Lookee, Lookee at what I've done!!!


I finished my cargos last night, and also finished a skirt that I had been working on previously. I'm happy with the finished products, I hope you are too


They are a size small, with a gussett in the crotch area with little mock pockets on either side of the leg. I would love to see these on a little bubba, but dont have any friends with little boy bubbas, but I think they would be adorable on. Hopefully whoever purchases them will send through a pic of their bubba wearing them!!

And this is the skirt, done in the Patons Smoothie DK

I just love the colours in this one, the mauve and light blue are a beautiful combination and will be starting a pair of pants in this yarn today. This skirt is a small, with a full skirt and a little crochet flower on the front, not like you can see it in the pic, but its there,lol. Here is a pic to give you an idea on how full the skirt is

It really is pretty on, and I just love that, when they walk the skirt shimmies (only way I could think of describing it) and just sits beautifully. I cant wait to make my princess one in these colours!!

Thats it for now, going to start on a pair of girly pants.

Ciao for now

Yarn, Yarn and more Yarn...


I went to Spotlight on Friday, and I swear, bought half of their Yarn stock! Odd looks with overflowing baskets full of yarn, but hey, would rather have too much than not enough and just cant wait to get started!

Just loving
Patons SmoothieDK range at the moment, and these are my favourites so far

Great to crochet with, and I just love the finished product. My little princess has a skirt crochet from the colours on the Top Right

She is not the most fantastic model, and this picture really does not do the skirt or the colours any justice, but hopefully you can see a bit of what I see.

Along with the Patons Smoothie DK, I also purchased Patons Wool Tweed DK , Patons Jet and Moda Vera Sinful which I havnt worked with yet, but started on a small pair cargos, and I'm liking the outcome so far

The colours remind me of cookies'n'cream ice-cream, and I also have a chocolate brown colour Moda Vera yarn also, that I will use for the top ribbing and the mock pockets, which I think will work great with these colours.

So, this is what I'm up to at the moment! So much to do, but really excited that this is coming into fruition. Will post again once I finish the cargos, have to go now, my loving hubby is kicking me off the computer - men, what can I say??
