The most amazing touching designs.

I love this book.

If you are having a baby or you want

to make something as a gift,

this book is brilliant.

Each of the designs are so special and

can be used together in the nursery

or around the house.

The pillows and blankets could be used

around the house.

There is nothing more special than

something made with love.

Making these designs just add something even more.

I love the touching way the animal designs have been used.

They are classic designs that won't go out of fashion.

Each of the patterns is in written format.

Most of the patterns use basic stitches

and use the colours to create the designs.

To be honest I love the designs so much

I won't just be making them as presents for babies.

I'm going to make a few of them for my house.

I have already ordered the yarn to make

the owl pillow and the squirrel blanket.

A book full of touching and beautiful designs.

Indian Blanket ~ Annie's ~ Book Review

Indian Blanket

Designed by Jane Hadden

ISBN: 9781573679510

Publisher: Annie's

Publication Date: 26 November 2015

RRP: £4.99

Available direct from Search Press.

   

There are some designs in life that just speak

for themselves.

Jane's Indian blanket is one of them.

Her beautiful rendition conjures up

thoughts of the old west and painted sunsets.

The design honours the Indian Art Form.

The colours she brings together create

a magnificent look that you will be able

to create for yourself.

All you need is the worsted weight yarn,

a g hook (or the hook required to achieve the guage)

and a tapestry needle.

13 different colours are used in the design

and you need varying amounts of each.

The whole of the design is worked in a sc

and by only crocheting in the front side.

This is also how the tassles are created

at each side of the blanket.

The pattern itself is in written terms

but the actual colours you will be crocheting

are in a graph chart format.

It will take concentration to get this

blanket correct but it will be well worth the effort!

A fantastic design that really does look

like a piece of Indian Artwork.

Wow what a week.

I am starting to feel a bit more like me.

I am super excited to tell you

This is a big step for me.

I designed a hooded cowl.

It's called;

Night & Day Hooded Cowl.

I will have the free pattern for you soon.

It's made using Manos del Uruguay

Wool Clasica.

It's handspun pure wool that has

been kettle died.

This yarn is from Xena Knits

Benji has had such fun going out in the mud

He has been meeting up with his friends

Tilly & Rocky

Tilly is my favorite.

She is super cute and super cheeky :-)

Into The Jungle ~ Annie's ~ Book Review

Into The Jungle

Designs by Cindy Cseh

ISBN: 9781573679527

Publisher: Annie's

Publication Date: 01 June 2015

RRP: £7.99

Available direct from Search Press.

   

WOW!

I love this book and I love these patterns.

They make up such an amazingly cute

toy that would be brilliant to give to

any child.

Each of the animals is super fun and super cute.

It's a fantastic toy that just makes you 

want to smile!

You start off making the centre palm tree

and then move onto each of the animals.

At the bottom you have the giraffe, then

elephant, lion, tiger & monkey.

When the whole toy is finished it measures 17" tall.

The pattern uses Red Heart Super Saver

medium Worsted weight yarn.

So it really isn't going to break the bank.

You need a 5.5mm crochet hook, tapestry needle,

stitch marker, 12" tall plastic foam cone

& fibrefill.

The pattern calls for a confident beginner

so it's something that most crocheters 

would be able to make.

Each part of the patterns is in written format

in an easy clear and concise way. 

Each animal etc. has it's own section in

the pattern book and is broken down

into the different parts.

There are pattern notes to help as well

a full stitch guide to help you along.

I would highly recommend this book.

The design is great fun and would make

brilliant gifts!
