About Me

My photo
Alicante, Spain
Hi. I live in Spain with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum. Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him. I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have 3 daughters Aurora, born March 2015 and Arabella, born August 2017 and Arianna born 2019. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. I love reading them all. xxxx

Crochet

 Hi

Today I have quite afew crochet items to share with you.

This ia a lovely peppermint and white baby shawl done in the Corner to Corner stitch with Bella Coco.

I also use this stitch when I do blankets for the dog rescue centre, just using any odds of wool.


Very pretty colours isn't it???

This is all white and a tutorial by Alison Russell.
Again, it is quite easy once you know the basics of crochet.
She added a lovely border to hers but I just did a scallop edge.




Again, for a baby and quite delicate but very pretty.



Once again, I added a scallop border to finish it off.


Next up is something for me for next Winter  -  a Poncho.
I never had a poncho as a child and I bought this wool in the sale at my local Craft shop because it had Merino wool in it.
There were odd balls, 3 terracota, 2 beige and 1 blue.
I mostly followed a pattern by Bag O Day Crochet but adjusted the neckline




And again added a  Scalloped Border.



Finally another baby blanket in white.
Pattern by Blossom Crochet very similar to a granny square.



Another Picot Border.


I'm presently crocheting another Star blanket in various baby colours with yarn my Sis brought  with her when she visited last week.

Take care all.
