The Sunday Report

Not much achieved this week in my Year of Projects as life seemed to get in the way and other things needed to be done. I was holding off on making the final pair of black fingerless gloves till I got my new glasses which I now have but I don't think they're quite right. However, I did start the gloves yesterday and will have them done soon.

I do have a couple of little things to show you that I've made this week. While browsing through some very old crochet magazines I came across this dear little baby's bib and just had to make one ..

There is a pattern for a little boy's bib too - its more square with a little bow at the neck. Very cute.

If I'm not careful I'll become known as the mad hatter as I seem to make so many!! This one is part of a baby shower gift for my daughter's work colleague - the pattern was in a Debbie Bliss book I borrowed from our local library.


Finally, because I didn't want to work with the black wool last night, I started this quick project which will become a placemat. I love the bright, cheery colours in this Lily Sugar'n'Cream. The solid aqua you can see in the background will be the edging.

Thanks for visiting and have a good week. xoxox

  2. Pat .. I'm not sure what the stitch is called but you work *1sc and 2dc into a stitch, miss 2 and repeat across.At the end, you sc into the last stitch and turn. Ch1 (counts as 1st sc, 2dc into same space then from * again all the way across. Hope you can understand this and if you know what the stitch is called, please let me know :)

  8. You looked pretty productive to me! I adore that bib--it looks a little vintage to me. I hope you get your glasses figured out--I am going back to eye doctor on Tuesday as I have had nothing but trouble with my eyes since May and it is starting to wear on me!

  12. I wish I had "unproductive" weeks like that. Mine usually end with me needing a backhoe to get out of the door.
