Back at Work & Another Scarf...!

Well, being back at work has somewhat slowed my crocheting a little. However, another scarf has popped out from the hook..!

...a lacey pattern this time, but very easy. Hoping the colour might go with my new coat.

I have also found the bag pattern I've been searching for. Now I need to decide on colours.

..in the mean time, here's a little sneak preview to my next project in the making..! Can you guess what it might be..?

Another Scarf

Larger hook - check

Wool - check

Pattern - check ('One-Skein Scarf' designed by Denise Cozzitorto from Patons)

Completed scarf - check, here it is...

I made a few slight changes, ensured the foundation chain row was within a middle row as opposed to on the edge so that the shells didn't pull big loops, also made it a little shorter than the pattern, and used x6 double trebles in the end shells because x5 trebles pulled a bit tight across the width. I also used a larger hook & tried to keep the tension loose for a softer feel. 

Very pleased with the result...xx

I am now looking for a bag pattern as a bit more of a 'longer term' project, will search Ravelry..!

A colleague at work would like a 'phone cosy' so might whip one up this weekend, but now I'm back at work after the summer break will have to find time to get to a wool shop..!

Scarf & Wrist Warmers

The scarf I started is now finished along with a pair of wrist Warmers to match.

I had to make a few alterations, the tension around the wrist cuff was too tight to get the glove on my hand even after several attempts at restarting, so in the end I have left a little opening & added a loop and button (I think my hands are rather wide across the knuckles). I have also added the same picot edging from the wrist warmer pattern to the ends of the scarf, just to finish it off.

...and of course as soon as I finish one project I'm onto the next...so here's the phone cosy I made yesterday....

..and I just need to get a larger size hook to start my next scarf with some lovely wool I've been given.
