Recently, I have been sucked back into frantic crocheting. First a simple idea, then becoming obsessional. I guess that's just how it works with me.

Here are two of the Idea Holders that I made for a project:

This is my first attempt at making a piece of clothing:

And here is a box:

3)Is the entire box crocheted on the inside or just the lid?

It is just the top of the box that is crocheted. The rest of it is made from a bed sheet and filled with stuffing. I was thinking about new ways to display my work on my course so i thought a fabric plynth/box could be interesting. My friend thinks the idea holders look like orangutans. Haha.

You have a fun creative style! LOVE the cardigan!Is that your design? The little idea holders are really cute too! I like their pointy heads!

Yeah it is my design. I've never made a cardigan before, so I just compared the shapes to a jersy cardigan I have so it would fit properly. I'll need to go visit my granny to show her, she taught me how to crochet when I was around 9.
