The adventures of a fifty-something into the world of crafting!

I have been busy with commissions !!!

I seem to always be saying that I have been very lax in updating my Blog. 

I have however been busy with commissions, which has given me a huge boost as far as confidence in the quality of my work. 

Here are some pictures of recent projects that I have completed:

Followed by a request from my husband for a hat and scarf for the winter:


The sweater vest being worn at work by the new owner, set up the question, what else do you make, and showing them the above project got me a new commission:
I really really like the grey and black scarf and hat, but my husband's favourite colours are Red and Black, and who am I to argue.

Work is also going really well, I have been doing support work the last three weeks, and back taking calls the last few days. More training from next week, and then more time doing support work. While my husband is driving to work and back, I am knitting or crocheting my current project, and I feel that time is not wasted looking at the view, when it is mostly dark.

My current project is the following shrug I made for myself and which I am now making for a colleague in Purple:
And I wore this long sleeved shrug I made last winter to work, and have had interest in making this one as well:
This blue shrug is made in a very thick yarn,and knitted up very quickly, and works very well with a broach pin to hold the two sides together at the front.

So as much as I have neglected the blog, I have been busy. As always I hope to be more consistent in updating in the future.

Oh and before I forget, today is the 3rd anniversary since my cancerous right kidney was removed, and I feel great!!
