Kell's Korner 2012

Here are some progress pics for my afghan...









I'll be putting it all together on the diagonal with the edges all zig-zaggy. Probably with tassels.

If you keep making these beautiful granny squares, I'm going to want to start crocheting again. That is going to be stunning.

Oh that looks great!!!!!!!

It's really thick and soft and cosy too - it's going to be such a warm, snuggly blanket!

[Squirrel]

Just what I need tonight a nice cuddly knee blanket!!! Never thought I would feel the cold up here so left my 2 knee blankets packed away - and of course it is in the farthest away boxes. Oh well, grab the cat and snuggle down with him

Great crochet Kell and I love the colour scheme - mine and those my mum made are from the scrap bag.

Your crochet is really coming along -- the blanket and cushion are beautiful, no wonder he loves them! And the white/grey/black squares are so elegant

[karen4bells]

Beautiful work Kell!! That is amazing!

[kell]

And finally, a little bit of cross stitch - hurrah! Here's Carmen's birth sampler all framed up and ready to go with the blanket, a book (Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter) and a cuddly toy (Roo from Winnie the Pooh). The last two were chosen by Xander for his new cousin.

That is just lovely. and with the blanket and Xander's picks that is one very very fortunate

And here's how my new afghan is coming along! I now have eight completed squares joined and you can begin to see how it's all going to come together.

Excellent progress on the blanket, I love the look of it! And that's a great birth sampler. How thoughtful of Xan for the other gifts.

Lovely lovely

I made a quick little gift for myself - a ruffle scrunchie in green and yellow (check how that yellow edging matches my yellow nail varnish!). I'm always tying my hair up and I thought this would be a pretty accessory. I think I'll do a bunch of them in different colour combinations.



I never thought about how difficult it is to take a photo of the back of your own head till now - LOL! Anyway, here's that scrunchie in action. Pretty cool, eh?

Lovely projects! They are all superb!

[Rose]

All of this is wonderful work!!!!!!!!!!

[rcperryls]

that scrunchie is great. You are so imaginative and then turn your ideas into practical applications. I love that.

I'd been thinking about doing something for my hair then I found http://meladorascreations-com.webs.com/doublecrochetscrunchie.htm and just HAD to try it out. It was such a quick little project and I can see me ending up with these in so many different colours. And I just know my nieces (who are 7 years old) would love some of these. As soon as I work out how to crochet with beads too, I'll try some with beaded edgings to see how they turn out. I think that would look so pretty!

That's brilliant!!! So unique . I'm wishing I hadn't had all my hair chopped off now!!!
