Crochet & Knitting

The big cleanout has stopped for the moment whilst I use up some yarns. I had a couple of balls cotton yarns so I crocheted a pile of dishcloths. There was about a dozen altogether. These are wonderful to use and last for years.

I also had a pile of handspun singles yarns so I put them together and made up some easy knitted scarves on big needles. They were perfect carry around projects for when ds6 had his swimming lessons.

The two on the left are knitted and the two on the right are crocheted. The two on the right are beautiful shades of purples but that hasn't shown up in the photos. The blue knitted scarf has sparkes that also hasn't shown up.

And this is some pure mohair yarn I bought a few years ago and hadn't a clue what to do with it. I unskeined it and wound it into balls and then started a crocheted shawl, but it's really not looking too nice, so I will be undoing it and making something else. It's lovely soft yarn and very pretty purple/lavender shades, but I really have no idea what to do with it as yet.
