The Missing Crochet and Lily's Sugar 'n Cream Yarn Review

Hey!!
So, it was last Sunday, and I couldn't find my amigurumi anywhere! I looked everywhere and I couldn't find it anywhere!!!! To this day I still haven't found it! So anyway I really luckily got new yarn to restart my amigurumi dragon and I chose Lily's Sugar 'n Cream The Original in Robin's Egg. It is the most beautiful colour and it works up like a dream! It doesn't split easily at all and it is 100% cotton so it is really soft!Here is a pic:

Just thought I would mention that I did use the app Photo Editor- by Axiem Systems to edit this photo. Anyway, have a good rest of the day and keep checking my blog as I will be posting a What's in my sketchbook? post soon!

Just updates......

Hello!
I do want to say a quick sorry for not posting in ages! Before the anniversary post I hadn't posted in ages so I'm sorry! But I have been getting creative........

I've started a new project! Obviously I haven't yet finished my blanket but I wanted a change from just crocheting granny squares! I decided to finally try amigurumi (yes, you heard it right) and I really like it. It isn't all that different: all you have to remember is not to chain at the beginning of a row and you are all set! The pattern I am using is from All About Ami and here is a picture of her finished dragon that I found on her blog and am making thanks to her great pattern!


He is so cute! You can find the free pattern here. I am making him with a 3.5 mm hook because my yarn is thicker than what is suggested. I will keep on updating you on how it is going!

My First Blog Anniversary!!!!!!!

Hello!
This is such a big day for me!This is the same day I posted my very first post last year on my old blog, http://libbywhittingham.blog.com! Here is where I have come from that day!

The day I started my blog on blog.com I had NO IDEA what I was doing! I fast got used to it, and started playing around with the design of my blog. I was getting quite bored with the limits of blog.com though... I couldn't customise my design, only use templates, and I really wanted to find out how many of you guys had visited my blog and which kind of posts work. I had a look at a few options and decided to move to blogger! I have almost spent 11 months on blogger now, and I have had over 700 page views! That means a LOT to me so thank you guys!!!!! I know you've got a lot (hopefully) of good times to come!

Libby :-)
