Friday FOs - 12.05.2023

I have finished a couple more objects and thought I had better show them off, so here they are. 

Bottle cosy based on the flag of The Salvation Army


I finished this bottle cosy a couple of weeks ago but was a bit slack with posting. I made this one because Simeon's thought it wrong for a Christian to have a rainbow coloured bottle cosy. 

Comfort Bear No. 6 for this year. 

It is taking me a bit longer to make these. I used to make one a week but it now takes me 3 or 4 weeks to make one. 

That's all I have for now. I'm thinking about quitting blogspot and just posting on Facebook and Instagram as I seem to get more response on those forums. 

Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 14.04.2023

I've been struggling to get things finished lately but I have managed to finish two more bears, and here they are. 

Comfort bear No. 4 for this year

Comfort bear No. 5 for this year

Number 4 was finished a few weeks ago but I've only just got around to posting it. Number 5 was finished this week. 

That's all I have for now. Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 03-03-2023

Here we are at the beginning of March and I've only finished 3 bears. These have actually been finished for a while but I've been quite slack with posting. 

Comfort Bear No. 2 for this year

Comfort Bear No. 3 for this year

I can't promise that the next bear will be finished any time soon or that I will post a picture soon after it is but I will post again sometime. 

That's all for now. Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 06.01.2023

Is the first Friday of the new year and I have a couple of objects to show you. One that was finished last year and one finished this year. Here they are. 

Comfort Bear No. 12 for last year. 

This is the 12th and final Bear for last year. I was well down on my usual tally due to taking my time and only spending a couple of hours each week working on them. I hope to do a little better this year but still don't expect to finish one a week as I have done in previous years. 


Comfort Bear No. 1 for this year

My first Bear for this year. I hope to be able to finish a Bear every couple of weeks but I'm not going to promise anything as I have quite a few projects on the go. 

That's all from me for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 18.11.2022

I've been a bit slack posting my photos here so I thought it was about time I got caught up. 

Comfort Bear No 10 for this year 

I finished this one about 6 weeks ago. 

Comfort Bear No 11 for this year 

This one was finished 3 weeks ago.

This was finished this week and will be for sale at a craft fair tomorrow. 

Wash Cloth side 1

Wash Cloth side 2

This Wash cloth, done in double ended tunisian crochet, will also be for sale tomorrow. 

Wash Cloth

Another Wash cloth, done in linen stitch, to be put up for sale tomorrow. 

That's all I have for now. Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 30.09.2022

My crochet progress has been quite slow lately, mainly because I have been busy moving out of the house into the caravan. It has been quite a difficult task trying to fit so much stuff into such a small space. My yarn collection alone has been problematic. I have managed to finish a few objects but didn't manage to take photos of all of them. I forgot about the Bear I finished this week so it will have to wait until later. 

Here are my other finished objects. 

A Grey Bunny

The Arts, Crafts and Activities Group that I'm part of is having a craft fair in November and asked me if I had anything to sell. Unfortunately, I have away all my stock as I haven't been to markets since covid lockdown started even though the restrictions have been lifted for some time. This bunny will be added to the items that somehow didn't get given away and all will be for sale at the great fair. 


Wash Cloth

I figured I could make some of these and offer them for sale at the craft fair also. If I don't sell them I can make use of them myself. 

I'll try to find the Bear and photograph it before next Friday. 

That's all from me for now. Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 02.09.2022

I'm trying to get some things finished so that I have something to post about most weeks, especially since I have slowed down on my Bear production. Here is this week's finished object. 

A Cotton Beanie to wear under my Santa wig. 

The view of the bank of my head wearing the beanie. 

I decided to make this because the wig I have to wear while dressed up as Santa irritates my scalp. 

That's all I have for this week. Until next time, have a good one.
