WTF?!

Oh man, this is not cool.  Not cool at all.

Looks like a bit of a blank canvas doesn’t it?  Yeah, well it is not.   This pic was taken at 7am, but at 8am the morning before I had just finished tracing the design on to it.  They are supposed to fade over the course of [...]

I’m so lucky :-)

I found goodies in my mailbox yesterday when  got home.  Dontcha just love that?
There was never any doubt in my mind as to Whiskey’s Queen-of-dishcloths credentials, not for a moment.  So when I found out she was to be my partner in Craftster.org’s Very Dishalicious Dishcloth/Washcloth Swap, I knew I would receive some cool stuff.  [...]

Updates all round, with pics, lots of pics

OK, the deal is today, that I am really behind on everything so I am gonna aim for lots of pictures and few words this post.  We’ll see if that is something I can achieve, I am unsure myself.  BF does sometimes call me Reed (after Reed Richards of the FF, a man of many [...]

Oooh, I have been a naughty blogger again.

Yup, I have been absent again.  Same old excuse (I have been extra busy with swap crafting) and a new one, I have been sickly.  My allergies have been giving me a hard time, but I have got the ‘good’ drugs now and they are working too!  So just yesterday I finally began to feel [...]

Skeins on trains

What a way to start the day

I am now the proud recipient of a whopping 8oz skein of handspun yarn.  This beauty was crafted for me by the wonderful RecycleMicol as part of Craftster’s Handspun for Handcrafts Swap (round 2).  Rather than leaving it at home this morning, I took it along for [...]

This here carrot is headed Stateside

Hi guys.  I have been quiet of late, for the usual reason.  I am crafting for swaps, so I don’t want to show you all what I am crafting until it has all reached it’s destination.  I have a sneak peak for ya though, an amigurumi carrot made specially for RecycleMicol’s little boy.  He love’s orange, I’m [...]

Tea Time is here

I can hear Lady Llanalla breathe a sigh of relief, all the way from Vegas you know?  The package she sent me for Craftster’s Tea Time swap (gallery here http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=145496.0) has finally arrived.  It was a few weeks late, and not by any fault of hers.  Why then?  See for yourself…

Thankfully nothing was taken, but [...]

Tea time

Yeah!  Lady Llanalla has received the package I sent her for Craftster’s tea time swap.  This means I can now show you all the crafts that went into it.  I embroidered her a set of napkins first off.

This is my best embroidery to date.  I made sure of it because I didn’t want to embarrass myself (Lady L [...]

Yarn ball pics, as promised

OK.  Here it is, the magic yarn ball I posted out to Sharre last year.  We had both chosen to send out the same pattern, despite not having discussed it.  Yup, that is where the One Skein Wonder pattern came from.  As you can see, that is one big ball (I have left my hand [...]

It is all happening (wordy, you’ve been warned)

I’m halfway through my third attempt at a One Skein Wonder.  This time around I am mixing it up a bit.  I am working much longer sleeves, contrast bands an a hood.  Well, the hood is still at ‘maybe’ status.  If I don’t add a hood, I’ll replace it with a collar.  I have the [...]
