My blue baby Suki doing what she does best....snoozing!

63 Sampler stitches (and another 100 or so)!

After seeing this book and reading the comments from a fellow crocheter on Crochet Partners I decided to buy the book for myself.

I got the book second hand in very good condition and reasonably priced.

The squares in the book are very pretty and some are very unusual. So I purchased some white aran wool and decided to make my very first sampler afghan. So far I have done 5 squares and they seem to be turning out better than I thought.

The only problem is I haven't got the foggiest when I will get if finished. I've done my usual "thing". It's where I plod along with wip's then along comes a new book or magazine and I end up starting numerous wip's knowing full well it's gonna take an eternity to finish!

I keep telling myself "one thing at a time" but alas it makes no difference!

Fresh Start!

Well it's been a very long time since I posted anything. So I have deceided to make a fresh start. So in preparation I have bought a new digital camera. The pictures I have posted before are all taken on my mobile and the quality isnt the best. I'm going to try and blog at least once a week.

I have decided to have a major destash and try and use a majority of the yarn on projects. I will post my efforts here!

The subject of my blogs will be mostly crochet and I'm going to try and add a bit of everything I come across in my everyday life!

Pictures

I was going to try and post some pictures of my work on here but it's easier to add them to my flickr page. So please take a look. www.flickr.com/photos/jojocrochet.

This is all still in the early stages and I just don't get time to post as much as I would like to.

Hat's galore

Hi.

I seem to have gone through a phase of making hat's. This hat was made for my ex husband who is a massive cricket fan (like me). He's the top picture. God only knows what the thinks he looks like!. I did this with double stand in a baby cream and put a small pewter cricketer on the front. He was well chuffed with it.

The second picture my son Josh who was not impressed to have his picture taken. I used my son's heads as a guide for sizes. Well at least they come in for something!.

First Post!

Hi Everyone

This is my youngest son Joe sporting a littole number made for his Dad's work collegue. Luckly Joe is always willing to "pose".
