Thank you. I have never crocheted a person before only animals.Have spent the remainder of the year finishing off three projects (one not shown) plus completing another project.


It was a shame that I didn't finish the stocking before Christmas.2025 Fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons

did this yesterday as I was a bit fed up and needed a distraction. Have the crochet cushion cover to finish next. Excuse mess - one day I will have a neat house and how boring that will be!

virus shawl completed with some wool I loved the colour of but hated how it tangled together with tiny fibres while I was working it. Now going to start a mosaic crochet blanket with wool I already have.

As a newbie to crafting (crochet), I didn't have a "stash" but now I do!!!
A local lady was kind enough to donate (some of) her stash to me to practice with and to make stuff with.
I've got so many ideas floating round in my head with what to do with it all.
But first…I need to buy some storage crates!! It's a slippery slope 😉
How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 3.24% of current retirement "pot" (as at end December 2025)3
