Maybe you can advise?

The advice I need concerns the washing of acrylic yarn blankets. I have never washed any of my blankets even though I made the first one nine years ago. It does only get used about four months of the year and is stored in a cupboard the rest of the time. But more recently, the… Read More Maybe you can advise?

Yay! I get to start a new book

A while ago I showed you some pages from my Project Book. Full Post – https://rainbowjunkiecorner.wordpress.com/2018/05/21/knitting-and-crochet-journal/ Well I have filled it up and am about to start on my new one. That’s the one on the right.

Happy Christmas

Half a pair of Socks and some Yarn

I have completed the first of my new socks and started the second. As you can see I wound off quite a bit of yarn with an eye to having the socks match but it is always hard to judge and you can also see that they won’t quite manage it. Of course I could… Read More Half a pair of Socks and some Yarn

Monthly Montage – May

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

What have I been up to lately?

What do you do when you are trying to avoid crochet? I say avoid because I do allow myself a little bit of crochet as I have an idea that I just want to try out but I can’t do much at a time before the discomfort comes back. Well you knit yourself another pair of… Read More What have I been up to lately?

A little present and some new socks

I wanted to make something to give my son-in-law as part of his birthday present. He belongs to CAMRA the real ale organisation,  it’s one of his main hobbies, and I found a beer themed card, so I decided to make a crochet beermat. I didn’t have any beer coloured cotton yarn but I went… Read More A little present and some new socks
