Still making flowers, this time from the gorgeous red cotton I recieved from Liri, I need quite a lot of these so just doing a few everyday making a nice stack.
The cooler weather had me reaching in the yarn stash for this gorgeous mohair mix, Studio from Cleckheaton, to make a shawlette for myself.
The design is the South Bay Shawlette from Lion brand yarns it is a simple two row pattern and works up really quickly.
Thursday last I took a train trip to the City to meet a friend from the country, I grabbed some yarn and a hook and whipped up this pair of mitts on my trip. These are super warm and toasty and leave the fingers free for working.
Patternless - simple rectangle design with thumb hole and a little finishing, now I'm ready for more winter adventures.
Hope the sun is shining in your part of the world.

Wow, super crafter! Love those flowers, that's the only reason I want to crochet, t make me some of those. And those mitts are awesome! will we see you at NCB again soon? I'm down your way Sat mornings for basketball, we should meet up for a coffee one morning :)
Your garden sure is growing nicely....pretty shawlette pattern, you certainly will be warm and toasty while you are crafting up a storm...
You are so clever and your work is beautiful....little crocheted flowers look so sweet in that pretty yarn.
I too have the crochet bug! lol! Your motifs look lovely!

I'm like you at the moment I can't get enough wool or crocheting done and I find myself buying more wool :) Barb.
Lovely shawl. Now where are all those flowers going to go ?
You're like a crochet genius or something. I guess one of the nice things about winter is being able to work comfortably with soft and snuggly yarns. I find myself stitching a lot lately because I can do that in the loungeroom where it's warm.
Love that red thread!(and the flowers you seem to be making magically appear from it)
