That is very good news, @PipneyJane.
I hope the budget allows you and OH to get away for a night or two - it seems a very good suggestion after the stress of the last few months.Sealed Pot Challenge no 14

Hi all,
@PipneyJane the best news
after your last project when you were playing yarn chicken I am not surprised you ordered more
I have frogged a blanket I made 50 years ago with my Mum's scrap wool. It had been nibbled by the moths when I had the moth attack. Strangely they only went for 1 bit and even though I thought I had sorted it, it was starting to unravel so I have frogged it and removed the nibbled bits. I am going on holiday tomorrow and it will be coming with me to be remade, but better. There are quite a few memories in that yarn .
Take care everyone12 -

Love what you're doing with that blanket, @Liverpool_Anne! Re-making memories - absolutely the best way to go.
I have another small quilt to make; luckily I kept some of the leftovers from DS1's wedding quilt, which is exactly the right palette for their house, all warm & cosy. I have until December, so I can have a good run-up at it. But I've also managed to snap up an Ebay bargain of a rather-large rug loom; I've been after one for years, and actually had one at one point but didn't have enough space to justify keeping it. However with less inhabitants I can make some space now, so some of my time will be taken up learning to warp it properly & achieve the results I want! And next week will be dedicated to making that space, there and in the sewing room...Angie - GC Oct 26 £474.95/£450: 2026 Fashion on the Ration Challenge: 29/66: (Money's just a substitute for time & talent...)7 -

Well....our coffee morning at church sometimes attracts the wrong sort...flies, that is! So...I thought I would have a go at crocheting some food covers...here's the first one. I went a bit wrong changing from one row to another a few times, but it will do for a first try. Now, the thing is, do I make another one the same to try to get the pattern right, or do I try a different one?
