I have been playing yarn chicken this weekend, I wanted
to deliver a pile of children’s jackets I have crocheted recently to a local
charity. I am not good at the finishing
touches such as sewing the pieces together and adding buttons etc etc. For my charity knitting and crochet I use odd
balls in my stash or what I find in bargain bins at our local yarn stores. The only problem with that is if I run out I
am stuck. With the little jacket above I
still need to crochet the collar after sewing it up and add an edge for the buttons. I think I am going to have to leave out the
collar and just carry the edge around the neck. I also have another jacket that
I was going to turn into a hoodie, but for the life of me I can’t find the
needed ball of wool to do this, I am sure I had one, must have used it for a
beanie…... I am beginning to see why people list their stash!
During the week I finished the blue Grace Fearon doily.
Started another, and finished it this morning, it is a
doily from the Lacey Crochet Blog by Olga Poltava. It is called Dreaming of Spring. Makes me
think of the pink Camellias in my garden. I would have photographed them with
the doily, but we had a heavy frost this morning and they are a rather sad
brown now! So, they are dreaming of spring!
My plum tree is under the impression that it spring and
is scattering its petals around like confetti at a spring wedding.
I couldn’t resist picking a sprig and bring it indoors!
Hope you all have had a crafty week and are looking
forward to lots of finishes!
