This week has been very exciting for me, very exciting and very busy.  Firstly I received my first ever commission from my Etsy shop and secondly I have been beavering away making lots of things for my craft stall at the Pudding Cup Art Market .   I don't know if you remember this post  here  where I made myself a crochet hot water bottle cover?   Well I put a picture of it in my Etsy shop and last weekend I received a request for a custom order of 4 covers.  I must say I was both excited and terrified at the same time, (excited to receive my first order but a little worried how well they would be received...).  I think I tend to be a little over critical about my work. The colours for the hot water bottle covers were chosen by my customer from the Woolcraft DK range.  Luckily I had all the colours she requested so could get started right away. The covers incorporate the beautiful  Sunburst Granny Square  ...

 Some lovely ladies over at Ravelry have been kindly testing my  Sock Yarn Bauble s pattern.  I would just like to thank them all, for the time and effort they have put into this.   If you are interested in taking part in some pattern testing head on over to this  group .  Designers can showcase their new patterns and have them tested and  as a reward the testers get to try out new patterns before they are published free of charge. I am very excited to share with you some photos of the baubles made with my pattern. This one is lovely and bright.  Sock yarn is always a delight to work with as you watch the colours change as you crochet... I love the sparkly yarn used in these two.  Anything with a bit of glitter or sparkle always gives me that "it's nearly Christmas" feeling. The variegation in this one is very pretty... and lastly another sparkly bauble in traditional red gold and green. Thank ...
