About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like Walking/Geocaching. I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Evangelical Church.

Owls and Robins

I found this cute pattern for an owl on the internet. I had to translate it into UK notation and also I added picots to the ears to make them more pointy too.

I couldn't find a pattern for a robin I liked so I have had a go making up my own.

It is worked in a spiral changing the colours as you go (but not cutting the yarn each change just looping it to where it is needed and only cutting off at the end).

It starts with 6dc in a magic ring, then 2dc to a stitch as you go round but sometimes just the one dc depending how it is going!

The tail has 2htr, 2tr 2dtr with 4 dc worked down the post of the last dtr. The head is made of htr.

Not sure I have got it right yet.
