What I've been working on....

So I've just remembered that I started this 'blog' But haven't made another entry since lol..really slack of me I know. Now, things have been a bit slow on the photography side of things of late.  I recently...well 3 months ago ...moved back to Adelaide from Queensland and its been a rough few months getting back on my feet again.  In that time I lost one of the most special people in my life, my grandmother.  Her passing was expected and i made it back to Adelaide just in time.  I was by her side through the last few hours of her life, and it was one of the hardest things..no...THE hardest thing i have ever experienced in my life.  The time came where her house and belongings needed to be sorted out.  She was a keen knitter and had so much wool there my mum didnt know what to do with it all.  There ended up being a big green garbage bag fool of all sorts of wool.  Some stuff that i really couldnt use and lots that i could.  Its really made me pull my finger out and get back in to my crocheting again.  I only started teaching myself about 8 months ago, through youtube, but with the move it kinda went by the wayside.  Stocked up on a few patterns the other night and here is what i have so far


This little piece is called 'The Cassie Hat' and the pattern can be purchased at RAKJPatterns Etsy site.  I get almost all of my patterns from here http://www.etsy.com/shop/rakjpatterns .

Then there was this one. And I must say it was a lot harder for me to do this one.  I have a bit of trouble doing flowers and this one has lots of little ones stacked on top of each other...rather fiddly for me :/ 




This one is called 'Lavender Fields' and i found the pattern through http://www.facebook.com/AmbassadorCrochet The original pattern was done in purple...hence the 'lavender' but I didn't have purple so I improvised ;)
