Iced Gem Baby blanket

My my my!! this pink and white deliciousness came from out of nowhere and sorta appeared and grew from my hook last week.   I added the small flowers and then shot off to learn how to do a French Knot stitch and presto!  they look like little "Iced Gems".   I finished it last night and it's already on it's way to my cousins daughter for the birth of her daughter in 3 months time.  I love love love it!!

Neck Warmer

Very quick to make and not only does it look good it's very warm. the yarn i used is Schoeller + Stahl "SHOW" It's chunky yarm with %10 Mohair. I used at size 8mm hook and just did a filet stitch with UK trebles.

I had a little yarn left over so finished it off with a flower and a wooden bead.

I was very lucky today as we went shopping and walked past a charity shop. In the window was a necklace made from wooden beads, they were big and chunky and just jumped out at me, at £2.00 with 12 beads it was a bargain and just right for some projects I'm doing.

Cushion by mistake

This is a waistcoat!......no really it is! .....well it's what it set out to be but after doing two granny squares i realised that I would not have enough yarn to finish it and hey presto a cushion was born lol

I already had the pad, I bought it for another project I was thinking of making...oh well! It was only 99p from a discount shop and they have lots more.

It was only after I had finished the cushion that i decided it needed a flower to give it that finishing touch. I did'nt use a pattern..it just sorta grew into shape lol


I think the edging really suits it!
What a great way to use up those odds and ends.
