For Emma

I've been making things for my niece Emma. Since she has messy hair right now, I'm forced to show you what I've made lol. This is a red headband that photographed kinda weirdly but it shows the texture and you can just imagine that it is fire-engine red.

This two stranded headband is actually the same design as the one above but because the wool was really cute, colourful and fuzzy, I decided just to leave it without a flower or bow. Btw, please excuse my red blotchy face-I have the flu.

Using the same concept, I made a four stranded bracelet. None of these three designs are single strands the whole way around, I crochet the ends together each row, and crochet a button hole so all I have to do is sew in two loose ends and sew on a button. I'd wear it!

Ryan's blanket!

I finished Ryan's blanket today and I was so excited! I just gave it to him. Before I did, I took photos of it because it is was a massive project making a knee rug. I started this blanket when my dad was in hospital after his first stroke. It kept my hands busy while I sat at his bedside helping him to eat etc...and now it is completed and my dad is at home and independant. Between that, and the fact it is my biggest blanket yet and that it is for my gorgeous hubby makes it a very special UFO to have finished!

I lay it out to take a photo before I gave it to Ryan and Flynn decided he would like to help model it's lovely warmth lol.

This is what it looks like close up, only the colours are all much darker. It's a burgundy red, navy blue and forest green but the flash has made it look lighter.

Yay me! It's all finished!
