Hooked Yarn

Meet me (minus 5ft)

We had a bit of sun around 1.35pm so I quickly took some photos to prove I have been making ’stuff’, not just sat here with a mug of tea and a slice of carrot cake typing away randomly!

Firstly my new top, not finished but its too cold anyway yet!  Crocheted in Kon-Tiki which is a lovely cotton/acrylic mix.  Its going well, such a simple pattern.  I’ve tweeked it a bit, the top part was supposed to be buttoned, but I thought that might be a little bulky so I joined it up with a slip stitch.  You then work in rounds down from that and I have to say its looking lovely!

Next I’d like to introduce you to Janebutalittlebitbetterthoughalotsmaller!

Wearing my usual get up of red converse (not a mouse Julie/Rich!) jeans and a floaty top with jewellery.  I was going to go with a nice little skirt and funky top but as I rarely make the effort myself I thought it wouldn’t be a true interpretion…

Obviously the hair is quite similar i.e scruffy, though I have to be honest and say my mate Nicki came round to do my hair today (dye, cut, try to style) and gave mini me a little snip too.  You can imagine how bad it was before!

And of course, I had to be crocheting, well that or drinking and I didn’t fancy crocheting a bottle of wine!  I’m quite chuffed with this bit, I used a cocktail stick and a nail file to shape it!

And finally, another swap, but its okay because its green …

Rachel from contented has another blog with a friend of her’s, called That little bit greener, full of info and tips and documenting their green journey. 

And they are hosting a swap – a green swap – so I couldn’t say no, could I…

 

 

“It’s entirely up to you what you send to your swap partner, it could be something Eco friendly, reusable, tips and ideas, re-purposed, organic, what ever you like. We thought it would be nice if you included at least one handmade item (after all, we are all crafty types, are we not?), so it’s time to get your thinking caps on. You could even include a little card with a green tip, it could be for cleaning, recycling, shopping, cooking etc?”
Closing date is Friday 7th May so go on, you can fit another one in, can’t you?!
