Slightly Early Happy New Year

 I have been a very bad blogger, both here and on my own blog, so here is the last post of the year and a promise that I will be much better next year. So, here is what everyone was working on at our last gathering before Christmas. Isobel was working on a travelling pattern which is very sweet, and I think this is the best photo I've got of her lovely fabric, although it still doesn't do it justice.
Next up is my Nemesis project, I have never had such trouble with a pattern before, this went to group with my last time because I was hoping that someone else could help me translate the pattern, They did, and thankfully it's not finished, I'll try and put a finished picture up at a later date. 
Sam was making some lovely Christmas jumpers, I love this, who doesn't love a festive jumper? 
And finally Susie was working on some socks with her magic sock yarn, I find these absolutely fascinating the way the yarn makes the pattern.

Happy New Year all, and if you'r New Year's resolution is to start a new craft, or spend more time working on one, then why not come along and join us, you can see that we work on quite a range of crafts.

December

I have been a terrible blogger recently, both here and on my own blog, so I apologise for that.
Firstly Isobel's lovely SAL, I love the fabric, but I can't get a decent picture of it.
And Sam's snowman is nearly done, I'm hoping for a Christmas finish

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!
