a gathering together

I’m gathering together some crochet projects to take on our holiday coming up… 

Firstly there’s the aqua top I’m working on for Zoe which will be for immediate use,

and I’ve got this yarn (sorry- not a great photo)

for this jumper for Ben.

Got plenty of time til he needs a jumper, so that’s all good.

Which I must admit looks kind of tricky (the textured pattern on the front may take some practise).  But I crocheted up the gauge swatch and learnt a new stitch- and it’s my new favourite stitch!  It’s called Extended Single Crochet.  The fun continues…

And what about this fingerless glove pattern for Zoe?  Also got a few months up my sleeve here…
