The things iv made since july 2011

Hello again well id thought id start off buy showing you the things iv made since iv started crocheting in july last year as its been over a year now since i started this amazing craft.

You've seen the blanket i started when i first started witch i ended up completely undoing and making a new blanket from as i thought it looked messy i then gave it to my friends whose baby came early and she was so pleased and so was i.
I don't have a pic to hand of the blanket but there was one taken with the baby so need permission from the mum first. but it ended up being a blue and white striped granny square blanket and looked grate.

I then went on to make some hats from a pattern i got of Crochet Geek her you tube vids are amazing very clear and informative.
I made the first one for my daughter but made it a little bit big and have since re worked it but looks the same but now fits better

This was the end result of the first attempt



I liked it and so did all my friends lol so made some more which looked so much better as buy this point i had time to practice here are a few pics of some of them i made





I made these in different sizes and colours which looked really cute. what do you think?

I then went on to try to make a cardigan for my little girl which i was so proud of and now have quite a few orders for lol. I used a Free red heart pattern which turned out really nice my daughter chose the wool which was a self striping wool i have no idea of the brand sorry but here is how it turned out.....

what do you think?

For my first ever cardigan i was very pleased and learned alot from it. My daughter loved it and has worn it allot and gets comments on it were ever we go.

I also thought id put in what i made my daughter for her world book day





she went as little red riding hood she had the only home made outfit the teachers all loved it and said how was sad that no one made there costumes any more. but all the kids looked grate bless em.
So what do you think?
Just had to share with you as it was prob the first thing i had made from scratch in years on my sewing machine lol again very proud.

Over Easter i made some little gifts for autumns school friends. I used a pattern from Ravelry Click Here. its a grate little pattern and very quick here how they turned out





these looked so cute and will deffo be making lots for Easter next year and im sure if i have my way every season going lol so watch this space .......

I also made my mum some slippers for mothers day again using a pattern and tutorial from Crochet Geek on you tube here is how mine turned out i altered the top to make them girly and added a flower again on her website and on you tube have a look ..


my mum loved them and i posted a pic on Teresa from Crochet Geeks facebook wall and she was very pleased and so was i.

well i hope you enjoyed looking and will post what ive made recently next time.
