Knit frill bag

I made a bag using frilly scarf yarn , it was really quick to make and easy. No pattern just went along on my own. I need to make another one and write the pattern down so I can share it with you.
The weather is cold here at the moment we had one day of snow and it seems to have gone now. which is a shame because I actually love snow ! .
If you would like to see a copy of the pattern please let me know and I will get on to it. xx
Please leave comments below.

Crochet sunflower tunic.

This was probably my most complicated pattern that I've attempted and selfishly it was all for me too .
The pattern did say it was a weekend project but it took 4 weeks to do. remembering I work full time and have a family !  So maybe if I had a whole week end to myself and no need to put down my crocheting I might of got it done in a weekend lol !


Here it is what do you think ?

heres a link to the pattern

Crochet Owl Hat set

I made these last year and haven't blogged about them. Probably because I actually never got to really wear them as it was such a mild winter !

I also made a matching Cardigan which for some reason Ive never photographed will have to do it some and pop it on here xx

1. with your first colour yarn make a magic loop.
2. 10 hdc into magic loop
3. change colour , 2 hdc into each stitch
