Blogtober 2025 : Post 8

    Hello!👋😀

    I admit yesterday's post was a bit naff but it does count so I'm not going to berate myself too much about it.

    This is the last of the projects I completed in the first half of the year. It's small and simple, but it does have a function and it was appreciated by the recipient which, of course, made it a worthwhile make.

    I really wanted to make my Mother something for her Birthday but had no idea what. But she did mention a few times that she was forever picking up the wrong glasses case because, for some daft reason, they're all the same colour. And slowly, an idea came to mind!🤔🤯😃

    Now, the first thought was a simple sock-like case for the solid case to fit into, but it didn't seem like a good idea. And then it came to me - a napkin ring!

Ta-Dah!

     I was already making the Pansy just to see what the pattern was like to follow, and what the Crochet Cottons I got from Lidl were like. My Mother likes Pansies so that was an easy choice for the decoration, and I know she likes green, so that was the second choice made!

Pretty Pansy

    I worked this in another type of cotton I'd been given and decided to use the Tunisian Treble Stitch (UK Terms) for the actual ring.

    I added the Ladybird as an extra bit of decoration. And I was well pleased with the result!😀 And so was Mother.

    I'm sorry for the lateness of this post but I couldn't log on earlier so I'm doing it now with 35mins to go!!

Ta-raaa👋😌

     Hello, hello!👋😀      Well yes, it has been a while, but I am going to try this blogging lark again! I don't know what happened earlier in the year. I think I just realised that blogging was a time consuming activity that I really didn't have time for. Has anything changed now? No, but I'm going to try and be more relaxed about it all and not be so wordy. I do tend to go on a bit!🙄      So when better to start than Blogtober ?😲 Yes, I am a little nuts but, hey-ho someone's got to be!      I've got a few things to show you from earlier in the year and a few things on the hook to share and even possibly complete before the end of the month. Ooooh, the anticipation!😅      So, wish me luck and tune in for whatever I put up each day. I'll probably surprise myself more than I do you but, maybe that's the point? Till tomorrow then, Goodbye!👋😀    Happy Autumn folks!

    Hello!👋😀      It's day three of Blogtober 2025 and I'm back! I'm as surprised as you are!      So here's the next project I worked on back in the early part of the year - a Sideways Tunisian Crochet Bobble Hat ! Yes, it is quite big. But at least it's warm!     I'd had this idea in my head for quite a while but didn't have the nerve to try it until January.     I first made a Sideways Bobble Hat when I was a knitter, from a well explained free pattern, worked in Garter Stitch , from WoolyWormhead . I only ever made two - a big one and a small one, but since becoming a Crocheter - and especially after learning Tunisian Crochet - I have often wondered if I could make a crocheted version, using the knitting pattern as a guide.     And as it turns out, I could!😀 And it's not too shabby either!     The main yarn is King Cole Big Value Chunky in the colour Bluegrass . The contra...

     Hello!👋😀      The early part of the year turned out to be quite productive really, by my usual standards anyway!      The first thing I made was Super Chunky Scarf for my Father. I wasn't sure if he was going to wear it because to be honest, I thought I'd made it too big. And I'm not going to say it's my best work because it isn't, but as I'm not used to working with this weight of yarn I think I've done as well as I could have.     I started it on the 3rd of January and finished it on the 18th of January, working on it in the evening for no more than 2 hours, and mostly just one, so it's possibly one of my quickest makes ever!     I've used a 12mm Bamboo hook and a "new to me" stitch - the Camel Stitch . I do quite like it but I'm wondering if it's a stitch that looks better worked in a thinner yarn.     The Blue and Grey yarn is Hayfield Bonus Super Chunky and the Purple is fr...
