Love my fibre crafts!

Hello followers!
So good to see you here. I've been busy as usual - working in my day job (M-F) and working on my fibre crafts in my free moments.

This past week I've been working on a couple of crochet projects. It's a birthday present for a very special person who pretty much has everything. I also made some mandarin infused vinegar and put into a glass jar. It is a a great multi purpose product, but I love to use it for cleaning. I'm planning on giving this to one of my sisters (the birthday person) also. I hope she likes it.

Vinegar seeped with mandarin <3

In a clean glass jar, I placed the peel of 4 mandarins. Then I topped the jar with white vinegar. I replaced the lid and placed in dark cupboard to seep. Three weeks later and it is a very lovely result. It is vinegar, but heavily scented with mandarin. I strained the seeped vinegar through my tea strainer directly into a new smaller glass jar. The result is pictured above.

I took a picture of the first crocheted piece. It is a circular dishcloth. I have made a number of knitted dishcloths and found them to be quite brilliant with cleaning, from pots and pans to delicate china. I thought crochet would give the dishcloth a more decorative look, almost like a doily.

First crocheted dishcloth as a work in
progress (WIP). I am very pleased with
the result. I hope my sister likes it!! 

I decided to crochet a second dishcloth but this time in two toned cotton - both off-white to cream. 

I alternated the tones several times. 

This is the two toned crocheted dishcloth. I am very pleased with the result.
I would love to hear what you think. Would you like to see other colours?
What would be your preferences?

I hope you enjoyed my blog for this week. I have enjoyed recounting what I've managed to do. 

Until next time, stay happy and healthy and be kind. 

Thanks for stopping by. :)
