The Crafting Continues

A couple of weeks ago I finished all the squares needed for my granny square afghan.  I wasn’t able to get the yarn needed to complete the joins and border straight away, and I was at a bit of a loss as to what I should do in the meantime.  Doing all of those squares had cleaned out my stash well and good.

So I decided to crochet myself a bag.  Much time was spent searching until I came across this pattern.  One week later, and it was completed!

It even has a lining, complete with one pocket for my cell phone and another for my keys and lipbalm.  (I used to scoff at those people who couldn’t sew in a straight line.  Now, after being so out of practice, not so much.)  Luckily the piece of fabric  that’s been hanging out at the bottom of my sewing box for what must be nearly ten years was exactly the right size.

And it’s fastened with some wooden toggles to keep everything safely inside where they belong.

When I buy a bag, I usually make sure it has some kind of external pocket for plasters, various pills, tissues, etc.  Seeing as that isn’t the case with this bag, I’m using this little fella instead (a gift from my mum).

I’ve also completed a crochet hook organizer.  It’s not too flash, but it does the job and now my hooks are tidy and easy to find.

So now I’m about ready to carry on with my afghan.  But first, I’m going to knit up these Victorian Fingerless Gloves.  Because.

The other day I created this:

From this:

Using this: Psykopaint.

Quite like it myself.

This is the rest of my gallery.  The above is one of my first, when I was still working things out, and so it didn’t make it to the gallery (I didn’t know there was one at the time).

That’d Be About Right

Scrolling along, and this popped up on my tumblr.  Thought I may as well give it a go.

So here’s the first 25 songs that come up on my iPhone on shuffle (I thought 25 was a better representation rather than just 20):

1. Wolfmother – In the Morning
2. The Hives – You Got it All Wrong
3. The Used – Liar Liar (Burn in Hell)
4. My Chemical Romance – Cancer [Piano Tribute]
5. Nine Inch Nails – All the Love in the World
6. Rolling Stones – Get Off My Cloud
7. The White Stripes – Passive Manipulation
8. Peaches – Mommy Complex
9. Lily Allen – Not Fair
10. Swedish House Mafia – Until One (Continuous Mix)
11. George Baker Selection – Little Green Bag
12. Skold vs. KMFDM – All or Nothing
13. Machine Head – Ten Fold
14. The White Stripes – I’m Lonely (But I Ain’t That Lonely Yet)
15. Florence & The Machine – Leave My Body
16. Queens of the Stone Age – In My Head
17. Machine Head – Battery
18. Led Zeppelin – Nobody’s Fault But Mine
19. Pixies – Here Comes Your Man
20. Daft Punk – Crescendolls
21. Pearl Jam – Once
22. Beck – Readymade
23. Queens of the Stone Age – Hangin’ Tree
24. The Naked and Famous – Kill the Littleblackdots

Can’t really complain about all of that.  Seems pretty fair.

Look At Me Go!!

Time for a update about this afghan:

96 squares down, 48 to go.  (That’s eight piles of twelve done.)

I’m not sure what colour I want to use for the joins and border. At this stage I’m tossing up between white and cream, but I really can’t decide.

I know I’m definitely going to use this edging and just standard granny stitch joins.

It’s exciting!
