Dragonskin gauntlets
27th November 09
You know when you see something, or get a new ball of wool, or an idea you just have to start it right away? Why do they always come at once is what I want to know! The latest copy of Inside Crochet came through my door last week, and at that precise time I was, I say was, on top of everything. They won’t take long, and they were calling me, so I started… Then I remembered about the upcycle competion and the deadline is fast approaching, then I sold 2 more scarflettes on Folksy and all of a sudden my fingers are hurting so much, I have no skin on my thumb, and my right forefinger alternates between being numb and burning.
But look at these
Aren’t they truly gorgeous!
A little treat for my hands!
Fortissima Socka Mexiko wool, beautiful and soft #3 hook,and only took about a fifth of the wool!
And my comp entry is coming along brilliantly, painfully, but brilliantly – pictures soon.
What to do next?

Obviously, not with life in general, that’s an entirely different blog, if I rambled on about that question I’d be here for ever…
I mean I’m being super efficient and have finished several things off and have nothing in particular lined up for next week – scary and exciting! Right, bragging first, here is my wonderful scarf
isn’t it gorgeous! Its soft to touch, vibrant to look at.
And I finally took a picture of a jumper I was working on from ‘Inside Crochet’ magazine. I don’t know which aspect I love most, that it fits, I like it, it cost £6, the sleeves, it fits (did I say that already?)
Well, tomorrow I’m busy at school, but unbelievably, yes, really, I’m going out - at night! So I’m going to make a pair of earrings, strangely I don’t possess any black ones, but after that, oh, and I finished and posted my button jewellery swap, so I’ll post some pictures when I know Gemma’s received it. I also posted my 6″ squares for the CrafterooStitch It project I’m doing. Its a fab idea, we, that’s the royal we, (I’m too far away) are creating a sort of blanket, to be used as a back drop at craft fairs. Each person works 2 squares in any practical medium, 1 with their name, the other decorative. What do you think?
So, back to the ‘big’ question. If I’m being practical, which isn’t a word often associated with me, I’d remember that I have a few partially started projects. If I’m being honest, I’d say I want to work on the idea I got at the beach the other day from those mussel shells.
Procrastinate – vacillate, shilly-shally, me.
