September

I've been a very bad blogger this month, first I forgot my camera, so these are all taken on my phone, hence the not great quality, then I was on holiday, so I've only got one weeks worth of photos and forgot to post, so here is everything that I've got a record of happening in September.
Firstly this is mine, my fingerless gloves. I have since finished them, and they're only a slightly different size, so I'll take that as a win. The colours don't come out great on my phone, they're honestly prettier in real life.












Sam is working on her snowman, who is looking great, and does now have cute and cuddly friends appearing as well, love it!


 She's also finished this lovely little dude, very impressed by him!
And finally Susie restarted her rug because she wasn't happy with the colours. Loving this version, the cabling is coming out beautifully, and she's even managed to rib the bottom!

August part 4

 I still love the fabric on this, this is the best picture I got so you can see the sparkle and colour, but it still doesn't do it justice. This is Isobel's lovely stitch along
I missed getting a sense of scale with this picture. Those are size sixteen knitting needles and this is going to be a rug made out of scraps of old clothes made by Susie. Without a pattern as well, I'm so impressed!

August pt 3

Anne is making a selection of gifts for a friend at the moment (early September deadline so she's working hard) and this lovely cross stitch is one of the gifts. 
I'm working on crochet fingerless gloves. I've finished one, rather than darning in the ends and I'm now working on the second one. I've since undone the second one and restarted it again, so I'm getting there. 
And we're still glad to have Sam back, here's what she's working on at the moment, so cute!

August part 2

It was lovely to see Rena back this month, and she brought along some crochet flowers that she's been experimenting with, aren't they cute?
And talking of crochet, believe it or not, I finally managed to finish the twiddle-muff, which means that this is also the first time that I finished a crocheted thing, so proud!
This week we also saw the return of Sam, who brought another piece of beautiful cross stitch with her.

August Part 1

 Isobel has discovered the joy of SALs, this is her latest project, on some gorgeous sparkly fabric (very difficult to photograph the sparkle). It's it cute though!
 My start on crochet fingerless gloves. Sadly I've since undone all of this because it was the wrong size, but at least you can see how I was starting off before I undid it all!

July Part 4

 Isobel's carrying on with her lovely Bothy seasonal house, and you can really see the change from last time, I'm so impressed by her progress.
Secondly, and continuing in Anne putting me to shame last week, here's where my twiddle muff is up to. I'm absolutely set that I have to actually get this finished now, it's becoming ridiculous, especially as I've just learnt how to do corner to corner, so I'm tempted to do a second one like that!

July Part 3

 It's all about Anne and her lovely creations this week. We realised last time, when I was working on my skirt, that the room we hire is actually perfect for cutting out patterns, so this week Anne brought al her cutting out with her. I think she managed to cut out five tops in two hours, and (due to me sneakily taking a picture), so can also see what the finished product will look like because she made the top that she's wearing as well!
Secondly, she's completely put me to shame by finishing her twiddle muff (I'm so ashamed that I still haven't). It looks fab and it's so tactile, Putting mine to shame in every way.
