Good evening! I have had a busy fall, with no time to update at all! I just completed my student teaching in English as a Second Language last week. Pretty soon, I will hopefully get my teacher certification for my state and a my first full-time job! With the holidays coming, my mom asked me what I was getting my dad for Christmas. Well, I didn't get anyone anything. That had to change. So I dug around in my stash for some yarn to make a Christmas pudding ornament for my dad. Then, a TARDIS ornament was added. Then, I added a weeping angel and Dalek to the mix. My sister made me add a mince pie to the collection. So, the British Ornament set was born. My dad is English, so it works. I added the mince pie ornament to the blog. Please enjoy and have a happy holiday (if you celebrate one). This is a pattern for my Mince Pie Ornament. It uses US crochet terms. Enjoy! Items needed: 3....
I actually finished by granny square pillow two months ago but I've been busy lately. Here is a link to the completed project page on Ravelry: Granny Square Pillow . I like it even though I messed up a stitch I notice every time I look at the back on the giant granny square. There's on cluster where I only did one stitch of double crochet. Whoops! After finishing the pillow, I started a hedgehog tea cosy that was in Interweave Crochet Accessories magazine. It is half fur-type yarn (Premier Yarns Lash Lux) and it is horrible to work with. It is such a pain in the butt that I've been putting it off forever...and it was supposed to be my mom's Mother's Day gift. That's come and gone but the tea cosy remains incomplete. Now I am working on a shrug for my sister. She's going to a friend's wedding this Sunday and she needed a shrug for the service since the dress is sleeveless--at least she would if it was in a synagogue. It isn't but ...
Well, I finished the shrug last Sunday hours before the wedding Jamie was invited to occurred. However, I had to go to my cousin's high school graduation party and couldn't weave in the ends. I instructed Jamie on how to do it. In the long run the shrug was all for naught! The ceremony was outside and it was hot. No shrug needed... Anyway, she can use it for another event later on.
