My creative space - Christmas Crochet

I'm running pretty late for My Creative Space this week!! Work has been super busy, and Rog has been in the city so I've hardly had anytime to do anything this week (and tomorrow is Friday... Oh my God!! Where did the week go?!)
Anyhow, this week I started to work on some Christmas crochet by making some Christmas washcloths using the round washer pattern that I mentioned earlier in the week.


Using some Cascades Cotton Rich, these little Chrissie washer were whipped up very quickly. The second one has one row to go (the edging) and it's done! Using one skein of each colour so far I've managed to make 2 washers, and have plenty of yarn left to probably make another 2!! How great is that!?



I hope to get a lot more creative stuff done this weekend...

Lots more creative spaces over here

  2. You mentioned the 'C' word in your post which scares me as I'm not nearly as organised as I should be! I have plans to make some presents but the fabric and felt are still waiting to be cut out! I love your washers, very pretty and will make great gifts.

    Tamara - I haven't done too much in regards to my shop as of late but I'm still very keen to start it up!! I might try and look into it more this weekend. Thinking that I'll definitley go with Madeit.com.au to start off! Does it cost you to sell items on there?
