Cobweb throw

A few of you will probably remember me crocheting my cobweb squares a little while ago. This week, thanks to a bout of tonsillitis, and not feeling like doing much, I've managed to sew it together.

Taa daah!

 
It looks quite nice thrown across the back of one of the sofas.

 
It's not perfect, but the yarn patterning is very forgiving!

 
It's so easy - just treble crochet.

If you're coming to our Granny Square crochet workshop next Saturday, you'll learn the skills to enable you to make this kind of throw. Truly!!!

I proudly present....................

 
Our first Pet Accessory. Made by the very talented & cat friendly Allotment Sue!

I think any self respecting cat would be delighted to spend a wet afternoon batting these cheeky little mice around. Good work Sue.

If you have made your pet an accessory and would like to see it Blogged here, please email it over.

Please note that the needle felting workshop due to take place this afternoon has been cancelled.

Baby Bliss

Debbie Bliss has worked her magic once again. This time in creating a knitting book of baby clothes, with helpful hints and tips on how to design your own little knits, based on her patterns.

 
The little girl below looks soooo cute in her dress with it's knitted top panel and fabric skirt.

 
Simple patterns are included too.

 
I love this little hooded jacket. Easy to knit yet stylish and practical too.

 
These letter graphs included in the book, give you the opportunity to personalise your knitting.

 
I think this is a great book for anyone wanting to gain confidence and is full of projects to inspire.

Knit & Nibble

Following our Knit & Natter session last night, in which nattering took second place to the eating of chocolate brownies! Here is my recipe, as promised.

 

Ingredients & Method

In a bowl combine 100g melted butter with 40g Cocoa powder. Mix well.

In another bowl beat 2 eggs and add 225g caster sugar. Mix well.

Add the choc/butter mixture to the sugar/egg mixture. Mix well.

Now add 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (optional), 50g chocolate chips & 50g Self Raising flour. Mix well.

Pour into a lined tin and bake at 180C for 30 mins.

Enjoy!
