Sewing projects

As well as knitting, I have always wanted to learn to sew items. My mother virtually made all my clothes when i was a child and i would really like to be able to make dresses, for myself and the grandchildren and also dolls clothes
I have a lovely sewing machine but am always too scared to actually start making something.
When I am in the Uk next time I think I will buy some patterns and fabric and start with soemthing small
If anyone out there is reading this, some help or advice would be appreciated.

Recycled Sari Yarn

I have just received my new batch of recycled sari yarn.
as we are decorating the house throughout, i have decided to knit the curtains, this sounds like a large project and i am sure that it is but i would just like to do it.

First post

I keep intending to write a blog every day about knitting and crotcheting, but never manage it!
so this time I really will keep it going
so here is a pair of lovely grey wrist warmers that i knitted, having previously dyed the yarn
