Crocheted leaves - and a solution to the ordering on website

 

As you can see, I have been crocheting again.  I'm hopeful that the worst heat of the summer is over now so it's more comfortable to take up wool and hook once more.  These are some of the leaves I have been making.  I'm not quite decided what to make them into.  Possibly another waistcoat, or else a scarf.  I have used several different colours, and each one is slightly different - I did start off trying to follow a set pattern but after all, did you ever see two leaves the same?  So I just did them slightly different lengths and shapes as I felt inclined.  Still waiting to fix my website links but I'm not too bothered as the site itself is up, and if you can't get to the order form, just send me an email by clicking on the email link and I will send you an order form by email.  If you haven't seen it yet, it is at www.christinelinton.com.au .

My website

At www.christinelinton.com.au you will find my new website.  A few problems with links at the moment, as my thumbnail pictures don't link to their larger counterparts, and a couple of other links, but overall I am pleased with it.  The link problems will soon be fixed (my son is the computer whiz, I'm afraid the web server pages are clear as mud to me) and that will be great, but anyway it will get there in the end.

 

This fishing rod bag is one of the free patterns on my website.  I made it from an old pair of jeans but you could certainly use new denim.  It doesn't take long to make but you need to put a heavy needle in your sewing machine, and if you have a walking foot that makes it a bit easier as sewing over denim seams can be hard going.  If you would like to make hubby's fishing rod a cover, you can print the pattern off from the website.

The heat ...

Too hot for crochet, sewing or any other craft in South Australia right now - in fact too hot to think much even!
