1st February 2011

Well, I finally got my magazine back and can now get back to the gentle pace and relaxation of watching my cardigan grow! In the meantime I've been quite busy. I've made two little boxes. One's cube shaped, the other is round. I wanted to design something that can be made by an absolute beginner who only knows the basic double crochet stitch (or single if you're from the US).

I shall be publishing the patterns on my site in due course.

January Hitches

Well the Christmas frenzy is now over and I have discovered a new magazine for crocheters. It's called Inside Crochet and I picked it up in Sainsbury's! I'm making the cardigan that's on the front. Well, I say AM making.... I WAS making it until I went and left it in the waiting room at my son's music therapy session. Well that would be OK except the therapist has gone on a two week course so I'm having to wait THREE weeks to continue it. It was going great guns as well! I have to say DESPITE the pattern which left a few accuracy issues to be desired. I guess with magazines their checking time isn't as generous as with books. So my hot tip is BEWARE patterns in magazines for several reasons!
