m31andyAlso, instead of politics, have some piccies of projects I've finished recently.
First of all, three current projects:
Ankle Socks
Socks in Wendy's Happy (a bamboo rayon yarn), using the famous Clessidra as the base. One is made, I've just got to grit my teeth and finish the other.
Old Shale Shawl
Have just started my second of two balls of King Cole Mirage in peacock blue (there's a peacock theme going on, obviously) - approx 14" of the semi-circular shawl to go. It's not looking too bad (although the length is bunching up now. Must get to iKnit for a new cable)
Based on the Old Shale Tablecloth pattern - a semi-circle rather than a full circular shawl.
Peacocks Tail Tablecloth
In #20 crochet cotton on a size 1.25mm needle (i.e. tiny) I am currently hoping the waviness will block out. Based on the Peacocks Tail Tablecloth pattern.
Now the genuine finished objects:
Snuggly Wrap
Three balls of cheap aran and a rotten cold was all it took for me to make this. It's about six feet by two and a half, using "strawberry lace" and a basic wavy edging.
Cushion Covers
The dreaded return of the Big Gay Afghan - this time it's cushion covers. *g* Almost all crocheted, except for the one that looks like a liquorice alsort - that one is knitted.
I've no idea why the photo includes meerkats. It's probably illegal or something.
Peacock Buffet Scarf
In #20 crochet cotton with 1.00mm needle (i.e. even tinier). Unfortunately Aida changed their cotton colours while I was making it and whil #928 started out as definitely 'cappuccino', it ended up beige. I therefore had to cannibalise the two doilies below in order to finish this. This means that there were a lot of ends to sew in and that the doilies below sadly no longer exist. :-(
Two Doilies
Title links are all to Ravelry - I'm m31andy on there, just in case you've got an account too!
ETA: I just wanted to apologise for the unacceptable size of the original photos – I think I've managed to scale them all down now, but if any are still horribly large, let me know. I'm a pillock...
