Crocheted Infinity Scarves

Sharing two Infinity scarves crocheted for my sister and a friend using
Melanie Ham's pattern which you can find HERE on her blog and HERE on YouTube

For my sisters scarf, I used 2 x 50g balls of Stylecraft DK, Batik Elelments
in the shade Titanium 


I purchased this yarn from The Cheap Shop, Tiptree, Essex


For my friend's scarf I used 1 x 100g ball of James C. Brett Stonewash DK
in the shade: SW14 Heather


I purchased this yarn from Hobbycraft and used a 5mm crochet
hook for both.


These are easy projects to make and are good for making 'on the go',
as everything fits into a zip-lock bag.

Birthday Card for my Nephew



Today, I am sharing the birthday card I made for 
my nephew last month.

I started by embossing some white card with the stitch embossing folder.

Next I trimmed it to the edge of the pattern, and matted it onto
some black card. I then glued it directly onto the card base, adding
some sticky peel-off diamond shapes to the corners.

Lastly, I die-cut the sentiment in black card and black 3D foam,
glued them together and then glued it to the embossed panel.

The items I have used are:
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Pinking Stitch
Penny Black - Happy Birthday

adhere it to the card base, then added the birthday sentiment and gems.

monthly Scribbler's showcase of Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog

The theme this month is 'The Most TREEmendous Time of Year’ where
we would like to see you use one or more trees on your project.

Sharing my design team card...

Lawn Fawn - Stitched Rectangle frames
Leanne Creatief Embossing Folder - Christmas Branches

I started by printing the Christmas tree onto white card and coloured the
 image with Promarkers. I then added Glamour dust to the image to
give some sparkle.

Next, I die-cut the frame in green card and black fun foam and glued
them together. I glued the frame over the image and trimmed.

Lastly, I added the coloured gems to the tree and the peel-off sentiment.

A Crocheted Throw/Blanket for my Great Niece

 Today, I am sharing a crocheted throw blanket I made for one of my great nieces. 

I used the lovely textured Sedge stitch which I found HERE on 
the 'Blossom Crochet' YouTube channel.
Rebekah’s tutorials are really easy to follow and she has lots of different
 crochet stitches to share.

I started by deciding how wide I wanted the throw to be. 
I chained 141 stitches, and crocheted rows of the same stitch until I 
reached the desired length.

I finished by crocheting a border of four rows of half trebles.

I purchased the yarn online from The Wool Box
using eight 100g balls of Stylecraft Special DK in the colour ‘Lavender’
