Miles's Starghan now a FO!!!

Someone really likes their starghan...he wouldnt let me take any more photos of it, cos he wanted it. He now has it packed into his little Wiggles backpack ready to take to kindy tomorrow. He really loves the size of the ghan, I would have liked to have made it bigger, but he really wanted it.




Here is Miles hugging his starghan, after he folded it up and told me I couldnt take any more photos of it. He is really happy, and that is all that I care about. (^_^)

Starghan Progress

Progress report - Starghan

I thought that I would post a little progress report on the Starghan that I am working on at the moment for Miles. Curently I am now working with black yarn, and was lucky enough to find another ball of black this morning, so I will continue with the black to the desired length. Miles choose the colour for it, and it is working out nicely. The orange really stands out against the black.

It is now 23 inches in length, from point to V (between points). So far, I have 3 rounds of black completed. I will use the remaining black yarn and then add the other black skein of yarn to it. I am hoping that it will be about 35 inches, but I will have to wait and see what size would be suitable for Miles.

Some photos of my projects

Starghan for Miles. Here is my progress so far on the starghan for Miles. It is coming along so quickly, and is so easy to follow. I am using Baby Starghan by Beth Espina-Cole. It is a free pattern too! I am almost finished all the orange yarn that I had, so I will go stash diving to find another colour to go with the orange. I was thinking maybe black and white, like Nemo! But I will see what Miles would like for his starghan. He loves it already, and can't wait to have it.


Lace wrap, photos of it finally!!! I havent blocked it yet, but I will try and get to that this weekend. But here a few photos of the lace wrap, as well as, close ups of the butterfly and the front post stitch and back post stitch in the shells. Also, the back of the wrap.


I am planning on working on the starghan tonight for awhile, and then maybe something else. I am not sure yet, as I am still thinking about the other projects I want to make and finish this month.

Secret Mission - Starghan

I have decided to make Miles a Starghan. He loves bright colours and a particular orange that I have. So I have started on the orange yarn for the inside of the starghan. I will work out what other colours to add to it, when I get there. So far this morning, I have completed 5.5 rounds! It is lookin good so far. If I have time tonight, I will work on it too, and Hopefully have it all finished for him by tomorrow, when I collect him from Kindy.

I am hoping to make a few more of these ones once I have finished, as I want to make one of Almaaz (my cousin's son) and one for the new baby (William). I might end up making a few smaller ones for Miles to play with his teddies and other stuffed animals, and maybe a couple for the car. This all depends on how many and how long it takes me to loose interest in making them, and how much time I have to do them.

I cannot help but to keep adding to my list of projects that I want to do. The month of June has been a busy month for me, craftwise, as I have learnt to knit, and completed a few knit projects and crochet projects. I have to get blocking soon, but I hate it so much. I will go and do the blocking on the weekend, as I have a very large box that would be suitable for blocking the lace wrap I have finished, and I will get Jumpei to help me if I need to get it cut or anything like that.

Wow the town emergency siren is sounding!!!! There must be another accident somewhere around here, so I am sure that the police, ambulance and the local firebrigade will be heading out somewhere. Boy oh boy it has been a busy 2 weeks for emergency services around here.
