'Ridgy' - Reversible Fingerless Gloves ...

Latest off the hook

6 pairs of fingerless gloves /wrist-warmers -  hand crocheted to my own design in sock wool as it is hardwearing and washable

 The design is 'Ridgy' a reversible pattern using a small hook so a good dense variety of stitches

Christmas KAL - Christmas Tree almost done!

Top part completed

Base completed

Back of the top - showing the wedges of the short rows to make the conical shape

You will end up with 12 curly / branch rows and 12 wedges between  - one wedge edge and one curly edge

These will be partially joined then a zip inserted

The base will have 12 sections which will match with each section of the top

Pull nay ends to the wrong side - tie off and weave in for a neat finish

 

Mark and then sew or crochet them together

If the circular section has ended up a bit small in diameter add one extra row to match up to the top

 

 

Then lay out the TOP wedge tree section and cut a piece of card the same shape - to stiffen the tree

Cut a piece of card the same size as the circle

 

Cut a piece of fabric for lining the tree - one same as the edge and one same as the circle

(If you want you can cut 2 pieces fabric and a piece of wadding the same shape but about 1"/2cms bigger and quilt the pieces together in radiating lines - like the tree branch sections - do 12 rows)

Pics to follow :-)

 

Christmas Tree - T B Ramsden CAL

Well I have finally succumbed - doing a CAL - my first!!

 http://www.tbramsden.co.uk/

 

Started yesterday on the Christmas Tree (Part 1) and half way through already - quite easy to do :-))

Each week they release FREE a different part ...so am running a bit late here!

 

Already the tree, and its base, star and holly leaf & berries are already out there ...so some serious hooking to do

I have a flu/virus so tucked up under my blankie snoozing n snuffling n hooking when I can - so a fun project to keep me from feeling too miz :-(((

 

I am making a few modifications - you know me I always do!

Am making the tree branches in various lengths - just to grade them a little - just a few extra chains or stitches here and there - they are nice and curly!

Also making it with a ZIP so you can open it up and inside can stash some pressies and then after Christmas it can be used to store the decorations inside - well some of them LOL

 

When I get to that stage I will give instructions on how to do this ................ and other tweaks if people are interested

Also a USA version as I still think in USA terms LOL

Hope she likes it!
