Christmas Crochet 2015

This year I have been far more organised for Christmas in terms of actually buying gifts as well as making them. This makes me very happy indeed, meaning (fingers crossed) that December will be a 'me' month where I can crochet personal projects (and there are a few!) and have some lovely family time where I'm not worry about running around trying to find presents at the last minute!!

First Attempt Jumper

                                

So the jumper is finally complete! I can't actually remember the date I started but it didn't feel like it took a long time to complete.

This was my first attempt at a jumper or any item of adult clothing. I've tried several times before to make a jumper or cardigan but the projects have either fallen by the way-side or I've found it too difficult to concentrate on it and have given up. So now that this one is finished I'm super happy I actually stuck with it.

For such a long time now I’ve wanted to make an item of clothing for myself. The majority of the stuff I make is for other people bar the odd hat, scarf or blanket here and there. I love making for other people and it gives me the drive to finish something whereas when I’m making just for me I tend to start and stop…and sometimes never return to it! 

Time Away

I've just come back from a lovely break away to Scotland. We go away to visit hubby's family at least once a year in the Spring/Summer so it was a nice change to go in Autumn.
