NEW! Pattern now finished

Well.. the pattern is finally finished and has been uploaded to Ravelry so you can purchase & get immediate download. Typing and the proof reading just takes me forever… maybe one day i’ll be a little faster

The swing into spring coat pattern costs £3.25. If you would like to purchase one just click here and you will be directed to the ravelry shopping basket to make your purchase & receive your instant pattern download.

I’m already working on the next patterns… my usual model was not co-operating this morning…

so I persuaded Finn to pose for me…

What do you think he wanted as a reward? To Play Star Wars Lego on our Wii & be naked! The joys of being 3 & 3/4′s So that was our deal… I was able to take some better photos and he… well I didn’t take any photos of him playing afterwards.. I’ll leave that to your imagination!

Swing into Spring fluffy coat update..

I’m busy typing up the pattern but just couldn’t resist sharing a photo from my 1st go at a proper photo shoot with our Grace modelling the coat & I now take my hat off to professional photographers! Phew.. getting just a few good shots was no easy task but also a lot of fun too! I plan to have the pattern uploaded to Ravelry for sale in the next week priced at £3.25.. So if you would like to know as soon as it goes live either leave a comment below or message me through Ravelry & i’ll let you know as soon as it is available!

Helloooo & Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you’re all having a wonderful time. Here in the Kelly household we’re having a relaxed Easter… staying put at home & just spending time together…

A sneak preview!

I’m back into my designing & crocheting and going by the last few weeks I’ve definitely got my crochet mojo back! So I’m delighted to tell you all that I have some new patterns on the go.. the first of which is almost finished. It is a swing style coat (that will fit up to 12 months) in snuggly soft Wendy/Peter Pan Velvet Touch aran weight yarn (see photo above). Of course I just had to try it on Grace as soon as I had a chance & I think she really likes it

The coat also has a removable hood and the option of making some crocheted daisy flower motifs to decorate it with… It took me 16 variations of crocheted daisies until I was finally happy!

Number 16 was the one!

I’ve a few more of the daisies to crochet, stitch on & hopefully I’ll be able to get Grace to model the completely finished daisy decorated coat… with & without the hood if she’s willing! Then as soon as I’ve finished typing up the PDF pattern I will upload it for sale on Ravelry… so watch this space!

Blanket squares

I’m taking a short holiday from Haggis the Highland cow… with a few blanket squares for a joint blanket with some fellow ravelers. This is my songbird square… just a few musical notes are needed, which I should get done tonight & I’ll post a photo of the finished square.

My tangerine dreams square turned out more like multi-colour dreams, i’ve been deliberating whether to add more orange embellishment? I haven’t quite decided on that one… what do you think?

Embellishment

It’s a beautifully sunny day today… may be even sunny enough to wear my hat! So as soon as Finn wakes from his nap we’re going to make the most of the rays… while they’re here.

Ravelry project 365

The Omnia has inspired me to join a new group… ravelry project 365! What is it? It’s simple… the aim is to take and upload a photo every day.

I decided to give it a go as I have now activated my shozu account and I can send any photos I take straight to my flickr account (amongst others).

There are some beautiful pictures in the group pool & you should definitely take a peek if you’re looking for inspiration.
