Well what a year it has been, I have gone from being a crafts person creating lovely things for Open Studios and Quay Arts in Newport, also teaching in various locations to a shop owner.
Along the way I have battled against breast cancer, and this post is not going to dwell - this is the time to look forward.
My shop is TAJ Crafts, based at Holliers Barns, Branstone, nr Sandown, PO36 0LT. It opened last August, just after my diagnosis, more information can be found on our website and now 10 months later I am back full time in the shop. It has been quite a ride so far.
I am teaching again and trying to get my mojo back for open studios, which is fast approaching...
Below are images of a few things I have been creating over the last little while, along with a couple of works in progress
Ripple blanket which will be single bed size when completed, along with my sample swatches to try and keep the ripple colours as random as possible. The ripple pattern is the Neat Ripple from Lucy at Attic24. The pattern can be found on her blog
lots and lots of granny squares which are now being crocheted together to make another single bed size blanket
This is the start of the Lily Pond blanket along with my version of Attic24 Jolly Chunky Bag
The above selection are all using various combinations of the colours used in the Stylecraft yarns CAL Lily Pond blanket, information on the Crochet ALong can be found here.
Its good to be back, happy crafting whatever you are doing.
Best wishes
Tracy
