My first pattern

Just wanted to show you guys my pattern. I made this for my daughter for summer. She has ordered more in different colours. Also says that she can wear it over plain long sleeve tops in the winter.

15 minutes crochet hat

Hi all, I've been really ill and stuck in bed but that hasn't stopped me and my crochet hook. This hat took 15 minutes all in the round ,a simple crochet flower and we have a gift for someone .I'm making the scarf in the same way. It a simple easy gift I will posted a free pattern after Xmas , as I'm so busy trying to make xmas pressie.

I dont know if I'm alone but why do I always leave Xmas pressie for the last minute . I love making something for my family , yet I leave it all for the last minute nad then I'm frantically trying to finish on xmas eve. Surely I'm not alone???

Miss everyone

Hi everyone.
I miss the meetups and chatting to all of you and drinking coffee and all the rest. I thought I would show what I have made for my grandparents for Christmas. The finished one is for my grandfather and the part done with pink is my grandmothers. I was going to be ambitious and make everyone ghans for Christmas, but don't think I will be doing many more in time, might have time for one more. Everyone else might end up with turkish slippers (yes, Helda, our favourite ones out of Erika Knights book) made with some fancy yarn to fluff it up or some cotton facecloths, will see what I feel like doing. :)

Found this on the web ,see crochet does help !! http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1121/p20s01-ussc.html
