I finished this skirt a while ago, but I hadn't got round to photographing it. The fabric was from spotlight and the skirt pattern is from Weekend Sewing, by Heather Ross. I like the pattern, but would make the ties longer next time. I also added a button to hold it all together when I wear it. I dont trust wrap arround skirts. No one needs to see my knickers. So here it is. Better late than never!
When March arrived and I hadn't made a single beanie for the beanie festival, I had pretty much decided that I was not going to send any this year. Then my swing tags arrived. Needless to say, 2 and a bit months later, with slightly sore hands and hardly any UFO's completed, 10 crocheted beanies were completed. I am pleased with my beanies. I tried to make them fun and funky.
Here they are...

I posted them off to Alice Springs. I hope someone likes them enough to buy them.
A few weeks ago mum and I went to the op shop. This is what I found. The red t-shirt I plan to cut up to make yarn and turn into some new dish cloths. The Bendigo wool was only $1.99. Bargain!
Total spend $9.95. Awesome!
Another late post for the 2013 UFO challenge and another poor effort for the month. I still have been madly working on beanies to send to the beanie festival. I have one more to complete. My UFO finish for the month didn't even get photographed. This month I finished the chair covers for school.
The March project summary:
UFO's completed: 1/2.
New projects started - beanies, beanies and more beanies.
Total projects completed - 6 1/2, 1/2 a UFO and 6 beanies.
I am glad that I have made the effort to make beanies to sent to the beanie festive, but I am looking forward to working on something else when I finish the last one.
