Here’s to a crafty 2016!

It’s no secret that I love crafts. Whether it be scrap booking, making things with the kids, quilting, knitting or sewing something.

In the past I’ve made quilts for our twins using their old baby clothes and I’ve half knitted two scarves for them! I’d like to be more crafty in 2016 so I thought I’d write about my progress.

Over the past few weeks I’ve sourced fabrics from various places. My sister was kind enough to give me a bag, as were two ladies from a Facebook selling group.

I also bought a pack of fat quarters online, along with a wonderful 50 fat quarter makes book. I also have  a quilters bible book too. I’m hoping to make a quilt for my husband and I’s bed, as well as some other things too.

In the meantime I thought I would share with you my first attempt at hand knitting a double infinity scarf. I used this fantastically handy tutorial: How to make a 30 minute infinity scarf. It actually took me around 90 minutes, but I imagine with practise I’ll get quicker.

I bought some lovely, bright, vibrant, ‘rainbow’ wool online which was £2.34 per skein (ball) and I used four skeins in total.
