Crafting bling works for me!! All my knitting needles are so boring, so these would add some colour :rotfl:.

I am however not meant to be spending, according to dh, so I may have to flog some bits on ebay first to bump the paypal balance up!

thats what i was going to do to get some!!!

my second stripey cushion ,this one has little flowers added on.



Also ,I,ve nearly finished my baby throw,just run out of white wool for edging.

Wow! I'm super impressed and wishing I was at that stage

Wow! They're really lovely, I particularly like the baby blanket, it looks really cosy and soft.

Would love to be able to do that......

Wow artydoll, I wish I could crochet as good as you. They are fab!:T

Artydoll - they are brilliant. i really love the blanket.

My teddy bear is going so slowly. I spent a bit of time yesterday afternoon on him and all evening. Still go the arms and legs to do!

Thanks for all your compliments,took me over 60 years to be able to crochet,but I still cant really follow a pattern,I just make it up as I go along.

This is what I'm working on at the moment.

Those of you who have been to my blog might just recognise the shape of this amigurumi. I got to crochet some hair, eyes and a dress for her and it will be pretty little elf girl, just like the one I got on the "about me" bit.

Greenpixey - i have just seen the little elf girl on your blog. She is so cute. Cant wait to see this one finished.

I am half way through the first arm on my teddy. Still got the other arm and legs to do! Cant believe I am spending Friday night crocheting again!!! When did i turn into my mother!!!!!!!!!! :P

Ah I'm so glad I'm not alone! I spent last night the same way I spend most nights now, crocheting my hexagons. I'm now averaging 1 hexagon every 40 minutes so at this rate I'll be able to post a pic of my blanket in around a fortnight:eek: depending how long it takes to sew up.

Thankfully I decided to weave in the ends as I go along because I hate to think how long they would take to weave in afterwards.
