I made this in the round, it made it so much easier and quicker to knit. Also looks better having no seams.

My Bright Orange Project Starling Bag

Loved making this! Took a few evening to crochet as I did the large one. I wanted a large one because I'm going to be using this one as a project bag as I am not too keen on the colour of this bag. So, as soon as I get some more wool of the colour I really like, I will be making one for using when going out.

I do highly recommend doing this pattern.

Cat's Gauntlets

I used Rowan Cotton Rope in Orange for these. They were really easy to make and only took a couple of hours to make.






You can find the pattern here - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/josephine-gauntlets
I had to downsize these a lot as I don't have very long hands or arms.
I worked - 
Rows 1 - 10.
Rows 2 - 10 twice.
Then rows 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49.
Then worked row 50.

Second Rag Rug

Here is the second rag rug that I have made. This one is used using the underlay from the curtains of Rag Rug 1.
It is smaller than the first one, measuring approximately 34 x 34 inches.
I did this one by casting on 60 stitches instead of 35 and worked 71 rows in stockinette stitch.
I'm thinking of doing one larger for each bedroom I have, for the end of each bed. So I'm going to have to buy some brown and blue sheets.

Skull Corset Top

I've been wanting to do this pattern for a long time now and I've finally got around to doing it. I'm really, really pleased with the end result. And, I've finished it just in time for Halloween.

Here is the front view. I placed white paper underneath so that you can see the skulls better.

 And here is the back view.

It didn't take me long to make this. I changed the lace fastening to an I-Cord which makes it stronger and made it a little bit bigger than the pattern asked for. I cast on enough to make 11 skulls across the bottom.
