Photos and UFOs

Okey dokey, here we have my lovely comfy new slippers (and extraordinarily sexy ankles) and me in the bolero and the witchlet in her bolero that I made her - although I think she is wearing it upside down. My newfound confidence after the completion of the Blanket from Hell project has made me feel a lot more confident about a UFO that has been ongoing for about 12 months. I subscribed to the Art of Knittin magazine, which supplys you with a 25 g ball of yarn and instructions to knit a square with the view to the finished squares being made into a blanket. Now, I've been happily knitting the squares and then placing them into my UFO box (yes, I need a box) to deal with "some other time". Last night, I dug them out and crocheted around about 20 of them in preparation for crocheting them together. I have about 50 left to do, and about 15 squares to knit, cos I'm a little behind. I think I've done my shoulder after the excessive knitathon last week, so I can give it a bit of a rest and do some crocheting instead. I'm no master as far as crochet is concerned, but we'll see how it goes. On the left - the squares I've done. On the right - the to do pile! The good thing is that there is a heap of yarn left over from each square - I might be able to use it all to make more squares for another blanket for charity!
