The last few months have been largely taken up with health issues of, at the beginning other family members and latterly myself, so with the exception of many, many visits to various hospitals and health establishments, the rest of my time has been mainly spent at home. To distract and occupy, I have spent a lot of that time crafting....knitting, crocheting and sewing. Here are some of the fruits of my labours....
A cardigan for James
A waistcoat for myself
A top
A "duvet" skirt...made from the back of a duvet cover!!
The cross-stitch was not done by me...I bought it at a summer fair in Scotland two years ago and it became the inspiration for my newly decorated "Scottish" bedroom. I removed it from the frame and made the cushion cover to which it is sewn on to.
My new crochet top...pattern is from the recent issue (5) of
Simply Crochet
WIPs
New socks...work in progress on its partner!
A New Throw using James C. Brett Woodlander...loving the colours!
A little playing around...not sure what it will end up as yet!!
There are also three more skirts on the go. I am loving this busyness! There are times when the creative juices dry up so I make the most of the times when they flow. I am itching to get something else on the knitting needles as socks are a project for the car and sitting in waiting rooms! I just cannot make up my mind as to what the next project should be!! Any ideas?!
