Christmas recycling

I have to do a presentation for English class and the topic is Primary School Curriculum and Fibre crafts, so I thought a recycling project would be a good example. I remembered this link from a while ago and decided to make a few. Quick, easy projects with so many variations. I used wrapping paper, christmas cards, chocolate wrappers, coloured paper and cardboard for these samples. And they are useful as pretty storage containers. Just don't try eating your cereal out of them ;) .

Yarn competition

One of my online friends is having a yarn competition/giveaway on her blog. If you comment number is the lucky one, you get 2 skeins of Claudia Handpainted Yarn. Her blog is wonderful and interesting to read. And you get to drool over her yarn stash. For more details go here

Shopping anyone?

I have been on a bit of a market bag binge lately. I just love making something mindless and quick when I am tired and it is useful. It reduces the need for plastic bags and uses up stash and is so much prettier than some shopping bags you have to buy from the shops. And you don't have to advertise for them either ;)

Kyla

Here is the next picture in the family series. This is Kyla











and this is what I turned it into



This is my biggest piece so far and the hair, OMW, colour changes!! I have a few more planned, a couple are gifts, so I need to get to work on those very soon.

Bradley

I have been busy with pictures of children in the family and the first one finished is Bradley, my nephew. I asked my sister for a picture of him and she sent me this one.


Which I then turned into this





I am busy with one of Kyla as well, she will be in browns. In between I am also making her a circle jacket and making other things to go into my Folksy shop. If you are looking for gifts or something for yourself, have a look at www.folksy.com, there are lots of talented crafters selling their items. My shop is here

"Frankly my dear,

I don't give a damn". I think that has to be one of my favourite lines from any movie. It is the last thing Rhett says to Scarlett at the end of "Gone with the Wind". I have loved that movie since the first time I saw it as a little girl and I have watched it countless times since then. So when I saw this (scroll down to the 22nd of April), I had to do one as well. Totallee did hers in blues, but I decided to do mine in the yellows, pinks and oranges for the sunset.




I have started my next piece, but it is on hold for a few days while I work on a project for a design student who is having a show next week and needed some help.

Edward

Here is the pattern for Edward as mentioned in the previous post. It has not been tested since I typed, so if there are any errors, please email me to let me know.

I used a 4mm hook and double knitting yarn, but you can use any yarn and the appropriate hook for it.

I used 1 skein of black, 1 skein of white and about half a skein of 4 shades of grey (100g skeins). The greys should all range from dark to light. Also a gold/amber colour for his eyes (EC)

Number the colours as follows: Black 0, darkest grey 1, next shade of grey 2, next shade of grey 3, lightest shade of grey 4 and white is 5. I put all my skeins in a basket with holes in the sides, ranging from black down to white so they are in number order and poke the ends of the yarns through the holes. It is just easier for me to have it all in one container and already in place so I can count quickly to the number I want. To change colours I use the cut and tie method explained here

The only sts used are chain and sc (USA) (dc for UK).

I chain 1 to start each row, but it DOES NOT count as a st.

The pattern starts from the bottom right.

Chain 101 and do your first st in the 2nd chain from the hook.

Pictures and portraits

Have I ever told you about my friend Wendy? Well, she has a reputation for being an enabler. For someone like me with almost no willpower, I am often one of her victims. Maybe it is a good thing she lives on another island half way across the world? Could you imagine how many WIP's I would have if she lived any closer? :-O Our latest "addiction" is Crochet by Numbers and we love it. So much that we actually have WIM's planned for the next few months, if not years. This is the Ravelry group where we saw these works of art and this is the website where we learned the technique. Todd is an artist and for a donation will convert your picture for you. You can see on his site and on the Ravelry group the stunning projects people have made. Oops, rambling. Well, I loved the idea so much and having a RPattz and Twilight fan daughter and being a bit of a closet Twilight fan myself :P, I had to try to combine them.

Here are my attempts. I did Jacob first as I pictured him all in browns and browns are what I had in my stash. Last week mom and I went out and I found some more shades of grey (a bit disappointed that I could only find 4 shades so far) and I did Edward. These are going to be backed and used as pillow covers. Kyla claimed Jacob until she realised I could make Edward and immediately gave him back and took Edward for her own LOL.
















The pattern for Edward I will put up in one of my posts soon

Cathedral Rose Window

Reading back last year's posts, I made a post about the CRW we were making as part of a CAL. Mine got put to the bottom of the pile. When I moved into the flat, mom gave me her stash of yarn as she decided she would not be using it. In one of the bags was the CRW she had started. So I decided to finish it off as her birthday present (in the process, frogging mine as I decided one was enough for now and I didn't like the colours in mine). I did manage to finish it in time and I think she loved it :D.

Here is a picture of the FO.

oh dear....

Okay, so I must be the worst blogger ever. I can't believe it has been sooooo long since I made a post. I have been very busy making things though, so that should be a great excuse, right? :P Also in December I finally moved into my own place. It is on the 9th floor (the top floor) and we are not going to have a lift for almost 3 months, but I guess that means I don't need a gym membership, right? And as my sister says, it is my penthouse LOL. There is still a lot of decorating to do (not something I have done before and I have decided I don't really like painting), but we are getting there slowly. Okay, enough of the excuses, hopefully you might get to see some things you like soon.
