Vlog 139 - Knit shawl, crochet basket, some serious yarn stashbusting, and fun with stamping

Описание: Welcome to the Stitches and Slapdashery sewing room.

It’s a full video this week. I finished my Cog Shawlette by Amy Gunderson for Universal Yarns. I found the pattern, as always, on Ravelry.

I used 215 grams of the massive ball of Caron Anniversary Cakes in the Peppermint Plaid colourway.

I also burned through 707 grams of random acrylic yarn to make a crocheted basket. It’s HUGE! I love it and it will be useful as a catchall in my living room, maybe for my library books. It was quite hard on the hands as I was using a 10mm hook and four strands of yarn, but it was quick.

I didn’t use a pattern this time, but if you want to see a pattern similar to the ones I showed you today, check out this link.

We have walking, deer spotting, magazine talk, new purchases from Michaels, colourful scarves, and souvenirs from a friend’s trip to New Zealand. And also a bit of practice with some rubber stamps, linen and Derwent Inktense pencils, prepping for some serious production in February.

And then there’s Philanthropic February - a suggested makealong in which I hope some of you participate. More about that later!
