    Another baby hat made. Blanket started. I am getting down to odd colours and dull colours in the stash now. I may have to buy some wool to go with these to use them up.
     I have had my wool box and my fabric box out tonight, there is space in both!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plenty of sewing UFO's when this charity knitting finally ends. The lady should have gone to Africa in December but for obvious reasons hasn't been able to go yet. I will keep making until she goes.

    It looks beautiful wraithlady, wonderful colour combination!
    I have another make to declare- the shirt of doom has been finished! Too much swearing was involved, and it's a good job I don't have any "handmade with love" labels as it was made with anything but love 🤦‍♀️ it does however look lovely, and I'm sure will be appreciated. I will leave that pattern alone for a while, I think. Now at 18/75. Hopefully tomorrow I will get the t shirt hemmed tomorrow, and then another UFO done.

    Congratulations Chloe. 

    The blanket is amazing. I would love to be able to knit / crochet. 

    I’ve treated myself to a fluffy blanket as I’m locked in. I have justified this as it save me a bomb on heating. 🤣🤣

    I’ve used up one panel. Two slabs of wadding and some backing 

    so 65 / 250. 

    I’ve not seen the quit yet. But I have pinned the thing together. 😊😊

    hope you’re all well. Xxxxx

  • Well done everyone! We've no new makes to report as of yet but we have started thoroughly sorting through the craft room and associated stash so its starting to look a lot neater! It has to got to the point that we just had started putting random things anywhere with no time to put them away so hoping to make everything a bit more accessible and if we won't use it it has to go!

    Wraithlady,Thank you for the crochet edging pattern. I will have a go. I saw a "virus" pattern on pinterest but just couldn't get to grips with the tutorial. The blankets and shawls were beautiful though.
     Another blanket finished. My shoulder hurts so I will have a rest from knitting and crochet for a while.
     I have started to renovate an old chair. I have all the materials needed to make a new seat in my stash.
     Fluffy butts have now gone to rabbit rescue, I hope it's a nice surprise for them.
