Hi there!

I'm really not a good blogger, but here some of what I've done since last time

I've made two pairs of socks. One for my grandmother and one for myself.
This is the pair for my grandmother:


I don't have a picture of my pair. And I seriously don't know where they are. I mean, I washed them and dried them and now they are gone. I'll have to get back to you on that.

I got a new phone just after Christmas. Well, I got a phone in exchange for a lot of money. And the thing with phones today are that they are made up of one big screen, so I'm really an idiot just for buying it. But, I did, so I had to make something to protect it from the keys in my pockets. The solution was a phone cozy:


I love the little rabbit button! I made the "pattern" myself too.

As I was doing the phone cozy, I got inspired to do some appliques, and I found this cute giraffe pattern. I don't know Japanese. But the pattern diagram should be international. I think I spent the whole day trying to figure out where to start the whole thing. But then I finally got it! And .. voila..? A giraffe.


(I'm not to happy, but hey, I did it.)

I also found this incredibly cute crown pattern from the same designer, and this I'm a little more happy with:



I also tried my luck at tatting. But I failed. I think I need some serious tutoring before I can turn out something worth showing you.



Yes, It's a sock. It has rice in it. It's my home made heat pack. I'm thinking I'll crochet something to hide the fact that it is a sock with rice in it, but since I made it for my stiff neck, it'll have to wait.

I also have some work in progresses to, but I'll post them later!
