Its that time of the week again to post about what’s on my
desk and what I’ve been working on this week.
I have made another couple of additions to my baby clothes
are the two dresses below – apologies for the blurred pictures. The reddy pink one is for my basket with a
matching cardigan, hat and booties. Hope
to create a hairband too to match!
When I went to Craft Club at Bramley a couple of weeks ago,
we (Leanne Hinchcliffe – www.redroofcrafter.blogspot.co.uk)
and I, were inspired by a piece that a lady called Amanda had done. It was crochet and when we asked her about
it, she said it was Sophie’s Universe! See www.lookatwhatimade.net to see what
it looks like. Leanne and I have looked
into it, bought some yarn (see my colour choices below!), printed the
instructions and we are both going to create a Sophie’s Universe! (see pic below
at some finished pieces which are here - www.lookatwhatimade.net/crafts/yarn/crochet/sophies-universe-cal-2015/)
I have gone for rainbow colours for my version of Sophie's Universe. Here's my yarn so far! I may need quite a bit more! Up to 20 balls I've been told!!! Think I may be addicted to buying yarn.
At the next craft club at Bramley, there will be a table
dedicated to it so we can ask questions if we get stuck. We’ve been assured by Amanda that it is easy
to follow! Having looked at the instructions, I am very excited to start and
this is a project I intend to start later this week – I hope mine looks as good
as the ones I’ve seen on the website and Amanda's.
Thanks for the inspiration Amanda!
Another yarn addict! Woohoo :-). I'm totally in love with crochet and knitting and am lucky enough to have an amazing wool shop only about three miles away. I spend a lot of time (and money!) in there. The Sophie's Universe pattern looks incredible! I'm off to follow your links...thanks for the heads up about that. When I finish the baby blanket I'm working on, I may do some stash busting!

I had intended to visit before I fell asleep this morning, but sleep won out, especially since either blogger is very slow today, or my computer is on its last leg.
ReplyDeletethose dresses are adorable. And the new colors you chose are so --- COLORFUL.
I used to knit and crochet until I could no longer grip the needles or the hook. I admire your work.
Happy WYOWW from # 1.
I forgot to mention, Amanda, now that you know the size of the ATCs, you might consider making enough to send to Julia after she announces her next year's crop date. That's what I did, and I live in the US, so there's no way I can get to the crop, but always feel like I'm there in spirit, but without the cake (grin).
ReplyDeleteThose dresses are gorgeous and I love the bright colours of yarn. They will sure be fab when made up.
ReplyDeleteHave ag reat week,
