Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year!
Ok, so quick intro - I'm Kerry, mum to Tom (10) and Lottie (5), married for 12 years to Andy, part time administrator for a small company which I love. I have a passion for cross stitch, blackwork , crochet (if only I was better at it), the colour green, motorsport, giraffes and creative prayer.

Most of my 2016 WIPs are in this post but there were 2 I'd forgotten. One was the RAKs that are due to be done by March I think. I've done one, started a second so that leaves 3 to do completely. The other was the granny square swap blanket that needs 2 more squares crocheted and then making up into a blanket. These are the squares so far
I crocheted the same square twice so I could keep one and mine are on the right.
I have been making progress with the winter swap and I've finally finished the top of the biscornu. It's taken me forever. I'm planning on finding fabric and a chart for the bottom this afternoon. I know what I want it to be so its just a case of finding a chart the right size. Here's a sneaky peek of the corner.
Oh yes blanket progress pic...
As you can see there are lots of ends to sew in too.
My last project is the Scandi heart. There has been a tiny bit of progress on it and it will be finished and framed by next Saturday as I'm meeting its recipient for coffee and cake. It's been a good 6 months in the UFO pile as I've not seen my friend for that long. I'm sure the older you get, the faster time passes.
Anyhoo...before
And now...
And now it's time to get some actual stitching done whilst Lot watches the CBeebies panto's for the umpteenth time.
Lovely that you are sharing. I think your crocheting looks lovely. I too enjoy crochet and I am currently finishing up a blanket for my hubby.
