Onwards...

Yeah! Big celebrations here today as my final samples all passed and I got a new job. I was really pleased as this means only 3 projects and the written element to complete.
So onto the projects. I was initially very keen on the Tunisian Sunset blanket by Poppy and Bliss. It would cover the Tunisian element and the household object. Unfortunately my joining technique was not really very good...well good enough for home but not good enough for my assessors eyes!

My joining did get better and I realised where I wss going wrong however.... I had spent so long on it I could not bring myself to frog it. Hence it won't be submitted  but will find a home on the end of the spare bed. 

I also toyed with a filet crochet table runner. I'm not a lace fan as you probably know but thought a Christmassy runner would be perfect gor the lunch table. I found a lovely book with some modern designs and started. 

The pattern suggested size 10 cotton and a 1.65mm hook. Unfortunately I don't own a 1.65mm so used a 1.75mm. In books and on the web good filet always looks quite solid with trebles packed closely together. I like this look. My filet never seems to be like this, it is gappy and has a more loose look. So I've started the runner and I'm not really very happy.  

See what I mean? So it's back to the drawing board for me and if you need me I'll be here frogging the day away!
