Rose Cottage Handmade: FNSI

FNSI

Well here are my efforts for the first FNSI of the year. I decided to pull out the 3 balls of Bendigo Woollen Mills cotton that I ordered the other week and start learning some new and more complicated crochet stitches. I am doing them as wash cloth or dish cloth size so that they can be useful. Gorgeous colours to work with too. I got orchid, daffodil and honeydew. Making a change from black! plus I needed another 2 balls of the wool from there for Sarah's jacket otherwise it would not have sleeves lol.

I also enjoyed some reading of a crafty nature and watched a couple of dvd's with Lance as he had the day off work too.

So I might head over to Wendy's and visit there for a while to see what everyone else has done.
