Latin Quote Cross Stitch Update (sal)

It's been three weeks since I shared my cross stitch with you (how? Time is moving too fast!) I've been on holiday so I didn't think I'd have much progress to share with you but I did rather strategicly decide to do the small gold lettering so it LOOKS like I did lots! Here's where…

A stumbling of Blankets

I mentioned in my last post about crochet that I'd started another blanket from the yarn I received from Christmas but not everything went as smoothly as planned. First off I'm doing a crochet entrelac blanket vaguely using this pattern off ravelry. I chained a different number of stitches, am doing a different number of…

Latin Cross Stitch Quote (SAL)

It's that time again where I share the progress I've made on my cross stitch project. Here's where it was last time when I'd just started: And here is where I am now: Not a lot of stitching but because it's such a simple design it looks like progress haha. You have a full word…

First Finish of the Year

I'm starting the year off with a finish and no, it's neither of the blankets I was working on last time I shared my crochet projects. Whoops! Instead I started a new blanket from the yarn I received from Christmas because it was new and exciting.  My initial idea actually didn't work as the yarn…

Christmas is coming too fast (SAL)

Crochet Blankets Galore

Okay so, galore may be over stating things a bit. Two. There are two crochet blankets in this post. Neither of which is technically finished. But it has ignited my love for crochet blankets and there are easily another three blankets that I now want to make. But I'll save that post for a very…
