...you may remember there was a duplicate block in the miniature B-O-T-M patterns and while we are waiting for it to be sorted I thought I would use a couple of the blocks .. for something else xx
It was quilt group in Congleton last night ... it was try something new night .. and we decorated bags with stencils..
.....not necessarily my best effort .. but it is going to be OK to keep in my shopping bag as an "extra" ... esp. as the supermarkets will stop giving away free bags in a couple of weeks
You may remember that my friend is going to be 50 later this year .. WELL.. I have been thinking of "special" presents for this BIG birthday... she LOVES pink and sparkly .. so I thought I would knit her something with that sort of wool.... just like fabric .. you get what you pay for .. so before I use the "GOOD" stuff I decided to have a practice run ... you know me I do that with my fabric projects just the same xx
NOW...
I have made my first ever shawl , and I am VERY proud of myself lol x It is blocking and drying at the moment. I learned some "new stuff" with this one .. including how to do a TAB cast-on and a purl 2 tog cast off .. so I'm glad I had a practice first.
NOW to wind the sparkly stuff into a ball and ... away to go xx.. watch this space x
Hope your weather is dryer than ours right now xx.... off to look at wallpaper.. wish me luck !!
