I know I have not been feeling at my best lately but I find it hard to believe that I never created a monthly montage post for March. However such it is. March was fun too. I had a rare outing. I went with friends to Hillier Gardens and took lots of photos of flowers… Read More Monthly Montage – March & April
Over the last month, except for my Monthly Montage for January, all my posts have been showing stages in the construction of my poncho. So this montage is a bit boring. However I will still include it for completeness.
Lots more things to show you this month! I started by creating a couple of montages showing all the knitting and crochet and cooking I had shared during 2021. I ended by sharing how far I had reached with the Priestess Coat I was making for my daughter and my latest project of making a… Read More Monthly Montage – January
I realise that I haven’t much to include in the montage this month. This is partly because I have been making some little presents that I can’t show you. However my montage does include knitting, crochet and some photographs.
In October I did some knitting as well as crochet and made a cosy hat. For crochet: I made a lacy mitten while on a Crochet Retreat and was working on a Celtic design crochet cushion. I took a great number of photographs during the crochet retreat and wrote a post to give an idea… Read More Monthly Montage – October
This last month: I showed you how far I had got with the Tunisian crochet coat for my daughter but I also told you how it had seemed to increase various pains in my joints and how I was hoping that exercise would help overcome them. After getting that far with the coat, I cut… Read More Monthly Montage – September
In the end not a lot of posts this past month. I suppose I was busy thinking about a special birthday and working on my latest pattern and then creating an ebook for all of my different flexy creations. I did start the month with something about the free flowers I was given and my… Read More Monthly Montage – August
In July, apart from my normal monthly Montage post, I had three posts about cooking, three posts about crobhet and two posts about my apple tree. Crochet first. I published my latest pattern for a thing that I call a Hexatetraflex. I had made the standard version and a slightly more ambitious version that gave… Read More Monthly Montage – July
I almost forget about making a montage for June. So here it is: better late than never. I told you about how I had managed to acquire more yarn than I intended when I bought a bargain bundle and my outing to Lee-on-Solent to the Hovercraft museum with the family and how we got to… Read More Monthly Montage – June
Except for the book post, which was unusual, this month was a good mix of the things I tend to write posts about. Crochet of course: in the form of the start of working on a new bookmark pattern. Cooking: some ‘healthy’ cookies. Quite a bit of photography concerning an outing to Chessel Bay and… Read More Monthly Montage – March
End of another month. A more unusual montage this month as I have had no new knitted or crochet items to show you as I continue on with my blanket that is still just a collection of motifs. There has been Pizza! and photographs of flowers in my garden and a look back at past… Read More Monthly Montage – February
The best basis for a monthly montage is lots of square pictures. This month there have not been a lot of photographs and especially not square ones, so I had a real problem creating the montage. Normally I would have included my montage celebrating last years makes as part of this month’s montage but I… Read More Monthly Montage – January
I didn’t create a montage for November as I didn’t feel I had enough pictures to put in it having not created many posts that month. So here is a joint one with December. In November I continued with the Coastal Coasters and even devised a bunting style addition which will be used to create… Read More Monthly Montage – November/December
I have finished my Spiderdream top and plan to put together a post about it later this week. Looking back over this last month, I find that I haven’t shared any knitting and in fact I haven’t done any either. I finished the central part of my Celtic Knot Granny blanket and started the border.… Read More Monthly Montage – August
No Knitting this last month. I did pick up my second sock and do a bit but my wrists started to hurt. Somehow crocheting granny squares is so much more wrist friendly! My first make was a quick birthday present owl keyring. But then I finished the centre of my Celtic Knot Granny Ripple blanket… Read More Monthly Montage – July
Not so much shared in June. I shared a piece of embroidery I had done in my teens for Textile Tuesday otherwise it was knitting and crochet. For knitting a pair of socks that I am halfway through.I have spent rather more time on crochet. I showed you how I had developed an idea for… Read More Monthly Montage – June
This month I shared the last succulent that I had made: as a gift this time. Then, with my wrists finding crochet a bit painful, I switched more to sewing and caught up with much delayed mending and completed a little more of the cross stitch bookmark. Later in the month I decided to try… Read More Monthly Montage – May
With all the extras posts I’ve been doing it has been hard to choose photographs to include in this month’s montage because I normally aim to include at least one photograph from each post. I did consider leaving out the cooking I have shared but in the end decided to include it and chose just… Read More Monthly Montage – April
This last month I have done some knitting and some crochet. I finished my crochet case for my ergonomic hooks and I worked out to how to create a way of securing my phone in its case that could just be used when necessary but otherwise was out of the way. For knitting I finished… Read More Monthly Montage – February
I have almost finished my hook case and will be doing an update later in the week but for now I want to recap what I have shared with you this past month. Early on I shared an overview of all my knitting and crochet completed in 2019 but during the month it has been… Read More Monthly Montage – January
As I have done previously I like to create a montage of the projects I have completed over the previous year. This year I completed nine crochet items and eight knitted ones. I notice that they are all useful practical things. For crochet five of these were made to give away. There was a crochet… Read More 2019 Crochet and Knitting completed
This last month I completed the sixth part of the Sacred Space CAL though I now realise I will need to buy at least one ball of more yarn for the next section. The only project I finished was my crochet paper chain but I got on well with the top for my daughter. As… Read More Monthly Montage – December
Going to make a montage for November I realised that I do not have ones for either September or October. Now these montages are made as much for myself as for others because they are an excellent way to find out when I made a particular thing. So I decided to fill in the missing… Read More Missing Montages
This month was dominated by blanket making but I did also manage to make a pair of trousers. I showed you the yarn that I was sent by Stylecraft after I had had a problem with one of the balls for my Lost Garden blanket and the extra colours I had chosen for making the… Read More Monthly Montage – August
As you can see this month has been dominated by my making of the Lost Garden blanket. This doesn’t mean that no knitting has been done but I am finding that knitting raglan sleeves can seem interminable, especially when only done when in company, so have yet to finish the garment.I have shared my progress… Read More Monthly Montage – July
In June there was knitting, crochet and photography. No loaves of bread though. Not to say I am not continuing to make such things. For knitting: it was a tutorial on my method of doing kitchener stitch, the cardigan I am knitting in 4 ply and a baby cardigan I was finally able to complete.… Read More Monthly Montage – June
During the last month I finished some knitting and some crochet. For crochet I showed you my colour choice for a new blanket and the actual yarn I ended up buying. I also showed you my finished Slow Granny Ripple blanket. As to knitting, I showed you the rainbow fairy coat and hat that I… Read More Monthly Montage – May
It is amazing to think that it is now the end of April. With various concerns I feel as if much of the last few months has passed me by. My apple tree has blossomed and the blossom has gone. Not much this year so not many apples to look forward to. My clematis on… Read More Monthly Montage – April
In March there was some knitting, some crochet and a small amount of nature photography. I showed you how far I had got with the first baby coat I started and the beginnings of a second one. I fitted in an idea for a bookmark based on my triquetra coaster and, although it is only… Read More Monthly Montage – March
