August part 2

This week we have Anne's lovely tapestry. She's recently brought one of the lovely Bothy fairy tale silhouettes (we're all very jealous), and has promised that she's going to finish this first. 

Secondly, here's my blanket. I have actually finish it now, and it has less border than it does in the picture. I decided the border didn't look right, I'd put too many stitches in down one side and it was making it bunch up, so I pulled it out and re-did it, and my other half thought it looked god with just the navy stripe.

I'm going to start this month by showing off Sam's work. She was getting a little frustrated because she'd got behind in the SAL, but she's now caught up, and we all think that this is ridiculously cute!

June Part 2

First is Anne's lovely cross stitch, started this week, and she's already got loads to see, I'm very impressed by how much she did. 

Next come my sheep, and they're actually starting to look a bit sheep like, finally! 

And finally Susie's crochet, this is so fine, done with cross stitch thread, so how she didn't go cross-eyed working on it I really don't know.

June Part 1

Yeah, I've been rubbish at keeping this upto date recently, I'm sorry!

Here's some progress thought. Isobel and Sam are currently working on the same project, so I thought it would be interesting to see them side by side, and start to see where their different colour choices are coming through.

This is Sam's 

And this is Isobel's.

I forget the name, I want to say Holmsley Hare, but I'm not guaranteeing any part of that spelling!

March part final

Anyone who follows my personal blog will know that there are a lot of gifts in my life at the moment. These are the start of three baby blankets, pretty colours, wish me luck! 

Sam's working on this beauty at the moment, the Cloudsfactory SAL, and she's going great guns on it. I've got a SAL that I joined for 2014 and Sam's already further ahead on this one than I am on that.

Finally...

I've been such a bag blogger recently, and I apologise for that. Isobel's going great guns on this, and she was planning on getting this finished soon, so she may be all done by now! Can't wait to see how it looks. 

And my blanket continues, it's getting bigger, it finally feels like a blanket, which is great, it keeps me warm while I'm working on it now.

Bad Blogger

I have a deep rooted suspicion that I shouldn't be allowed to look after this blog, I do have a slight habit of forgetting to post things, sorry!

Anyway, Anne's latest tapestry is growing, it's gorgeous, I do love the colours of this one.

 And here we have Sam's little badge, isn't he gorgeous? He's stitched on wood, and I love the little button for the tail.

Susie's back on the socks with the magic yarn, I do love watching the patterns come up with her socks. 

And finally my blanket has some more stripes, I'm aware that my pictures are a little samey at the moment.

February part 2

 I told you that we'd had lots of finishes to show off this week, he's Sam's gorgeous snowman, I'm so impressed, lots of backstitch and so much white, she's so much more patient than me.

And here's the bag that Susie's made. Again, I'm very impressed, I don't think I'd even have known where to start. You don't want to know where she keeps her purse though

February part 1

 We've actually had finishes to show off so, I'll be showing those off for the next couple of week.s
Anne's finished one of her tapestries, isn't it gorgeous? And you should see the next one that she's working on as well, so pretty! She bought this one if for us to see and how could I not then show it off here?

Isobel bought the bird tables out, and I managed a spectacularly bad picture of the colours, it really is so pretty.

And finally, by blanket continues to sprawl

January week 4

Susie's been working on this for quite some time (there's a chance that the child it was being made for has already grown out of it), but it's been made up, and personally I'm impressed that she can make something human shaped, I only work on things with right angles.

January week 3

 We're on blankety goodness this week, Isobel and I are both working on the ripple stripe blanket by attic 24, albeit in different colour schemes, and different levels of progress. I've been working on mine for ages, and it's just stopped looking like a scarf.

Isobel's just started hers and is using the Coast colour scheme, and she seems to be rather enjoying it, I have to say that her colours do look fantastic.
