我的上一篇帖子是在8月份?好悲伤。不好的。一点也不好。并不是说我在过去的四个月里很懒惰，远远不是这样，而是我在发布关于我的狡猾活动的帖子时很懒惰。My bad. I’m going to do few catch-up posts to share what I’ve been up to craft-wise while I’ve been failing to blog, so this is part 1 ofn，其中n很可能是4或5，因为我的一些项目确实值得自己的职位。

首先，我还在努力六边形项目- 以及所有我收到的漂亮hexies，我在做一堆我自己的过程，它是在一个晚上的电视前放松的好地方活动。下面是一些我从我的交换伙伴收到hexies，加上在许多情况下，奖金面料：

可爱的,不是吗?一旦我翻遍了奖金布料(有些人，老天保佑，也送了奖金模板!)，我就从自己的藏宝箱里剪出一堆乱七八糟的方块，“用完”我打印和裁剪出来的多余模板。I’ve got over 300 hexies finished now, and the number’s set to grow before I’m “done”. I have a sneaking suspicion that I could end up with a squares/templates arms race if I’m not careful. But it’s safe to say that I’ve really been bitten by the EPP bug now, as I’ll demonstrate soon with a project I am really proud of.

然而，这个夏天工艺方面的大新闻是我的第二个委托项目完成了，蓝钻石。

It was great to see it finished and in its new home. I finished it while sitting on dogs in Dorset (all those points means a批量结合手工缝制）的，然后交付它的人途中回到威尔士（侧前往被子的伯明翰节，有一天是不足够的这个节目！）。

这位女士我做的确实起草自己的很多被子和好心给我的蓝色和白色织物的某些位为我的藏匿那些已经切成（而近似）的正方形。在“传递下去”的主题，我决定用她给我的面料，加上我自己藏匿了一点，来弥补一点点被子顶捐赠给谁的项目莱纳斯工作的朋友：

In a brief departure from quilting, I was seduced by a beautiful, untouched skein of a merino/silk blend yarn that I saw in a local charity shop for the comparatively bargain price of £3 (I looked up the yarn later online – it’s usually about three times that!). The colour scheme was blues and greens and the yarn itself felt lovely and luxurious. I do like yarn, but as a non-knitter I don’t often buy it because the nice stuff is usually expensive for an amateur like me to mangle. Most of my previous efforts with yarn have ended in tears and swearing. However, one skein seemed not too intimidating and I can use a crochet hook a bit, so I took it home with me and googled free crochet scarf patterns. Happily, I quickly stumbled across a pattern for yarn that broadly resembled mine in appearance and weight and was also pretty straightforward for a novice hooker, the飞天扫帚花边无限围巾。曾是一个无限大的围巾加分（对我戴着围巾的一大障碍是处理结束）和几乎只需要一针。我找到了一个合适的钩针，压木榫钉的长度短了入服务，我的“扫帚”，并设置为！

经过了几个晚上的耐心挂线(还有一个晚上，我解开了因为在开始纺纱前忘记把纱线弄成球状而弄得一团糟的纱线)，我为自己买了一条可爱的新围巾。我非常喜欢它，穿起来真的很好看。我把我的围巾做得更长了一点，因为我的纱线看起来比教程中使用的更好，我认为我还应该把它做得更宽一些。还剩不到一半的绞纱，所以我在考虑是否能想出办法把它粘在一起，让围巾宽一些。

So here’s a start, I’m off to hunt down supper and write up some more project posts to share. Expect part 2 ofn很快!
