Work has begun on our winter garments! We are making sweaters and cardigans. Miss C has made two beautiful crochet sweaters before and is now making a gorgeous colour work sweater. For me it is my first ever cardigan.
Finished Objects - Crochet:
The troublesome Screwball Ice Cream Shawl, as mentioned in this post is finally finished! More unpicking and frustration was involved, however, I am so thrilled that I persevered with this crochet project, and now have a beautiful shawl to wear. The yarn used is Stylecraft Batik DK in the "Indigo" & "Rose" colourways.
Some of the yarn leftover from the shawl, and some additional yarn that Miss C had frogged from a Waroo shawl she made and didn't like, will be used to make a Desert Irony Poncho by Kathryn of Crafternoon Treats. This yarn will be perfect for this design as it is the same yarn she used in her pattern. As some of this yarn was Miss C's, I have decided to make it as a gift for her. The colours are; Mint, Rose, Graphite, Indigo, Silver and Heather.
What's On Our Hooks:
Samantha:
I have just started my first crochet garment, the Up North Cardigan, a free pattern by Make & Do Crew. After searching for the perfect pattern I finally fell in love with this one. Yarn is Bendigo Woollen Mills Bloom 8 ply in the Marble Statue colourway, which is looking fabulous. I hope this will be a real staple piece in my wardrobe.
My Project Arm/Basket as mentioned here has been put aside, whilst finishing the shawl. The middle section is completed and I have made some progress with the sides. I hope to have it finished soon.
Miss C:
Miss C has made great progress on her crochet Prim sweater. It is her first ever colour work garment and she is enjoying it, even though it is very slow going using a 4 ply yarn and alternating colours every second row. The colour work is finished, and she has separated for the sleeves. It seems to be fitting really well, and she can't wait to finish it! Bendigo Woollen Mills Multicoloured sock yarn in the Pastel Dream colourway as the main colour, and Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 4 ply Navy as the contrast colour.
Her Little Stories cowl is coming along nicely, using Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 8 ply in the Smoke colourway. The buttons that she has chosen are bright and fun and I think that it will be nice to have a pop of colour on this plain cowl.
We are working together to make more crochet Gelato gloves as part of the Love your stash CAL, which finishes at the end of the month.
Until next week,
Samantha & Miss C xxx
