<span style="text-indent: -1.7pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I had a shabby old crochet cushion on my chair and it was in desperate need of replacement. </span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -1.7pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1SnLDCY3XIP5Bkc9Rt-ui_NJ4zAIX4tk-7r2GHD5RToWrziD0pajWkJZ1PhFfTJlZY3VFm49yvDXEZTpGXQZi4QXs8rvxsIiHIGa6Ke3THfkl-Y2wX2Mdq24K6MUHoX6At6uvlirzd9U/s1600/IMG_0935.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-indent: 0px;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1SnLDCY3XIP5Bkc9Rt-ui_NJ4zAIX4tk-7r2GHD5RToWrziD0pajWkJZ1PhFfTJlZY3VFm49yvDXEZTpGXQZi4QXs8rvxsIiHIGa6Ke3THfkl-Y2wX2Mdq24K6MUHoX6At6uvlirzd9U/s1600/IMG_0935.JPG" height="400" width="400" /></a></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -1.7pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I very
rarely buy cushions they are the simplest thing ever to make. </span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -1.7pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Using some lovely bluefaced Leicester wool I set to. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-indent: -1.7pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The wool I had was 4 ply which was way too flimsy for my needs so I caked two balls together to make double thickness
wool to work with and I used a 4.5mm hook.</span></span><br />

<span style="text-indent: -1.7pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The pattern I used was this Round Cushion Cover from the Cute and Easy Crochet book by Nikki Trench but I was not entirely happy with my interpretation of it.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">You can make out the ridge on this one at each round change and I don’t like it. As neat as I am with my joins it’s rarely invisible and with this being
all one colour I think it stands out even more. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I frogged it several times but eventually I just had a word with myself and went with it. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large; text-indent: 0cm;">This is never going to be on show anyway as it is the back.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">For the front I went for a continuous spiral, using a stitch marker to mark my row start I just continued on and on making one large
spiral. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large; text-indent: -1.7pt;">I based the pattern on the other one for the quantity of increases on the rows and it worked a treat. This little thing used up three full balls of 50g 4 ply (doubled up). For the scallop border I used part of a little ball of Jamiesons spindrift
and I like the contrast.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This chair is in daily use so I couldn't fuss it up with a flower in the middle as it would just get squished, besides I really like
the simplicity of the spiral shape and don’t want to hide that.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I took the zip out of the old broken cushion cover and added it to this one, as I need to be able to remove my cushion covers.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> To
add the zip to crochet; a simple mattress stitch along each edge of the zip in the same wool gives a nice edge to join knit or crochet work to. I added a row of treble crochet around the rest of the cushion to keep the shape right with the zip in there and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It’s nice to see these two together, one knit, one crochet, one square, one round both in the same wool but such a different effect.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">First up were these daffodil brooches, a really easy to follow pattern by the clever <a href="http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/crochet-daffodil.html">Lucy</a> they turned out great. A bit of spray starch, blocking and a bit of fussing on the back and they were good to go.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">These sweet little things were made following a pattern from the Tilda Springtime Gifts book. I’m quite pleased with how they turned out.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Fairisle is scary territory for me but I’m determined to have a good go at it.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I don't know why but for the longest time I have always considered knitting socks as something that is way beyond my skill level.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I have knit in the round many times and I have knit lots of stuff on DPN's but never socks, why?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Well no more, I'm gonna be a big brave girl and give them a go. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I found this Two Needle Sock pattern in one of my books (Simple Knitting by Erika Knight) which was a gift from a dear friend:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large; text-align: center;">Socks for cheats! Socks knitted flat and seamed up the back. I have spoken to ladies who have made these and I am assured that you can't feel the seam. I've got the wool in my stash and I'm going in.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">If I end up with a functioning pair of socks I will be sure to be back to shout it from the rooftops!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you're a woman in my life you will have received a pair of mittens from me recently. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I get myself into a mitten frenzy every year. Last year I went ga-ga for Sandras <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cherry-basket">Cherry Basket Mittens</a> and this year it is the lovely heather's <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/217677928/crochet-pattern-miss-read-mitts-pretty">Miss Read Mitts</a> that I became addicted to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="line-height: 15.6pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Since
the discovery of <a href="http://instagram.com/kandipandii">Instagram</a> I have felt less need to document my makes on here
which was the purpose of creating this little blog all those years ago. </span></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.6pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 16.2pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 15.6pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I want
to remedy that and intend to do a few little catch up posts to have a record of
recent makes that didn’t make it onto the blogosphere. </span></span></div>

the result. </span></span></div>

from a pattern <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/11188699049345930/">here</a>. Using Sublime Baby Cashmerino and a 3mm hook they
are a nice size. </span></span></div>

think it’s worth it.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 15.6pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I usually add a little embellishment to

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The last few months have been taken up with the mundane. We have some family changes afoot which means moving away from Northumberland back to the county of my birth, County Durham. My house is up for sale so I have spent many an hour and weekend decorating and tidying which hasn't left much time for creating. I have managed a few makes over the last few months and of course I have been making gifts for Christmas which I can’t share yet. What I can share though are these:<span style="line-height: 20.8266677856445px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meet Miss Maggie, an <a href="http://posie-rosy-little-things.myshopify.com/">Alicia Paulson</a> design. This delightful creature was handmade for me by my lovely Lynda and I love her. Miss Maggie has been on my long list of things to make for an age, I have the patterns ready to go but now I can just accessorise her.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a kid the only clothes I had for my beloved Sindy doll were the ones she came with all other clothes were handmade by me. I vividly remember cutting a big square out of my candlewick bed spread to make Sindy a rather gorgeous towelling bathrobe. My mother was not so pleased, but to be fair it was the bottom corner. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When Miss Maggie arrived my first instinct was to make her something.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have added a cotton floral dress, some bloomers and a knitted pink dress to her wardrobe, I feel like a kid again making for my dollies!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I saw this Whippoorwill Shawl on <a href="http://www.craftsfromthecwtch.co.uk/">Crafts from the Cwtch</a> blog last year and when I saw the lovely Lynda (Lynda is the Mum of Sarah of Crafts from the Cwtch) wearing it on Great British Sewing Bee last month it brought it back to mind. This year I promised myself I would buy no more wool or fabric until I had worked my way through my little stash mountain, but look, isn’t it divine, all swishy and bright? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had to have it so I bought the pattern and the wool there and then before I put it to the back of my mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The pattern is available to buy on Ravelry here and the wool is Kauni Effect Yarn. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought my wool from </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/182515383/kauni-wool-yarn-2ply-self-striping?ref=shop_home_feat_4" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> it came all the way from Estonia in a couple of days! It’s quite a scratchy wool but I was itching to get knitting with it (see what I did there?).</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’m currently plodding on with my grey<a href="http://cda-petiteschoses.blogspot.co.uk/2009/01/tuto-tricot.html"> CDA Petite Choses</a> Cardigan. This is being
knit in grey rowan alpaca cotton which is a nice fluffy yarn but it’s a pig to
pull out as it catches. I should try to
make fewer mistakes I guess. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a
free pattern and can be found <a href="http://cda-petiteschoses.blogspot.co.uk/2009/01/tuto-tricot.html">here</a>, it is in French but there in a link to an
English translation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have mentioned before that I consider
myself to be a beginner when it comes to knitting, I guess I could say I was
now an intermediate knitter considering the range of things I have taught
myself to do but… I always feel like a bit of a fraud. You see knitting on long straight needles is
a breeze for me, but using circular needles and double pointed needles has
proven difficult as I am a ‘tuck your right hand needle under the armpit’
knitter. This is how my Mam knitted and
my Nanna before her and how I was taught as a kid. It transpires it may be a bit of a northern
thing or at least I have read that certain regions of the country tend to have
pockets of us armpit lot. This is a fine
way of knitting and I am fast knitting this way, but you can’t tuck a floppy
circular needle under your armpit, and tiny DPN’s tucked under there make me
look like a demented T Rex (yes I tried).
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided that I would have to re-learn how
to knit and how to hold my needles and yarn and I am quite proud to announce
that I have nailed it. It took about a
week of persevering but I have cracked it.
There are lots of various methods of how to hold needles but I looked at
them all and found a way that feels natural to me and this is it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This cardigan was knit quite quickly on long
needles up to the point where all parts had to be added to a big circular
needle. It’s a bit slow going from there as I am using this cardigan as my
practice to learn a new method of knitting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been interchanging between the two
methods of knitting and I find I am able to do both now without much trouble,
there is a 3-5 second delay every time I pick up my circular needles as my
brain puts my hand into the best position and the first couple of stitches are
a bit pathetic but I soon get into it.
Fingers crossed I will have a completed cardigan to share with you soon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.15pt;"><br />I was the very lucky
recipient of a stunning gift from my friend Lynda some time ago and I am
totally in love with it.</span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.15pt;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">I wear this
often, regardless if it matches what I am wearing, I just love it.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.15pt;"> </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">I wear it so often that I simply had to have
another one in another colour so I bought the wool and the pattern and went for
it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 4.5pt 0cm 2.7pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: -.15pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would say I am a
basic to intermediate knitter and looking at the shawl that I have it just
looks so complicated, but it’s really not.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 4.5pt 0cm 2.7pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: -.15pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a nice easy pattern
to follow and I think that the overall effect makes it look a heck of a lot
more complicated than it actually is.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 4.5pt 0cm 2.7pt; text-align: center;">

things mustard at the minute and when I clapped eyes on this Fyberspates Yarn I
had to have it. </span></span></div>

problems people have encountered when knitting this pattern, namely the hump
that forms at the top and the tight sides with the carrying of the yarn up the
side. </span></span></div>

complicated pattern but it is a grind, it takes a long time and towards the end
your rows seem to go on forever. When
the shawl came off the needles I was a mixture of relieved and gutted.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: -.15pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hump was very
obvious; almost a hood shape and the sides were tighter than I thought they
might be. Gutted!</span></span></div>

block it and see how I felt after that and lo and behold, the miracle of
blocking did its thing!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
