Crochet Washcloths, so hip!!

Hello!

We are starting two weeks of school holidays here, so looking forward to a break in our usual routines, hopefully we will have a lot of fun days, relaxing doing what we like. 

This morning I sat down and weaved all the ends in on my little washcloths.  It was time for some photos!  So here they are, humble washcloths, little woollie style!

A couple of these have already found a new home, far away across the ocean, how exciting!

**Thanks to my very obliging helpers here, a little glimpse *behind the scenes* at our headquarters. :)  

(Although it turned into a bit of a tug of war with washcloths flapping around all over the place very soon after this was taken:) )

Anyway, I am pretty happy with how these turned out, very easy, and I think a cute present with some nice soap or something like that.  A good start to my Handmade Christmas effort. 

What have you been up to this weekend?

Had some fun times?

(ps. A few lovely people were wondering how to to the dotty pattern, I will try and clean up my scribbles and post a photo of the dot graph for the tapestry crochet technique:) )

Edited to add:  I now have a pattern available for these washcloths as well as the hearts and clouds ones. If you are interested they are for sale on Ravelry over here!

Made by Hand - dotting on

Joining in with crafty types over on Christina's blog for Made by Hand today.

So I am still a bit obsessed with the tapestry crochet technique.  I have been making more wash cloths, playing around with pattern and colour, doing a bit of polka dotting along the way.  I am going to do a little tadah post soon, because they are looking so cute all together with their different patterns and colours.  I finish one, then have to start another because there are so many colour combos to try out!

What have you been making?

How are you all going at the moment, organised for Christmas? starting to panic a bit? 

It is all systems go here, I've spent today shopping and have broken the back of my list, and I've ordered the pork for lunch.  We got through our busy weekend, and had a lovely social time in the process and now the end is is sight!!

So I hope you all have a wonderful time this Christmas with family and friends, good food and laughter, and generally just a lovely merry time!!  And I hope there are no fights, I know this stressful time of year can push relationships, so let's just relax and be nice to each other and let go of the little things!

I probably won't get to post again till after Christmas, the boys finish school in a couple of days and will be dominating computer time, so have a great day!!

PS I am really enjoying my advent swap pressies, I have been very spoilt, so Vickie thank you so much!

Slack me though, haven't taken any pictures, will try and do a big group shot at the end.

See ya !
