More projects from March

March was the month I crocheted more projects than I did in the entire last year. This adding to the spa set,  I crocheted one small grey neck warmer using mohair and a full size red blanket 100% wool.  It is nicely warm and light weight.  I didn't use any pattern.

For this neck warmer I crocheted a tube and folded over so it's double making it very warm.

Spa Set

March projects 

I crocheted a pink spa set with 100% cotton, this is fast and easy and the small soap bags are so handy to hang to dry out the soap.  I didn't use any pattern.

Hand made hackle

This is my hand made hackle, pretty easy to make with a plank of hard wood floor leftover and 74 nails, drill all the holes a tad tight then push the nails in.  It is 21" long including 1" 1/2 each side free to get enough space for the grips to hold it safely.  It works great.

Rovings

I like roving, here is some I got in my stash waiting for my attention, it's all merino superwash some I did with  my hackle, still have to finish a blanket before starting to spin.

Neck Warmer

Just finished this neck warmer, with a mix of merino, cashmere and angora, no pattern as I was just playing around with leftovers from a pullover.

My knitting needles/Mes broches à tricoter

These are my favorites knitting needles.
 The set is from Knitters Pride "Dreamz" circulars interchangeable made of laminated birch, they are great.  Each size is color coded from 3.5mm to 6.0mm or US 4 to 10.
with cords from 40cm/16" up to 150cm/60" plus connectors that can even make any lenght I really need.

The other 2 metallic ones on top are my favorites for socks knitting, they are fix circulars Addi Turbo, the best ever needles, quite expensive but they really worth it.
