Hi guys,
I know I’ve been quite quiet over the last month, the truth is I just really haven’t had very much time to get crafty.
We’ve been very busy moving all of our stuff out of the tiny farm cottage and into a roomier flat. You know your house was really small when going into a flat is up-sizing!!
I’ll miss living on a farm, but I’ll also quite like having space and civilisation within a reasonable distance.
This week I have had a little more time to create, which is fantastic! There are still boxes absolutely everywhere but in all honesty I really have had enough of unpacking, that and half the things don’t have anywhere they can go yet. If you follow me on facebook or twitter you may have seen some of my updates about what I’ve been doing…
I have started designing a 4x6ft Star Wars Blanket inspired by the 6 year Super Mario blanket that has been circulating the internet over the past couple of weeks. I really love it, although I think the emphasis of it taking 6 years is kind of pointless… It’s almost making out he did nothing else in that time… He’d have a much MUCH bigger blanket if this was the case! So why not put it out there as look at this awesome thing and leave it at that? Anyway I’m hoping mine will not take 6 years!!
This is a little over half of the final design in total there will be 48 character squares, 24 above and 24 below the strip with the logo and text. I’m really starting to love this project and can’t wait to get started making it! I’ll update as and when with that one!
I’ve also written up a pattern for the dragon scarf, Which as usual can be found in my Craftsy and Etsy stores.
I’m really excited about sharing this one! It’s my first accessory pattern. I never intended on writing this up so it was rather challenging to change my scribblings in my notebook (not even with a proper pen, might I add) into an actual proper crochet pattern that hopefully someone can follow!
There are so many pieces to this scarf and it took me quite a while to sort through it all and type everything up. I really hope you’ll try it, It’s a lovely scarf and I am so happy to share it with you.
I will probably write up patterns for some of my other items in the future. I am planning on writing the unicorn scarf next!
I was asked it I could make a dragon scarf a few months ago. I was a little reluctant to start it because I really wasn’t sure how to go about it. Once I got going and started to experiment it came to me alot easier than I first expected that it would. I was particularly confused about making the wings as I wasn’t sure how to position them. In my mind they were much larger but I couldn’t see how that would be very practical for the wearer of the scarf. So I compromised with the little wings, which I think look pretty cute which is what I was going for. He’s a nice dragon so I think he should also be cute.
