Lucy and The Unicorn

Is it me or does that sound like the name of a children’s book?

Well it isn’t, I finished the unicorn and gave it to Lucy.

Here is the finished unicorn

And this was Lucy’s reaction when I gave it to her

It might be bigger than she is but I think she likes it and I hope it’s something she treasures for a long time.

Just seeing that grin is enough to brighten your day even if it’s one of those hellish ones.

So knitting wise I’m back to working on my jumper. I have been doing a bit of what people call extreme knitting, crochet and Tunisian Crochet. It’s a way of using up spare bits of yarn. Basically you put a few balls together and roll them into a ball or cake then use the new mega massive yarn to make something.

Here is a picture of some Tunisian Crochet

Im not quite sure what I made that for. I did crochet a granny square but of course I forgot to get a picture of it. At the moment Im knitting a scarf.

On there you can see one that f the knitting needles. They are quite large. If I’m attacked by vampires I’d have to decide between dropping all the work I’ve done and using the needle as a stake through the heart or just becoming lunch. It’s a bit of a tough decision. I don’t fancy having to pick up the stitches again if they come off the needle.

So I have short needles, long needles, a crochet hook a short Tunisian hook and a long one. I haven’t used the long needles yet but they should be fun to work with. It’s a reason to start emptying my wool coffin.

On to tangling. Here are the tiles I’ve done over the past few weeks.

The other tile with the blue background is the Sanntangle 3rd anniversary piece. It’s has now been over 3 years since Sandra did the first Facebook live tile. That a brilliant achievement and a massive congratulations to Sandra and all the Tangly Crew at Sanntangle HQ.

I have now done all 12 of the blocks and I’ve started to add colour to most of them.

Here are a few that I’ve added lost of the colour too

But with those I’m not sure if I like them or not. I’m honestly tempted to start all over again. I’m feeling like I have trashed them. I’ll have another look at them tomorrow and see how I feel then.

I’ve been working on another Fabric Tangle piece. This one is just for fun though. The main reason I started this piece was because I wanted something to colour in. Here is a picture

I think I wanted to make it into a panel on a tote bag. It could still happen though. If I do I’ll probably forget to post a picture of it so if you see me walking around with it you’ll know I did it.

I’ve done a couple more cards
