Small practice pieces

A nice little round weave. I love the colourful creations I have seen online so I wanted to try it out. I think I need a lot more practice but I still think this messy little creation is still quite cute 

A square weave using yellow boodles textile yarn. Not sure what I'm going to use this for but I love how quick and easy it is.

I have wanted to make a blanket for a long while.  This is my first attempt, it's going to be a baby blanket, I love the colours and love how soft it is. 

Flowers and cupcakes

For a long time now I have been wanting to crochet some flowers so today I dug out an old magazine for a pattern

This is what I have managed so far. I plan to spend all day tomorrow making loads more. My sister wants some to make some nice hair accessories. I plan to sew some to cushions and blankets. 

While making these for my sister it made me think of other things she liked that I could make. Cupcakes instantly came to mind, ( we both love cupcakes, I think we all do) . As I have been spending a lot of time online recently coming across lots of amazing blogs and craft websites, I thought I could find a pattern online. And I did. Lots of them. I tried out two different patterns and this is how I got on

I much prefer the one on the left but it was a lot more time consuming. The one on the right isn't quite finished, it needs some beads sewn on top and wants to be stuffed. I think I'll leave that for my sister to do. However I would imagine it may still be waiting for me on my next visit to finish it off.

I'm off to bed now if I can drag myself away from my wool. I think my hobby is turning into a bit of an obsession as I can't wait to get up tomorrow to do some more crochet.  

Baby cardigan

My best piece yet! so happy with my first try at a baby cardigan. I thought I would start off with baby clothes to gain more crochet skills. I bought the wool and pattern from hobby craft.

I loved every minute of this project, it's an easy pattern to follow and lovely soft wool and it's my favourite colour :)

Crochet footstool

This is my first attempt at crocheting a footstool. It took me a very long time as I kept switching to other projects, so I'm really glad it's done. It was super easy, I got the pattern from issue 4 of #crochet magazine. I'm gonna really enjoy putting my feet up on this 😊. Feeling proud
