure wool.Only have the sleeves to finish.

This tea cloth has been in the Wip bag for to many years..but now I can't buy the colour I first used..

The pattern book..

Another Bendigo Pure wool 8ply..

Butterfly edging for linen tea cloth..

Baby shawl..

Last one .. A very pretty insertion of roses..

There you have it, all 6, can I do it???  I'll give it a go :))  and keep you up to date on what is progressing :))
have a great week everyone..
and I'll  See you at your place............

I enjoyed Molly's posts and her book readings , I don't recall her complaining, only apologising for not posting..
 Molly will be missed but remembered always..

Baby crochet, sheep and big foot ..:))

Its windy and raining here in the North today , so I thought it would be a good time to make a start on the promise of trying No that is Completing a few WiPs..
Well I haven't started.. LOL.. But I do have these adorable boots completed ..

Crocheted in cotton..

White is always appealing, any colour can be added to make it that little bit different.. The pattern is out of a Sirdar Babies in crochet book, so easy..

Bendigo blue.

Pattern for these little beauties can be found in a Paton's book, Booties Galore.. Cotton again using 3.50mm hook..

A couple of little hats to compliment the boots.
