Happy New Year

A new year and a fresh resolve to blog about my crafty exploits.  I made a lot of stuff in 2014 which I failed to document here or on Ravelry.  I guess it takes up valuable crafting time but it is also good to be able to look back.




The numbers on the bunting are from the fantastic Moogly website http://www.mooglyblog.com/the-moogly-crochet-numbers/  Made with Stylecraft special double knit in teal.  The bunting itself is made with chunky stylecraft special.  I started ad the bottom of each flag and then just increased every other row until they were big enough.  I then did a double crochet (sc uk) edging. The edging is a bit random and not very tidy but I quite like it that way (really).  I joined it all by double crocheting along the top (chaining 30 or so for the side bits to tie it up).  It was just a quick New Year make so I didn't want to spend a lot of time on it.  Next year I will update the "5"!
