My Alcott Vest - 6 more rows! And then I join the shoulders together! And then...I get out the scissors!!

So cute!!! Love this design! The only thing I'd change is use a single thread instead of two. On this fine evenweave it ends up a bit chunky. But otherwise? Love, love, love it! 8cms across. Oh, and despite the photo, the felt around the edge and the thr

I always seem to finish these things late at night! Pretty floral wreath design. I ended up having to redraw it because the photocopy was a bit blurred. I put the cord between the back and the felt centre. Usually I put the cord between the front and the

At the moment, this one is my favourite. I like the clear design, the use of one colour and the pretty little girls at the top. I wish I could find more designs like it. Cute! #crossstitch #crossstitching #pinkeep #pin #pincushion #sewingproject #sewing #

...And the other one I had to wash. This is the stiffest evenweave I've ever used so it didn't fray anywhere near as bad as the Blossom. But I thought this was a nice design and it turned out really well on this darker material. This is 8cms across. Sweet

Still chugging along! This one's called blossom. 6cms across. I had to wash this and remembered why it's good to iron stabilizer all over the back, not just over the design. Threads went every where! But it's turned out really nice. Quite pleased! #crosss

I made another one! This is a surprisingly addictive pattern. All the different varieties of effects you can get using stripes and one plain colour and one variegated one. So fun and SO cute!! #knitting #knittingproject #knittingfidget #compulsiveknitter

Found a lovely pattern on Ravelry for making little seamless jumpers for children from newborn to 8 years old. Brilliant way to use up stash yarn leftovers. This is 3mths size. Isn't it cute?? #knitting #knittingproject #knittingfidget #compulsiveknitter

I have conquered!! Well, there are aspects I wish I'd done better but it's still far and away better than my first attempt! So lovely! Now to churn out the right hand (taking special care of those areas I'm not quite satisfied with the left hand) and I wi

This time I think I've got the fingers right. At least they look better! #knitting #knittingproject #knittingfidget #compulsiveknitter #strandedknitting #annemor8 #selbuvotter #fairisle #strandedgloves #fairislegloves #wowimustbecrazy #knittingnut

Nothing daunted! Let's try again! #knitting #knittingproject #knittingfidget #compulsiveknitter #strandedknitting #annemor8 #selbuvotter #fairisle #strandedgloves #fairislegloves #wowimustbecrazy #knittingnut

This is so sad but I think I'm going to have to abandon this and start again. I've had to unpick and reknit the fingers so much that the yarn is starting to get fluffy and I've got knots hidden inside the fingers because of having to restart again! Lesson

You know how yesterday I was whinging about no istructions for fingers? Finally occurred to me to read the little words in the front of the book about the techniques traditionally employed to produce these gorgeous gloves... I am such a goof! I can see me

Slow progress on these lovely gloves. Funnily enough, the body of the hand was easy. Ran right through that, no time at all! But the fingers? What a nightmare. The pattern doesn't give stitch count for the beginning of each finger, doesn't give you any re

Finally finished churning these out. Even though I reknit the first cuff about three times...then decided I hated the yarn with the needles required...went to Spotlight...bought like 10 balls of different coloured 8ply wool...started again! They are FAR t

Monty Python Cross Stitch Progress- Nearly there! One last character to do and that's it for the main stitching! #crossstitch #crossstitching #montypython #montypythonandtheholygrail #stitch #stitching #crossstitchproject #cross-stitchmarathon #stitchingm

Monty Python Cross Stitch Progress - so excited! Third character down. Now just the rest of the giant and two more characters and the sewing is done! Woohoo! #crossstitch #crossstitching #montypython #montypythonandtheholygrail #stitch #stitching #crossst

I think this might be the second last beanie from all that combined cone yarn! One more and it should be all gone!! #knitting #knittingproject #craftproject #beanie #beanies #charitybeanies #knittedbeanies #charityknitting #compulsive

Huzzah! Used up the last of the blue combo yarn! Now just to work through the last of the charcoal grey! #knitting #knittingproject #craftproject #craft #beanie #yarn #coneyarn #recycled #charitybeanies #knittedbeanies #charityknitting

I've finally found an effect I like! I really like how this turned out. Finally I feel like I have a handle on polymer clay. #polymerclay #polymerclayexperiments #ovenbakedclay #craftexperiments #polymerclaypendants

Monty Python Cross-stitch - Finished the third character on the third line. I think it's a guy with an arrow in his gut. Interesting. But progress is very encouraging! #crossstitch #crossstitching #montypython #montypythonandtheholygrail #stitch #stitchi
