Ok, so this year I am going to make ALL the christmas presents for everybody - I did this last year but I had kind of a wool fetish on my road to recovery so most if not all presents were crocheted (no doubt I will post photos at a later date) this year I am proud to say NONE are made of wool in any way shape or form - woohoo!!
Both kids were finally back at school today so after doing 10miles at the gym then falling out with my lawnmower I sat down with a mans tie and an old watch (which in itself is kind of cool because not only is it mechanical and therefore NEVER needs batteries, its in Braille!!) some scissors, a needle and thread, and proceeded to experiment whilst attempting to watch a film {BlackOut - not as good as the write-up made it out to be}
As it was my first, I predicted mistakes and imperfections - naturally, this 'present' is actually for myself, and to gain reactions for research purposes only of course, I must give myself this present early so I can wear it imediately (I have it on as I write - and it is surprisingly silky smooth and comfy)
Also, I kind of wish I had used this paisely grey tie that I have instead - oh well, excuse to make another 'practise' one I suppose!
Admittedly I am uber-snoozle at taking photos - more tutorials on blogs and utube is in order me thinks...
