HOW CHRISTMAS AND LIFE HAS CHANGED SINCE i STARTED BLOGGING

As you know I love colour but every now and then I feel drawn to one colour or another right now it seems to be the blue and purple ranges.

CHRISTMAS CHANGES SINCE I STARTED BLOGGING IN 2008

Thinking turquoise/silver and a slash of red for Christmas 2012.

I looked at the past 4 Christmases yesterday, didn't make the party last night wasn't feeling too good.

Been a few changes in my life since 2008......changed my crafting direction, moved house and written a crochet book....how has your Christmas time changed?

December 2009

December 2010

December 2011 we still had the same inside tree but added an outside one too..

Click the dates to see December for each blogging year if you are interested.

I wonder what changes this Christmas will see and what 2013 will bring?

Have your Christmas decorations changed each year or are you a traditionalist and love the
Red and Green?

Have a fun filled weekend xx

CROCHET MOSS ST. STRIPED BOLSTER....

I had a bolster waiting for a cover too, felt the striped Moss stitch would be perfect for the job with spiral ends.

Yarn and Hook

I used James C Brett Marble chunky from begining to end and a 5mm hook.

Spiral ends bit random an increase when I thought it needed it.

Moss Stitch Striped body....

The broad stripes changed every 12 rows, 6 of marble chunky and alternate 6 x 2 strands of turquoise, teal and lime, repeat each colour twice.

The spiral ends matching the two outer stripes of turquoise and lime

Decided I wanted a clean line so stitched it onto the bolster, one spiral end is stitched all the way around so reasonably easy to remove and wash

I will try again later but I am having problems uploading pictures for now.
still having problems so if you want to see more pictures try this link..
