Finished the King Size! Phew!!!

I finally finished the king size granny blanket I've been working on for the last couple of weeks.  I took a few hasty snaps just before rushing off to the post office....

King Size Granny Blanket

Close Up of Granny Squares

I'm very pleased with how its turned out and wanted to keep it for myself!  Only two more blankets to make before Christmas now.  Then I can have a big rest!

ipod Sock on Folksy

I've just finished designing and making this cute little ipod sock.  It fits the ipod classic and would also fit similar sized mobile phones.

 

It's for sale on Folksy, drop by and have a look at my Folksy Shop - WoolnHook. 

The End is in Sight!!!

Well, its been a bit quiet around here lately because I've been so busy making granny squares for a king sized blanket.  I'm making the blanket for Cumbrian Country Crafts and need to get it finished quickly as Christmas is looming on the horizon!  Today, though, I have begun joining the squares and its starting to look like it might become a blanket!  I'm using my normal granny square pattern and joining the squares by working an sc (dc for UK folks) through the back loops.  Hopefully, workload permitting, I'll add a photo tutorial on here of how I do it next week.

Granny Squares, Freezing Fog and Pink Snow

The sunrise was glorious this morning with a beautiful pink sky.  The snow on the hills took on a beautiful deep pink hue.  I took a quick snap of the farm on the hill from my window.  The phrase "Red sky at morning, shepherds warning" turns out to be true again.  The day ended in freezing fog.  Brrr!!!!

 Just as the fog began to creep up I took some dingy snaps of the crochet granny squares I've been making for the last week.  The squares are for a king size granny blanket and will be edged in cream.  I'm having great fun using up all my scraps, you know, the clumps that clutter up and tangle in your wool stash and just look messy in there.  They are all going into this blanket and my drawers are looking neater!

 I will post photos of the completed blanket whenever I get it done.  Cor, it takes a long time to crochet a king size blanket!!
