Weeks 38 & 39 - Lets crochet sock it to them!!


Just look at the improvement here.  In BLUE we have practice at home (homework) and in PINK is the same homework revisited in class with "teacher" helping!

"H" was so thrilled with her "improved" swatch.

In another class


We "dabbled" in a bit of Tunisian Crochet


It really doesn't take long to get hooked


On this version of "Knit & Crochet" combined.



We all had fun & all the class went online to Amazon or EbaY to buy Tunisian hook sets


I didn't want to waste time travelling in a car, so I took my Crochet along!


My dogs having a run 


And here they are helping to raise money for Greyhound Rescue


One of my pupils made this GREAT bathroom mat from cotton.
I love the popcorn star, don't you?



Sock Workshop was held on Saturday 20th

All was prepared & ready to go the night before


With lots of love Merino mix wool ready to use

These are my "workshop" pair


I put the sign on the gate


And socks were made!!



Lovely colours


Cosy Toes


A "Quick to Work" Pattern

Weeks 35 to 37 Guilty as Charged!!



I know, I know I am guilty as charged for not updating my blog for ages

SORRY
I have been run off my feet, taking lessons / workshops, organising lessons / workshops, finalising the coach trip (which is now fully booked) designing for magazines & books 
PLUS as you will see below, making the final blanket for my dog Perry

Here's the edging going on


Oh & I started to make another jumper for ME!!


I love working with this wool


Ah! here's Perry testing his new blanket out in the lounge


And this is ME at the Vintage Fair in Blandford


I had a lovely stall & took a "pop up" crochet workshop there


This blanket was made by Sarah, who not only owns Sparrow UK but hosts Crochet Workshops there, which I take for Beginners & Improvers.


One of the improvers have tried her hand at chevrons - I love it



And someone else is making good use of varigated yarn


& also lining these adorable bags too!


I recently took a button covering class


We used DMC Petra Yarn - Didn't they turn out well??


Back to the dogs blankets - this is Scrumpy all cosy and comfy under his blanket


However these blankets are for their night beds

Perry


Scrumpy


Scrumpy & Perry



Scrumpy the next morning!



Did I mention that I was getting a Tattoo done?


I love it - it's a work of art 

Ta-Dahhhhhhh

Until next time hookers
