Another Finish

Well, I still have not completed the second turban for my friend, but I have finished a lovely blanket (another one!)
I'm really pleased with it:

It is yet to be blocked, so that will improve it somewhat, and hopefully make it the right size.


The yarn I used was Zambezzi from Lincraft and it was gorgeous to work with - so soft and yummy...the colours are really pretty.

The pattern is Anya from the ebook, Lace Love by Lisa Gutierrez, and was very easy to follow.  You can download it from Ravelry, for a small fee.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I'm going to do another one soon, this one may live in the car I think.

I hope you like it too.

Good Things Finished

Some items I have just finished :




I played with this little bird, following Attic 24's instructions


The hat, scarf and cowl are finished, just need to be wrapped for my friend tomorrow
I call the hat a Flapper hat. because it looks like one on!



Just finished this blanket also - a nice granny stripe,


I quite like the colours in it


Do you like the edging i put on it?  I played around with stitches and came up with these leaves and flowers.

Now I am about to start crocheting a cotton cancer turban for another friend who is losing her hair from chemo. She should be able to wear the cotton through the warmer months and I have already made a woollen one for her (forgot to take a pic too!) not that it matters..
