Crocheting

Well I have finally finished some crocheting projects and I was determined not to open a new ball of wool until the current ones were finished - and I succeeded - YAH!!!!

Firstly I started on a beanie for Nate as he had chosen out the orange as his favorite color in the shop....

  I really had no idea what I was doing and made it up as I went along, hence the little pixie point on top! But it is kinda cute  :)

 I then decided to make a matching scarf as most scarve are way too long for him and winter is around the corner. It is not that spectactular, I had originally started out single crochet and realised it was going to take me forever, so after two colors of that I switched to double crochet and finished the other end off with single crochet to match.

 Nate thinks they are great, I'm just happy that I now know how to crochet!

I was making this beanie for me - it was very hard on my hands to make as the wool is super thick and my largest hook is a 5mm - but it's turned out great, too small for me in the end, but a perfect fit for Hayles and I'm going to make a few more flower to go onto it.

So with the left over wool I made my nine granny squares for a cushion for Nate...

And some bunting to match...

And when we finally made it on our day trip to Nundle to the wool mill, I was all ready to pick out some new wool!! I also got some wool for spinning, can't wait to learn how to do that! I am missing a few bits of my spinning wheel, so when hubby gets it all sorted out for me - a spinning I shall be!
