My love for winter does not pass when the temperatures rise; in fact, I have already started preparing for next winter.

This piece of crochet will (eventually) be my first crochet blanket! The pattern is the Irish Shores blanket by The Guy With The Hook, and I’m using a cotton yarn.

This is the first strip of seven I need to make, and it’ll be about 1.5m long when I’m done. At least it works up quickly!
I’ve also been sewing up some quick fabric wraps for Christmas gifts this year.

Above, the hems are all pinned, and below, they’re done!

Each fabric made two small (40x40cm) wraps, as well as at least one medium sized (60x60cm) wrap. I managed to get two medium wraps out of the mustard yellow fabric.

Between these and the large ones I made last year, we should be set! Though this did leave me with lots of scraps, which I’ll need to find a use for. Maybe a project for next year!
Anyways, see ya!
