Obsessions!

Phylllis has a new obsession.........socks! You have been warned, they are addictive! Phyllis also likes to adapt patterns and experiment with yarns and stitches to add texture. At the moment she is working on a pair that using a variety of stitches. I can't wait to see them completed. The set of three pairs of socks has been worked with DROPS FABLE and the other pair are DK ICE YARN from Norma.

AND......Phyllis even had time to make a cosy hat a set of ear warmers!

Elaine has been working with the popcorn stitch and created this beautiful baby hat for Yorkhill and the hat with the pompom for her box. in both cases , Elaine used two strands of DK together. Just in time for the winter!

Donna crocheted this wee brooch for her best friend, Caroline.

Morag only had a photograph on her phone to remind herself of the cushion she crocheted as a gift.

Roberta is full of surprises! She is craft mad and usually has a finish to show, holidays permitting. This week, Roberta, had another Twiddle Muff ready for decoration and a giant granny square blanket for Yorkhill.

I think Ally has a production line going in her work! This is a selection of Twiddlemuffs  that she had been decorating.

The final total raised by the Happy Hookers now stands at £3285 after a donation from Yvonne. Well done, everyone! What an achievement!

Happy Crafting!

Spring is in the air!

Stephanie used her quilting skills to make this gorgeous mini baby quilt, complete with a fleece backing for her daughter's friend who is expecting a baby shortly.

This bonnie wee jacket is also by Stephanie and is for the same baby. As you know, anyone who receives one of Stephanie's make is considered  to be honoured! Usually, Stephanie's makes reside in a protected vault.

My apologies to Fiona. I tried to rotate this stylish baby hat but the PC fought back. I love the look of this double crochet baby hat and am impressed with Fiona's developing skills with the old crochet hook.

Fiona also managed to find time to complete three premature baby hats for Lisa's charity. The size is amazing!

This eye-catching child's hat was created by Norma. Red and black is such a great combination.

Norma had a finishing weekend recently and this stunning fleece lined baby blanket was one of her finishes. Zoom in and have a look at the bow and mini charm. Great idea.

This cosy granny square blanket is another of Norma's makes. This one is for her daughter.

Audrey is always busy crafting and this week she completed four hats for our group charity.

Spring is here and Lyn knitted these rabbits for Easter gifts. The lucky recipients will find a luxury chocolate egg inside. I did something similar involving Easter chicks. Sadly, the little Easter eggs kept disappearing!

This blue hat for the Seafarers charity was donated by Linda.

Elaine crocheted this purple hat for the Shoe Box Appeal.

Jill knitted this smart wee pullover for her nephew using yarn from her stash.

Morag knitted another stylish hat for our group charity.

Audrey completed this intricate cowl during the evening. The yarn is 50 per cent silk and has a lovely shine to it.

Caroline crocheted this fabulous purple brooch for herself and I just fell in love with this Easter bunny, complete with a little pompom for a tail.
