I just finished one more fleece blanket! This one is a little bigger then the other. It's 2 meters long. The front is the wild horses and the backing is black fleece.
And a close up of the horses:

I'm still working on my Christmas gifts as fast as my fingers will go and when the kiddies will let me lol. I finished one more shawl and a pair of slippers. The slippers were for dh and he swiped them already! The shawl is my pattern available on my site Homestead Acres and the slippers is the easy mens crochet slippers from Bev's Country Cottage. This shawl I made from Red Hearts Comfort yarn, the slippers also.

He's been grabbing all his gifts early this year lol.

Well I'm late getting this posted. A few weeks ago my oldest dd (5 years old) started to learn to crochet. She's been busy making lots of chains.
|
She's so happy with her self and can't wait until she can learn to make some thing "real".

Well I'm TRYING to work on my shawl. The pattern I'm using calls for homespun yarn. You can't find that anyware local here and I'd have to order from the US or try getting to a larger city (not going to happen any time soon). So I was told that red heart light and lofty would sub just fine. Well this is the first time I've ever worked with this and I HATE it so far! I'm using a multi blue one and it's impossible to see the stitches (I never have trouble even with black yarn or multi in other yarns) and it's so fuzzy it's very hard to pull the stitches through. I'm getting really frustrated !! LOL I have a LOT of these to make up as gifts this year and I've already had to rip this one out 4 times!
Pattern says to use a 9mm hook tried that it's to small for the yarn. I'm using a 10 and it works better but it's still a pain...Anyone else have trouble with this yarn or is it just me???

I'm really having fun with the knitting looms. Here's a pic of my first hat. I'm about half way done another one now.

I've just discovered a new "old" craft. Loom knitting. I got myself a set of Knifty Knitters and just started working on my first hat yesterday. I love these things! It works up fast and so easy to use. I haven't been able to master knitting with needles but this is so easy. And the best thing is, it would not be easy for my little ones to pull out stitches if they got a hold of it! I'm looking forward to having fun with these.
I'd also like to share a friend of mine started up a looming group for Christian woman 50 plus. Here is the link if you would like to join.
