This week, I have been working on a couple of new crochet projects...
Some tiny little hearts to use as part of another Christmas swap I have joined, organised by Mezz. I have made these simple and quick hearts lots of times before. The pattern for them can be found here...
A good friend of G's became a dad for the first time last week! He and his partner now have a gorgeous baby boy and so of course I wanted to make a little something as a gift. I am making a very simple blanket in the softest blue yarn...
I also finished off a scarf I was making as a Christmas gift for our lovely neighbour. She is such a nice lady and so good to us. I really hope she likes her scarf, it should be nice and cosy for chilly days. The pattern is from Inveleith here although I finished it off as a scarf rather than a cowl, the same as I did with my own scarf here. Again, I used Sirdar Snuggly yarn, because it really is so soft and snuggly and perfect for a scarf...
It feels good to have at least one Christmas gift made! I have a few other projects in progress for Christmas which I will hopefully be able to show you soon...
Chrissie and I are so enjoying these weekly CAL posts...it's great to see what everyone else is working on and great for ideas and inspiration! As before, if you would like me to link up with your crochet post here, simply leave a little note in the comments...
Some lovely crochet here...

I'm really loving the red and white, and the autumnal colours of the scarf are beautiful. XX
ReplyDeleteLove that scarf so much, the autumnal colours are really nice. And the little red and white hearts are adorable - they'll make fab decorations. xx
ReplyDeleteHi marianne I hope you are well. I just wanted to let you know that I have now tried several times to make contact with clicky needles and unfortunately she has still not got in touch for me to send the title tree Xmas decorations. I take she might be a bit busy. If there is anyone who wanted but you couldn't pair up then let me know. Sending much love xoxo
