Winter wreaths 2021

I spent a couple of days last week making winter wreaths. It was mild enough for me to work outside, which meant I didn’t need to worry about being a bit messy!

I managed to keep up with the Winter Berries Blanket CAL, I just didn’t get round to posting a picture after I finished making it. To be fair, I’ve been busy decorating my bedroom, so I haven’t had a great deal of spare time!

Autumn wreath 2021

It won’t be long until I start making my winter wreaths, but in the meantime, I spent a couple of lovely afternoons recently making another autumn wreath.

I really wasn’t looking for a new craft project, but I couldn’t resist joining in with this winter blanket crochet along.

This unfinished project is another kit from another craft show. I remember seeing these Lily and friends dolls in their cute outfits and fell in love with them, as did an awful lot of other people at the show: it was an incredibly busy stall.

Another day, another wreath

I made one of these nigella wreaths last year and loved it. I keep it in my craft room because I don’t want it to get damaged by the elements and it’s still looking pretty good one year on.

Look, I’m sorry if I sound like a broken record, but this was yet another kit with dreadful instructions and with pieces missing.

UFO number four completed

My fourth UFO for 2021. As with so many of my kits, I bought this at one of the Knitting and Stitching shows. I get a little over-enthusiastic at these shows, wanting to buy lots of new things to try. I like kits because they’re a gateway into trying a new craft without having to invest too much in case you don’t like it.

I really didn’t enjoy making this.

First wreath of the year

I haven’t made any wreaths for quite a while, and as my Christmas tree decoration was still hanging up on display outside, I thought it was high time that I replaced it with something new.
