Some sewing at last .....

I have been busy finishing and making things over the weekend and I am delighted to say that the 'broomstick' crochet scarf is finished!

 

Over 72" long - taller than me!!

I don't think that the picture does it justice, but there are subtle colour changes within the wool.

I am really pleased to have mastered this technique and have already started another one using a fine mohair.  Took a few false starts to get going as the wool is so fine but progressing well.  As it is in black I thought it could be a dressy scarf.

I also had a go at making these two little items which could be used at Easter.

Quite difficult to take a photo and hold the camera so this might look a little out of focus.  Squeeze the sides and the mouth opens and it can have a little treat inside it.  Ellie, my granddaughter, knew that the grey one was a bunny without seeing the tail.  Phew, I thought she might think it was a mouse.


I started my Christmas Challenge about WW1 but then discovered that I had no wadding.  I often join pieces together but on this occasion had no pieces big enough.  Note to self - think and plan ahead!
