Last night I was super tired so I got on with my bunny which is a super easy knit a row, purl a row and have now finished my first ball of wool. I want them to be fairly big so I'm now thinking that each bunny may take 2 balls of wool by the time I finish making their bodies, make 2 long ears and their pockets which I am desperate to make.
This is my cross stitch jewellery roll that I am making and I love it!
The pattern is slightly different from that in the book as I did the ring first and didnt realise that I didnt have it up the right way! I'm hoping that my new design will still look ok though and I'm happy with it. Still a fair way to go - need to finish doing the cream stripes (and my stripes have gone a little wrong as my middle largest cream stripe didnt line up with the middle of the ring but nevermind - I have left space to have a blue stripe in the middle which I hope will look ok!)
The thread I am using I think is Anchor super thick - it is like cross stitching with wool! I think next time I will just use some of my wool to do these projects with. There are definitely going to be future cross stitch projects. I have an amazing Big Stitch book which has the most amazing projects. I think I am going to make a glasses case next although it will have to be super tough as my glasses to take quite a battering in my handbag!
Need to get organised for Ireland tonight/tomorrow - must remember:
- Gifts for the family
- George's finished scarf!
- Wool (new grey/black x2 plus black wool x1), crochet hook, scissors (am hoping they will be allowed to fly) and my pattern to make Sams bag
- Wool (cream/brown, pink and green), crochet hook and pattern to make the hearts for mothers day
- Warm and waterproof clothes!
Hmm and all of this has to fit within hand luggage - might be fun!
