mystery make

Ha  at last  !!!!!

 maybe it just hates the kindle switvhed to pc and it work good job too as was going to lob through window ....... anyway

Today I just didn't feel like picking up my hooks. So instead decided to work on the Dorset button mystery kit I got from unwind Brighton.

It's done in 2 ply which I did struggled with a bit and whole process to create button is bit fiddly but I think eventually I got to grips with it


And here it is

 the  kit contained  the wool  a needle and various intsruction. i love the colours anddespite being so thin the wool is truely lovely makes me whish in general i could afford better  than standard double knit . lol i am guessing you dont want to hear about my wool poverty  so will  move on 

 this is pretty basic variation of the wheel  . some of the instructions  were very complex but  they can be very ornate . here are some examples 

and heres  another 

 these are really good for necklaces and bracelets and i think would make  interesting fastening for a shawl or scarf i wont be making loads of these but who knows i may try my hand  at some more . if your interested in making your own instructions can be found on good old google 

quick update

Just a quickie I put the button on  and I think it looks much better this comes from.the simply crochet  mag . It was a cover freebie. I was at a loss what to use it for but actually it's perfect

 I will be awol for a few days .as tommorow is my birthday so heading down to the unwind festival at Brighton !!! I have even more reason than my birthday to celebrate I have after six years finished with the open university and proud owner  of a hours degree


I am sure the next post will be my festival snaps enjoy your weekend whatever your plans x 

festival virgin

There are many things I have never done rock concerts , clubbing and yes festival . I don't mind none of these things are really me untill I discovered a festival tailored made for me.

Brighton is very close to where I

 grew up and I noticed there a festival on the weekend of my birthday . The festival is called Brighton unwind and yes you guessed it it's a wool and knitting crochet festival.

I was destined not to go as my other half works most weekends and we live 400 miles away but the fates have conspired and he's off and willing to drive me and we staying at my mum's for weekend. I can not tell you how excited I am.to be going

Here is a link if you fancy reading more about the festival and who knows I may even see you there
