BAKTUS MARK 2

First BAKTUS ended up a SKINNY hehehehe still wearable but not exactly what l was hoping for so l went back to the drawing board for the pattern and realised that because l was using a DC and that is about 1/2" in depth l was reaching the centre before l'd increased enough by using the increase every 4th row......

So BAKTUS MARK2

l used the same 5mm hook another DK and DC but increased every 2nd row

from the centre pic above and the bottom right you can see the difference in width!!

Not quite finished it but feel sure this increase change has made the difference l was looking for

oh and l used a very soft multi Acrylic so no itchy neck!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHRYN.....working on the bag so cya soon with your creation

hugs have a fab day xx

Never Let Go Of Hope

One day you will see that it all has finally come together.

What you have always wished for has finally come to be.

You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself,
"How did I get through all of that?"

Just never let go of hope.

Just never quit dreaming.

And never let love depart from your life.

MADE A SKINNY BAKTUS!!!

BAKTUS PATTERN l sort of used but wrong weight yarn and this is a knitting pattern hehehe!

Crocheted mine in DC on a 5mm hook

l used a multi blue turquoise and lime DK 100% wool too heavy really and it's a bit itchy!!

So l'll need to remake in cotton for me and it should have been sock yarn which l'm sure is a lot finer so it didn't go as far as it should so need more research for the cotton one but it made a

nice quick Baktus out of 100grms all be it a skinny one!! lol
