Finished Objects

The original idea for the B.P. swap came about because Jackie & I were having a small swap between just the two of us. Here are the things I've made for her so far.

I've finished my 

Rainbow Brite Socks 

for the #JandARainbowAlong

I also made this cotton top which I'm calling my

HoneyDew Top

🍓🍓🍓

Works in Progress

The Wee Rabbit knitting has commenced! I've started with this sweet mustard colored cabled cardi for Beth's baby.

I've also started a Unicorn Blankie for Annelise's birthday in October.

I'm also working on a pastel rainbow bunting for Jooles & Ami's Rainbow Along

🍓🍓🍓

I'm sorry I never got around to writing Episode 14's shownotes. Please feel free to contact me with any questions from that epidode. Here it is if you've missed it. 😊

Happy Making!

Rainbow Ripple

Mmm...

That sounds kinda like a yummy ice cream flavor!😉

Here is my latest crocheted creation.

I started it on December 17th after I had finished my crocheted Christmas gifts.

Originally it was supposed to be Christmas colors {you can see the red & green right next to each other} but I didn't finish it in time for Christmas.

One reason being I ended up making it way bigger than originally intended.

I meant for it just to be a throw sized afghan, but I accidentally made it big enough for a twin bed.
Since it took a while to make I went through my normal artistic stages of:
1. loving it

2. getting irritated that it's taking so long

3. hating it

4. questioning my color-putting-together capabilities & wanting to burn it

5. talking myself out of anything rash
{considering how much work I already had into it}

6. liking it again

7. loving it & being sorry that I was ever so mean to it.

 Ah, well. I don't think it looks strictly Christmas anyway.
It looks rather Cath Kidston-esque to me.



The colors are so cheery I like seeing them on my bed.

{Yes, that is my bed. I know I'm the world's oldest child.}

I'm actually planning on redecorating my bedroom in the near future & I have a beautiful full sized wrought iron bedframe that I will be using which will make this twin sized bedspread obsolete. I'm sure I can find a nice home for it when the time comes though.

I used my new comfy ergonomic crochet hook for the most part & I love it! I can crochet for much longer lengths of time now. My hands used to get so sore & tired after crocheting for a long time. {Ok, so now I sound like an old person. That makes up for my juvenile décor, right?} ;)
