It's started

Well Clara in Maryland has the box and has posted the pictures of her chosen three on her blog. I find it strangely thrilling to see things I've made or donated on someone else's blog giving them so much pleasure.

I'm on the last bit of a white crocheted sun hat for me. I altered the pattern slightly to increase the brim size and I've crocheted the last round in pink for a bit of contrast. I'm currently making some flower brooches for it in the same pink. Once it's finished I'll post a picture of it here.

Also on the needles currently, a cardigan knitted in a dusty pink acrylic/wool mix which I originally bought to make a top from a pattern I'd bought from White Lies Designs. Beautiful top and they'd knitted it in cotton. Unfortunately the yarn I chose for substitution, whilst knitting up correctly to the right gauge, didn't have the right drapeability. Being a large person, I'd spent a fair bit on this yarn and was determined to make something for me rather than it disappearing into the depths of my stash.

I'm also making mittens !!! To be fair I'm starting on Christmas pressies because I work full time so making pressies needs lots of organising for me :o)

I'll be posting pictures of these as soon as they are finished. And starting lots of other projects which are sitting in zip lock bags behind the settee winking at me.
