2011 Crafty plan



I have decided to finish 2010 by writing a list of different projects I'd like to accomplish in 2011.

The first one is a 1930's DK cardie I plan on buying wool for this project this weekend! I'm thinking a nice mustard or navy blue I haven't fully decided on the colour yet.

Super Long Mustard Scarf

It's finished. I wore it earlier today and then quickly realised it was way to warm for merino wool so I didn't have it on for long, roll on cold weather:)

My Favourite Colour

Mustard is definitely my favourite colour, I love it. Since Autumn has arrived I have been looking for Mustard Chunky wool everywhere!! There are mustard wools out there but not exactly the right shade and type of wool I've been looking for. That was until I popped into the new wool shop in Bath where the lady kindly showed me a colour chart and there it was the perfect shade:) Two weeks later my special order had arrived, I started my chunky mustard scarf today and its coming along nicely. It's a simple garter stitch and I plan  to add long fringing to finish it off. Here it is so far......

Knitted Puff Is Complete





I did it, I finished the knitted puff on Saturday morning. After a bit of a struggle trying to stuff it evenly with the super soft duvet it looks pretty good and more importantly it is super comfy:)
