Hi, One of the teachers at the primary school is having a baby this month and i made a little jacket for her. I had terrible trouble with the yarn splitting and nearly gave up many times but i didn't want it to get the best of me. I will not be using that yarn again though.

Hi, it has been a long time since I have posted. Firstly because of sheer lack of time but for about 2 weeks I have been battling with my blogger and have not been able to access it.
I made the 'granny square" afghan for my father in law for his birthday and cheated by using a 5.5mm (I) hook ant the other was given to my step mum, I used between 2 and 3 strands depending on the weight of the yarn and used a 15mm (Q) hook. That hurt my hands for a while as I had never used anything so big. The larges hook I have ever used prior to these 2 afghans is a 4.5mm (G?). Anyway, they are done now.

This is a bear that I did a dress for. It was an order for a lady's grand daughter for Christmas. The dress is a baby pattern and I did the newborn size. I had to adjust the sleeves slightly. She was very happy with it, I hope the child was too!

Greetings,
I have finally finished the back of a blouse i am making for my mum in 4 ply cotton with a 3mm (11 or C/D) hook. The top is made of 5 "bands" of patterns and for the front i have 1 1/2 more to go. My wrist is giving me a hard time at the moment but i am seeing her tomorrow so i do hope i get it done. This picture is of the band designs, bit wonky when i sat it on the floor but you get the idea!

...........finally - HERE is the picture of the filet (see previous post)

Greetings people,
I have never done a filet crochet before and for some silly reason decided to make one for my in-laws for Christmas. Not my finest work and I would happily make a doll blanket out of it but my husband insists that I give it to them anyway. I am trying really hard to upload a picture but so far it has been refused every time. Will keep fighting with it.

I made a crochet dress for a teddy for my mum in-law last month and I have doe a few more. I bowl in a ten-pin league and I am going to take them along and hopefully sell 1 or 2 or all! If not then they will be Christmas presents.

Greetings again.
I just noticed that the photo of the teddy in the dress I made and the first failed attempt (see last post) didn't load up - so here they are.
