Happy Mondays

I have been crocheting up a storm and loving it.

After only a week I finished my snood, okay technically two because the first week I discovered that I had been dropping a stitch every row and had to pull the whole thing out and start again.  But then it only took two weeks.  I really, really love it and think it is going to get worn out this winter.

I then crocheted a new phone cover for …

A new iphone which I have liberated from my friend until I get a job and can afford one of my own.  So cool, except I can’t use all the bells and whistles ’cause it charges me £1 everyday. Oh well at least I know it is there if I need it but sadly no tweeting on the run for me.

I have been in such a crochet frenzy I also made a second iphone cover for said friend and a shorter snood for a friend.  I’ll show pictures of those later.

If you are interested the wools I have used:

• The grey is Sirdar DK wash and wear crepe in silver cloud (really nice and snuggly and heavier acrylic wool, and a bit pricier).  For my snood I used two and a half balls (100g) with 50 stitches across and as long as needed to wrap around twice.
• The pink is Cygnet DK in soft coral, there is a charity shop near us which sells it and it is a more budget friendly wool but light, soft and warm.

I also had two photo shoots last week which I really enjoyed, the photos will be up on my new photo blog MYcreative, later this week.  Taking photos is definitely something which makes me happy.
