 AWESOME! Absolutely Fabulous! I'd wear that in a heartbeatBridgetTheCat said:Finished this afternoon 😀 I used this wool to crochet a jacket about 7 years ago, but it was too heavy to wear comfortably and just hung in the wardrobe. I did a wardrobe declutter a couple of months ago, but I still loved the wool and didn’t want to throw it out, so I unraveled it all - 8 balls worth - and knitted it into a winter jumper.

            We'll be thinking of you Auti!
 I've started cross stitching a needle case (an arts and crafts peacock design)- forgot I even had it. A handy find as the dog pinched the one I sewed and chewed the corner 🤦♀️
 I also made 14 cards yesterday- Mum found more Disney crafting bits at a craft sale yesterday so very conscious that I need to make some room for all the new stuff. £60 in total for my share 🤦♀️

            @Auti, that is sooo neat 😊
 @BridgetTheCat, what a labour of love that unravelling and reworking must have been. Very worth it though 😊👏❤️
 @CraftyRach that is so sweet. Beautifully done.I am still playing with crochet. This is a piece of double crochet in Aran weight cotton yarn. I can see that my foundation row is a bit tight for tension but I am pretty pleased with the edges 😊 This is a piece of double crochet in Aran weight cotton yarn.

 I will try a piece of treble crochet this evening. Mr KK is deep in Isle of Man highlights atm so it balances out his excited end of the sofa! 😉😂

            Another 10 cards made. Very pleased as there were some odds and ends of card blanks and embellishments used up. On the downside, I found a whole box of Christmas bits hiding in another box 🫠 so a lot more to do!
