We have just been for a walk along Teignmouth Sea Front and despite the weather forecast saying it was 5 degrees c it felt more like -5!
Personally I would have rather stayed home doing my crochet but my OH dragged me out!! It was worth it though as the sea was quite rough which made it a bit more fun!
Only WIP to show this week!
Those of you who follow me on fb may have noticed I shared a picture of a teeny weeny teddy bear made by Sharon O'Jala I decided I would have a go too.
This is as far as I got! Not a particularly flattering photo, but you get the picture :)
Sharon's teeny teddy couldn't have been above the size of a penny from head to toe, but she crocheted hers on a very tiny hook and with sewing thread.
I have used a 2mm hook and size 5 Perle thread, so mine will come out a little bigger, but tiny by my standards! Chester springs to mind :) You may remember Maisy, she was one of Sharon's patterns too. If you would like to have a go at a tiny creature you can find Sharon's FREE patterns over at Amigurumi to Go! Have fun! They are rather cute :)
My other WIP is this .....
I bought some gorgeous cotton yarn in 14 rainbow colours from Planet Penny the other day. It was perfect for the project one of my daughter's requested. I am using a pattern posted by Emma of 'I love Buttons' I'll put you out of your misery and tell you what I am making next week, but in the meantime if you pop over to Emma's blog you may just be able to work out what it will be!
What's the tiniest item you have ever made?
There are a lot of links in this post I'm afraid, although they are all worth a peak. You'll have to let me know what you think. Just one more link and I think you regular readers can guess what it will be!! But, for those of you who haven't experienced the fantastic Wendy over at Handmade Harbour I suggest you grab yourself a cup of tea and pay all the lovely crafters taking part in Handmade Monday over there a visit. You wont be disappointed :)
