Wool on Sundays – 111 (409 stitches)

Welcome to another Wool on Sundays :) Next weekend I will be in York to bring back my youngest daughter, who after a long time and a LOT of work, has passed all her exams and finished being a medical student, though she says she probably can’t say she’s a Doctor until she graduates in […]

Wool on Sundays -110 (A Fancy Flower Purse)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays! This week I decided to try out a variation of the Small Crochet Purse Tute – a fancy flower for if I go to the opera or something…! And I was quite pleased with it until I put it down on a pretty vintage table cloth and saw the first roses […]

Small Crochet Purse Tutorial

For this purse, I used 4ply weight cotton yarn and a 3mm hook. The frame I used was 3 1/2″ at the widest point and the finished purse is approx 4 1/2″ at highest point x 4 1/2″ at widest point. I used a durable, fairly heavy duty synthetic felt for the lining. My starting […]

Wool on Sundays – 109 (Time)

Welcome to another Wool on Sundays already! When I was a child, the grown ups used the expression ‘not in a month on Sundays’ to mean pretty much never but now I feel as if it’s Sunday every other day! They also used to say ‘Time goes faster when you get old.’ :( I enjoyed hearing […]

Wool on Sundays – 106 (Blue cushion)

Happy St Georges Day (it’s late Saturday night here) and welcome to Wool on Sundays :) I have finished the cushion from last week! I’m very happy with how it has turned out and I did not miss the days of weaving in of ends that I usually have at the end of crochet […]

Waste not, want not…

With some assistance, perhaps a little more than was strictly helpful, I have a sewing finish. Unfortunately, I can’t show it yet but you can see some sneak peeks above. Without giving much away, I can say that, when I reached the binding stage, I thought it was a bit too flimsy. Rather than adding […]

Wool on Sundays – 105 (blue)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays again – I feel as if Sundays are coming round more quickly every week! This week the world is very much bluer than we’ve seen it in a long, long time. A couple of days of torrential rain excepted, we’ve had wonderful blue skies and the woods are a carpet of […]
