Daleks

I've had a proper geeky few weeks. Not only have I been crocheting another Dalek as requested but whilst doing this I've been watching original Dr Who (yes I prefer the original to the new Dr Who, I used to watch it as a kid). Additionally I went to see this Dalek made out of hey at Snugburys ice cream shop near Nantwich. The Dalek even moves and says exterminate. This was also a great excuse to get Snugburys awesome ice cream!

Please note this picture was taken weeks ago....the UK is now cloudy, dull and rainy...as per usual. 

The second crochet Dalek took me a very long time to make not helped by going away to Germany with work and having no time to finish it. But at last it is finished! I don't think this Dalek is much different to the first Dalek I made but compare for yourselves and find a link to the free pattern Here. I wouldn't try this pattern if your new to crocheting it is quite tricky in parts. 




Now that I've finally finished the Dalek I can get onto making Christmas gifts. Hurry hurry. 





Enjoy this post?

Crochet Waistcoat (with link to free pattern)

I love waistcoats and have spent a lot of time looking for a crochet waitcoat pattern that I actually like. When came across one that I would actually wear I added it straight to my to do list! I think it is quite smart and simple looking (just the way I like things). Here it is: This is the first piece of clothing that I have made and I really like the way it has turned out. The patterns is well written and easy to follow, however I did have to keep trying the waistcoat on as I was making it because I have a very small build and most 'normal' sized clothes do not fit me. After making a few adjustments to the pattern the waistcoat fits perfectly. It is so comfortable and looks great over a shirt, I have had a few compliments whilst wearing it so overall a great make. The pattern is quite simple as far as clothes patterns go, it took me about two days to make, I probably could have done it in one day if I had the time. Find the pattern  Here .

Crochet Sorting Hat

A very Harry Potter obsessed friend wanted me to make her a Sorting hat. It was pretty good timing to be honest as I am currently re-reading the Harry Potter books at the minute, I read them when they first came out and had the urge to re-read. I do however need to get my hands on the films just so I can compare the books to the film just for my own interest. I've never really been interested in the films. Here is the finished product: The pattern (below for link) I used is ace and really easy to follow however when I made it the first time it was way too small. At the end of the pattern it says to add extra rounds and increases until the hat fits. If I had have done this the face would have been a really small face right at the top of the hat that would just have looked utterly wrong. I used chunky yarn as suggested in the pattern however I did not have the size hook that was suggested so I used the size down but made loose stitches. Anyway, as I said, it turned out sma...
