I ran off and bought the fine cotton and made this:
... it took bl&%dy ages! I did enjoy it though and it is really delicate and pretty close up. I will turn it into a lavender sachet when I find the right fabric for the inside.
These are what I need to make next with Autumn gently creeping in; well, actually up here in Northumberland it is Galloping! I have been after a pattern for these for a while, I have had a look at the pattern and it's a bit tricky (for me!).
I have actually attempted to start these twice now and have ripped them back to the beginning twice. Aaaaarrrrggghhhh! I don't help myself by making them in black, now I have had two attempts perhaps it will be third time lucky with a different colour yarn, one where I can actually see the stitches, I am thick sometimes! The lovely Chloé of Clobelle who is my Autumn Swap partner has kindly emailed me one of her knitting patterns for 3 hour fingerless gloves - so for now those crochet gloves can go hang, I will try Chloé's knitted ones next, it might be more like 30 hours than 3 as I am a slow knitter but still!
Any ideas for a nice simple crochet scarf?

Love the gloves - hoping to find some at the Bike Basket Bizzare next week!
Blimey, you're a dab hand with those hooks now, aren't you?! Can't wait to see the gloves. I'm going to crochet some myself as it's getting very nippy now. xx
The white lacy piece is my favorite. So frothy and delicate looking!
I tried crocheting using black yarn once and thought I went blind! It's too hard.
The little delicate lavender bag is going to look stunning once you have finished it. You are doing amazing with your crochet.
That sachet is spectacular! Love those wrist cuffs too. Gah,I'm too impatient to learn crochet,but really want to!!

Well done on the sachet! Very delicate and intricate looking!
I've always wanted to try crochet!
I love those ruffled wrist cuffs - I tend to over -estimate my crochet abilities and do lots of unravelling too!
Good luck with the gloves! I'd love to try crochet but I don't think I have the patience!
