Make it Monday: Charity makes

January 27, 2014

Here’s a question: who do you make things for: family, friends or yourself (to keep or sell)? Something that I’ve noticed lately is that some charities/organisations are increasingly asking for donations in the form of handmade items. I saw on a Facebook post from Starting Chain they had compiled a list of organisations (mostly US) … More Make it Monday: Charity makes

I'm babysitting tonight so I grabbed this project to keep me occupied once the kids are in bed.
Making the rounds square and join them together. I'm using a continuous-join-as-you-go method for the first time and it's actually ok. I may change my mind when it gets bigger though.
This morning I went yarn shopping. I heard my LYS had a sale on (80% off Yarn and Colors cotton). This is just some of what I bought, well you've just got to when it's that discounted. This will keep me going in amigurumis til the end of time.
Throwback Thursday.
I'm steadily working my way through these rounds, I think I've got 18 to go before I can start crocheting the background colour. A good way to use up acrylic stash.
Day 4:4 Bank holiday/Jubilee weekend.
