As the name says I'm fond of the Autumn. I hate the Heat but not keen on it being too cold either, that's why a cool Autumn is nice. I'm also a crafter and that's what this blog will be mainly about.

too much as a jumper. Might make a hat or scarf though. A bit Xmasy.

Today is a 6” my own pattern square again
but finished off for my next scarf Shawl with collar the first of 36 I’ll need.
I used 2 strands of black DK to crochet round it. This will make the edges nice
and even and link up all the different patterned squares. I’ll do the collar in
black too.

Today is some knitting practice
My first go at a colour slip stitch pattern, Aster Flower stitch. After 2 false starts I managed it fairly easily, I found the vid to do it on You Tube. My first false start was forgetting how to cast on after 2 years of not knitting I did worry I might be rusty. 2nd false start was using wrong colour on 2nd row. But finally managed it. I'm gonna make a new needle caddy for my first go probably in fairisle and using the bottom of my large water bottle to line the bottom.

Today is 3rd Bug ATC.
I know its similar to the others but I wanted to use these big beads first
before I went mad on other back patterns., Next one will be completely
different. I did make this one with an ant type thorax. No back done yet as I ran out of time so next ones won't have fancy back but just the words as the others have.

Today is my 2nd Mask Brooch
This reminds me of aztec stuff. It was a mask I made a while ago that I badged (ie made into a badge later on after I made it) I like the way the beads made a headress on it. This is my favourate badge so far I think.
