Wrist Warmers 2



At long last, my wrist warmers are now finished.


Actually they don't take long to crochet.




I have just been too, too busy for crochet ....







which is just unbelievable...









now must write up the pattern....













Mattress Stitch Seam



Basic "mattress stitch seam" can be used to finish your garments.

Wrist Warmers

 Wrist Warmers ... wrist warmers ... where have you been?
 I've been in the cupboard awaiting the queen....
and now she has risen ...                  
                                       I may finally get done...
                                                                                  soon to be worn by my cold mum.....

Travels over!

Travelling and touring with family members from Oz for three weeks has put my crochet and knitting on the back burner...

way back...



feels like the handcrafter in me existed in another life...




so for now...


I am in R E C O V E R Y mode...


from all the touring and sightseeing....

and the warmer weather (stinking hot weather)...

in London, Paris and Cambridge...


which basically did not help our touring days...


and now just able... just slightly able to start contemplating a small crocheting project....

thinking of some mohair wrist warmers maybe....

I know it is summer....

but whilst in Scotland I remembered how much I like the cooler weather...

and how invigorating it is....



and of course....

I have a few odd balls of mohair in varying colours so will start out with a trial pattern ....


have a few ideas just can't seem to decide which one to go for....???

wish me "creative inspiration"...
