Handmade gifts



Stayed up last night to crochet a Queen Anne scarf as a gift for my daughter's student teacher, Ms Joseph, whose leaving on Friday. I made it up in a denim coloured double knit with a 3.5 hook. Altogether it has 100 motifs (50 doubles). It looks about the right length for a scarf.

Then I made a fabric flower brooch using a tutorial by blairpeter. I used some of my fabric sample swatches in teal and pink tones. Very pleased with the result and so easy to make. I'll certainly be making more.

PS: Ms Joseph loves her scarf!
