A Patriotic Knit

This is the small Union Jack Pillow I knitted for my eldest son for the UK's most patriotic year 2012. We celebrated the Queens Jubilee and of course the London Olympics.

The knit was quick and the Union Jack is Swiss darned onto the front. I was totally happy with this knit and my son loved it!

My first successful Crochet project.

I have been crocheting that long, maybe about a year. I found it really tricky at first. But once I got the hang of it I found projects can be really quick. Much quicker than knitting.

This is my first successful crochet project. A flower key ring! I got this pattern free from the Coats and Crafts uk website. So if you like it you can download the pattern here.

I would definitely recommend the pattern to a beginner.

Happy crocheting

Me!

Hi, I'm Rach. 

A lover of knitting and crochet and other crafty delights. I am addicted to hidden object games which I play on my iPad. My iPad is an extension of me as are my knitting needles and a crochet hook.

I want this blog to document all the things that I make. I figured that  blogging the things I make would be easier than making up a scrap book.
