ow - my eyes!

During our trip to the seaside last weekend we spotted some very nice fleece lined knitted snoods which Ted really liked. I promised him I'd make him one as I have loads of left over fleece from making the inner bit for the pouffe. He made me promise to use his luminous yellow wool he has. Now the photos do not do this colour justice! 

I started it in the evening and using up left over wool - Ted wasn't over awed by my left over stash... it was no where near bright enough for his taste but I continued on. 

In my mind it would look wonderful - a bit like the gorgeous blanket here. It wasn't till daylight that the true colour shows... blimey it burns into your eyes!

Ted loves it and has worn it constantly... quite often as a hat too!

I've been trying out new crochet patterns, this one is a Treble Fan. I re-jigged it so it continued in the round as I wanted it to cover some tin cans.

I thought they'd make good presents but once I finished I didn't think people would appreciate an old tin can covered in crochet! Maybe a glass jar? 

This idea is now in the 'pending' pile for further development!

The Crescent moon shawl is now coming along nicely. I'll admit to ripping the whole thing back and starting again as the part of the pattern overlapped as it has been printed over two pages in the book, I thought I could cope but clearly I couldn't! So photocopied each page and stuck them together - without the repeated bit.

We are heading north to Scotland in a few days to see family for Christmas so hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
