Sooo

What have I been up to?

Well, I've started a latch hook rug for my ickle nevvie. It is a Christmas present! I thought I would get it started now... Hopefully it will be a pirate skull and crossbones rug. Or possibly a floor cushion! It's great fun and I am thorougly enjoying what I've done so far.

I've also warped up my new toy - my Ashford Knitters Loom. Currently it has a scarf for my Dad on it - more Christmas presents! The warp has been a bit of a pain though. Yesterday it snapped. 3 times! I felt like taking it off the loom asap. But I've persevered and I'm getting somewhere. Slowly!

I went to the Stitch Pontypridd group last week in Clwb Y Bont. It was good to be surrounded by other people crafting. I'm hoping to go again this week. Maybe the scarf will get finished! *crosses fingers*

I've gone a bit crazy ordering stuff this month. So shortly I expect all my goodies to turn up in the post! Definitely looking forward to getting more crafty stuff done. I'm hoping that my next project will include some lovely yarn I bought at Wonderwool but couldn't fit my reed! So hopefully my new reed will manage to cope with the chunkier nature of it.

I also joined the Online Guild of WSD. I realised that as much as I love Glamorgan Guild, meeting more crafty people could never be a bad thing - so I sent off the cheque and have dipped my (virtual) toe into their virtual world.
