surprise surprise

 September is a funny month kids back at school Christmas before you know it and I must stay focused and stick to Xmas projects and yet I am.distracted. a face book group is doing a mystery crochet a long . I know it's a hat. I know it's the advanced and I know it's in chunky but other than that I gave no idea. I am taking g part as its fun to join in and its four rows a week  so it's a tiny acceptable distraction


So here is today efforts

As you can see there is no telling what army this hat will be but I am looking forward to finding out . Any way that's enough distractions back to work

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
