Plotting & Planning....

Found myself a great new book to teach myself some interesting crochet shapes......... one slight problem though. I now have too many ideas jumping around in my head competing for dominance.

Do I play around with leaves & flowers. 'Piece' together some hexagons / octagons / pentagons / circles in to a 'quilt'. Or create a wonderland of snowflakes?

What evil person put that book in my path to distract me from my current projects??

Ah well I will be strong & work on my belt-in-progress. ......In between bouts of experimenting ;)

And now for the FNSI...

You can never have enough belts right?....
Well that's my excuse for this project.
Working on it a bit at a time......really need those new glasses!! lol


& Now for my main project for the last couple of days......
It just needs the tails tucked & done!! :)


Here come the photos!!





It took a bit to figure out bit finally......


My 1st attempt at scales......
Not sure the fluffy wool quite does the pattern justice.



On the Go.....

Well I finally figured out that little problem thanks to help from some ladies @ the quilting group I go to.... started a belt..... & nearly finished another project not to be named until completed.... ;)
Also plotting what to do for the Adelaide Festival of Quilts challenge :)
Photos to come........

Grrrrrr......

Sometimes teaching yourself crochet con be nice and easy, & go like a breeze......... but sometimes...........

It's a confusing, messy headache......
There's this one style of 'round' that just isn't making sense......maybe next project will be mum's cushion. :)
