Inside Crochet 37 ::
The day we set off on our Christmas adventures (we managed a total of four christmas's all in!) this lovely arrived on my doormat to accompany on the many train journey's that lay ahead.
Issue 37 of Inside Crochet. I love this issue, with so many great patterns within and as always fabulous photography, styling and a most beautiful model indeed.
I have two patterns in this issue, both men's, both chunky.
This cable centred raglan sweater, worked in one piece bottom up. This is a great project, because it's simple enough to be quick, chunky enough to be super quick, but with just enough detail to not be too boring.
And this scarf, again the chunky yarn makes this a super quick project.
Unfortunately I left my copy somewhere during the christmas rush around (we returned from our adventures with 9 bags of gifts, there are few occasions where I'd admit that not being able to drive is an inconvenience but carrying those bags on over crowded post christmas trains was certainly one of the few!). But I'm hoping to be reunited with it soon, when I have no doubt there'll be a few projects jumping on my hooks.

Notes from the pattern ::
A simple chain necklace can become a great statement piece when worked in a fun, chunky yarn on a big scale. A quick project, perfect for beginners.
One 100g ball is enough for one necklace, though you could use more for a longer necklace if you wanted to.
Any similar super chunky yarn would also work, or any yarn of any size could be used in this project, though the resulting size would obviously vary accordingly.

Photo A Day :: Jan Day 1 :: Today
I've often considered joining along with FatMumSlim's photo a day prompts over on Instagram, so as the new year begins it seems the perfect opportunity to jump on board and join in.
Today :: it's a cliche I know but today is full of making plans and writing dreams (oh and a tiny bit more celebrating).

knitting stitch markers and a cyber monday special ::
Good morning, I just wanted to show off some new stitch markers I added to my shop over the weekend. I've been meaning to make these for such a long time, I've been using my own personal set of ninja stitch markers for well over a year now. I finally added them to the shop a couple of weeks ago and they've proven very popular, so I thought I'd make up some different variations.
You can now get yourself a set of ninjas in any colour you like! The options are on the listing page, if you can't see the colour you want, shoot me a message, I'm sure it's possible, as are any mixed combinations of colours. Such as the rainbow set I have available.
If you've got a sweet tooth, I now also have loveheart and jelly baby markers available too!
You can choose any 6 slogans from my long list for the lovehearts.
Great gift ideas for knitting friends or family, or more importantly yourself ;)
Plus until midnight tonight I have 30% off with the coupon code BLACKFRI12
Happy 'Cyber' Monday.
