I generally have lots of projects on the go at once, mainly because I have a pretty eclectic approach to crafting. I sometimes think it would be nice to be a quilter or a knitter or an embroiderer ... In reality I get involved in and excited by an overwhelming range of disciplines. Jack of all trades and master of none!
I got this book a while ago and have adapted one of the patterns to make a bag for my current crochet w.i.p.
The learning curve for this one was that someone not great at maths shouldn't freestyle with measurements when scaling up a pattern! I ended up sheepishly trimming the central panel and zip.
The crochet project was something I've been meaning to start for ages. Ever since seeing this amazing blanket grow. Here is the flickr group where you can see lots of hexagons and details of the book containing the pattern.
From baby cashmerino.
To the full set of colour combinations.
To the growing pile.
I've been doing a lot of sewing on my new machine lately which is great but not that sociable. I decided to start something which I could work on while sitting with P. What a good wife!
Oh, one more thing. I have a whole bolt of the beautiful Kokka fabric and will be selling it on my ebay shop soon.
