New Year Update

Well, it's been a while, most definitely time for an update I think.

I finished the Short'n'Sweet Shrug. I decided I perhaps should have made it a size smaller, but I'm thankful it's over with. I left the sleeves shorter than the pattern indicated, partly out of laziness and partly because I thought it looked better.

Some other things I've finished;

- Ivory crochet necklace from this pattern, but without the snowflake! My great aunt donated to me quite a few very nice ancient fine crochet cottons. This is the first time I've ever worked with such a small hook.

- Knitted drop stitch shrug - pattern by ohmystars! - my first finished attempt at knitting. Not brilliant, but not so bad either I think.

- Knitted fingerless gloves - pattern also by ohmystars!

- An improvement on the fishnet bag I posted last year. Pattern to come later.

- Christmas presents including Cute Candy Pouches, 'Cold Shoulders' Capelet from Happy Hooker, 'Getting Dizzy' Scarf from Not Your Mama's Crochet, Granny Square Blanket and a Star Mat from this pattern. Phew! I didn't get a chance to take photos of everything sadly.
