Crochet Projects

I always have something on the hook, sometimes I have several projects on the go.  At the moment I have several, but this has arose due to circumstances.  I am working on another rug using the Harris Tweed remnants from the loom using a mega sized hook which really does make your fingers ache.  I have a tendency to only do a couple of rows at a time, despite how quickly it grows.  This is a finished rug now that I have stitched on a wooden handmade tag, already for the utility room which is a very slow work in progress.

I have made a start on the one for the back door.

The same colours but worked differently.

My on the go project for taking with me to the doctors/hospital is a throw that I am working on for Honeys chair.  She chose the colours on her last visit.

Progress is very slow as more chatting gets done than crochet.  The waiting areas have become a wonderful source of information and a comfort to know you are not on your own.  An eye opener sometimes, there is always someone worse of than yourself.  We certainly feel blessed.  I have picked out the pattern and colours for the border, but we are long way off that yet.

Works continues on the shawl, another slow but steady project.  This is the one that I work on in the evening a few stitches a day.

Not long to go, only 5 more rows.  I am enjoying the process so it is not something that I will rush.

Finally I am working on a bag, another very chunky project that makes your fingers ache.  I grows very quickly so its is hoped that I will finish this over the weekend.  I have found some rather yummy fabric to line it with.   I just need to find the handles...lets face it this could take awhile!

July is the month that heralds the start of Christmas making.  I have already made a start on the list, found patterns and materials.  I spend many a happy hour looking through patterns/books searching for the perfect gift for loved ones.  I love the wonderful process of making something filled with love.  When do you start making your Christmas gifts?  Are you an early or last minute kind of person?

As always I thank you for your support and welcome another follower.  I do hope you enjoy my little adventures through life.

See you soon.
