Yoga for Hands and Wrists

I've just got into doing a bit of Yoga. I'm only really doing it get a bit of strength and flexibility back from when I was a dancer. I'm actually really enjoying doing it.

The reason I'm posting about yoga on here is because I did a wrist and hand yoga session which I thought would be good for those who do a lot of intricate/repetitive things with their hands and wrists such as crafting, crochet, knitting et cetera.

I came across this whilst doing a 30day free Yoga course which is Here. The session for the hands and wrists can be found Here. It's just a 15 minute session and most of it can be done sitting down.


Charity Square Update

 A quick update on my charity squares. I've just finished my second square. It's the same pattern as the first crochet square I made, however this one uses back loop stitches only where as for the first one I used front loop stitches only. I also ran out of the green yarn I was using so I made a border with scrap grey yarn to make the square the right size. Find the pattern I used and the first crochet square I made Here for comparison.



In the top left corner of the square is a 'butterfly' this is just a length of the tail (approx. 50cm) so that the square can be sewn to other squares. It's tied up with scrap red yarn to make it obvious.

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...

Hamster DIY - Suspended Crochet Bridge

To make this bridge I used all natural Jute string a 5.5mm crochet hook. I made the stitches  VERY  tight so that Tims little paws wouldn't get stuck in any gaps, this took quite a bit of effort as the Jute string is very stiff.  SC- Single Crochet Chain 14  (or as many needed to made the bridge wide enough)  Row 1: SC in each chain along, turn Row 2 - 35: SC in each stitch along, turn (add or decrease the amount of rows to create a longer or shorter bridge) Finish off.  Tie a length of string to each corner of the piece to make supports and hang securely in the cage. To make the supports stronger I used two pieces of string in each corner and tied the pieces together all the way along.  Safety! Only use materials that are safe for a hamster. Make sure there are NO gaps for little feet to get caught in. Don't hang the bridge too high from the ground and make sure there is lots of soft bedding beneath the bridge in...
