Crafty update!

So although I have been a little (!?!) quiet on the blogging front, I have still been working my crafty little ass off. I have been knitting and crocheting, I have learnt Macrame and have been doing some sewing. All in all I am quite proud of myself. As the post will be quite obese when it comes to pictures, I think that I will deal with the knitting and crochet today and then deal with the Macrame and Sewing tomorrow.

This is a crochet star afghan, that I am making for my niece Skye. I Think it will be kept as a Christmas Present for her though. I quite like it and am thinking of maybe making one for myself when I am done. I found the pattern here. I really like the pattern, it is an easy crochet, but with enough going on to keep you interested. The star shape is really cool too. It is made with random acrylic that was in my stash (I am trying to clear the stash a bit).

Next up is the beginnings of the Poets Pullover. I like this pattern because it is a mindless knit. At the moment I have a couple more inches of the 2x2 ribbing to do and then there is the split for the V neck. Another reason I like this pattern is the talented gal who wrote this up lives in the city next door, Chester.
This is a small white jacket that was a UFO. I can't believe how little I had to do on this one. I litterally did about 3 rows and it was finished. So I've handed it over to baby Skye, so that she can get some use out of it. The pattern was a variaton of the 5hour baby sweater and the yarn was random acrylic stash.

This is my most recent FO. It is another UFO, but I had to do a bit more work on this one. I knit up the sleeves and neck band, and put together. This is a really good beginner project. The pattern is a Sirdar Snuggly one, and the yarn was Sirdar Snuggly DK Magic Stripes.

This is a project that started the all the FO's. It is a baby cardigan for baby Skye. I love the colours in the yarn. It is also very snuggly yarn and a bargain at 50p for a 50g ball. ;)

There was one casualty....a red baby hoodie that I ran out of yarn for. So it got frogged! Here is a picture of the before...

So that's all I have pictures of for now, but I am also working on the Celtic Cable Tote, Some more baby sweaters, a baby dressing gown, a Jack Frost xmas figure, and a koala. Off the top of my head, there may be more - if I am feeling brave I will have a look later. If you feel like being nosy I am Welshmillie on ravelry and most other places.
