**GypsyGirl** that is so thoughtful. I am trying to find time to go through my yarn stash. I plan to donate all the acrylics to a wonderful woman who makes sleep blankets for our local Humane Society. I donate money to them through a paycheck deduction and most of our animals have been rescues through there. So I'm glad I can be of support in that way too. If I only had the time to crochet all the things I wanted to.

I'm on a roll here. When I took the little yellow baby coat in to work, the girls loved it. One of them said that a girl in another of our branches is leaving in a couple of weeks to have her little girl, and asked whether I would make a pink coat for her from us all. That was my Thursday sorted! Well it was wet and windy anyway... I finished it this morning. Took me 10.5 hours and cost £2 in yarn. I found the buttons in DH's Nan's button tin, so they are properly vintage. Wow! I love it!! What pattern is this? Thank you! So did baby's mama, so I'm happy. I got the pattern from Ravelry, although I just used one colour: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/crochet-cutie-baby-cardigan

I completed a shawlette using one Caron Cake Gorgeous - those colours are so earthy. I miss granny square stitch. I need to make some more of it. I want some blue yarn to match the choir robes to make a blanket for church for winter Sundays. The draught we get from the back of the choir stalls takes the feeling out of our hands.

I am taking a metalsmithing class in the JC. This is my first project in copper. It measures 3 inches.

I upcycled this Hard Rock Cafe tee shirt. I love the way it turned out.

Are you using a gradient yarn or separate skeins? It's separate mini skeins, each one is 20g. I'm so happy with the colours.

Loving those colours lainey, they co-ordinate so well. I needed a break from unicorns so I started this little project from a quarterly UK craft club called Craftpod. www.craftpod.co.uk/ You get all the things needed to make at least 2 projects including pins and needles, a postcard picture of one of them, a flavoured tea bag and sometimes a little gift. Some of the boxes have not been to my taste but there's always small pieces of fabric and embroidery threads that I would use. I've spent two evenings on this little rustic blackbird and expect to finish him in a couple more.

I think all but 2, there's quite a bit left over when I've finished a wave so I might get another project out of them as well. I've used Gillian's yarn before and it's always gorgeous.

I am going to look for my hooks this weekend and do something. Even if it’s just a dishcloth. The afghan is in a bag somewhere. I really want a shawl collection. Then if I have a granddaughter she can use them for dress up. (I am back to making dishcloths remember...)

Started a new project yesterday- baby blanket for brother’s 4th, due end of August (a surprise to all!) Colours are softer/fresher than this makes them look (perils of artificial lighting).

I am drawn to blues and greens but maybe I should step out of my comfort zone a little? I think I fancy a nice easy crochet pattern for my next shawl.

Something in those colours will be nice. My mother’s friend bought fancy earrings and then went looking for a dress to match. You could have the shawl first then get something to wear... I am just putting it out there.

That’s one of my favourite patterns jennyap. It looks so effective.

Thanks for the info, liking the paisley far quarters. The last time, in their weekly mag, they had photos of the different effects of the multi coloured yarn. Perhaps they will do the same for the wavy yarn.

Has anyone crocheted with scheepjes whirl? I am debating what size crochet hook. I tend to crochet tight. 4 mm is the smallest size I own. I am thinking that a 3.5 might be right. I just want some back up before I go buying another hook.

I just want some back up before I go buying another hook. The shawl I posted up thread is made with Scheepjes whirl. I'm using a 4mm. I normally crochet pretty tight, but this yarn has been hard for me to keep consistent tension with. Don't know if that helps answer your question or not.

I just went back and looked at it again and I can't see where your tension looks off to me at all. Maybe I will try the 4 and see what I think. I am wanting to don't he Buddha shawl and I need good tension so the pattern can be discerned. If it was a lacy type shawl, I would have no problem with a bigger hook and a more open weave
