Yes, Issue 18 should be in the shops and I am in it again with the final part of my Alphabet Mobiles. |

I have finally finished designing the Crotat Mini Bags I have been working on. The last one gave me a bit of a headache as the butterflies just wouldn't go right. This one is "Urban Camouflage". I was going to call it something really boring like mono stripes. |
This one is "Rainbow Waves" and made in pretty much the same way as the Urban Camouflage. Just with a lot more colour. |

I went a bit patriotic with the "Fleur De Lys" one. After all, I was designing it when all the hype about the wedding was on the TV. |
I love this colour, its so fresh. So I made the "Daisy Chain" bag from it. |

And here is the "Butterfly Parade". The smaller one was made with my new hook. Scarlet Dash very kindly sent me one to play with. Its a 2mm Prym Bamboo Hook. |
When it arrived, I though it was far too fragile, it just looks too thin. And I needed to sand the head to make it suitable for crotatting. However, it is surprisingly strong and supple. The head had to be sanded a few times as I was scared to take too much off but, eventually, I got it right. And, unlike the metal crotat hook, I was able to use it for both "normal" crocheting and crotatting. It saved switching back and fore between two different hooks.
I have to admit though, it did take some getting used to.
Talking about Scarlet Dash, have you seen the lovely interview she did about me?
