Crochet book cover Link

I made these two book covers for my two craft group Kris Kringle this year. I made them up as I went, I hope the person how gets one likes it. The note book inside is a5 and has 200 pages, I made it so that you can change the book inside when needed.

Scarf

While in Adelaide last week I found this yarn in lincraft, I was happy with a scarf but I found a photo of a bag made out of this yarn so I am planning to unravel it and make a bag with wooden handles. 

Scarf

I was given this yarn form a friend who attended the craft fair in Adelaide,It is a bit strange but knits up very fast . I gave one to Nicole our daughter in law for her to use next winter.  

Crochet Doily

I was given some lovely crochet cotton from Japan. Sharon a friend from quilting visited japan for a 12 day tour . she visited a quilt exhibition and learnt different crafts like Sashiko and indigo dyeing. 

 I am making Sharon a doily out of a ball of the cotton she brought me. I hope she likes it.I like how the variegated blue and white is forming around the doily.
