Moomins, Owls, Zebras and leaves!!

The weather is beautiful at the moment.  Bright, crisp days - fantastic colours on the trees, that sense of nights drawing in and the heightened awareness of the festive season approaching.

Since the last blog post, I've manage to score myself a wee job - working from home, doing admin for a relatively new company.  I love it, but it does take me away from my love - crochet!

Have posted pics of some of my favourite recent makes below.  Am currently being selfish and working on an Autumn Wreath just for me - I've just got that itch to make something in reds, yellow, oranges, and full of warmth!   No pictures just yet, but they will come soon . . . .

Here are links to the patterns I've used so far:

And this is the video I used to learn how to wrap a polystyrene wreath in yarn (did my wrapping whilst having my lie in, as hubby played golf this morning!)

So, these are some of the recent 'makes' since my last blog - I have been fairly busy



My Dusty Zebra - I got the opportunity to be a pattern tester for this fantastic pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/zebra-21 
She's brown and cream as she was destined as a surprise gift for someone who is AKA the Dusty Zebra!



This fantastic baby blanket was made using the Marken of the Hat and I's pattern
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/owl-obsession
A paid for pattern that was totally worth the money (the boss-eyed owls are a nod to me and my oldest, bestest friend and the nights we drank perhaps a wee bit more than we should have! The blanket was a gift for her beautiful baby daughter, born after a long wait)



And here is my Moomin!  He was almost too cute to give up!  Find the pattern here:




Anyway, it's late, Pink Floyd is on TV and I must catch some Z's before morning!
