Lovely corgi doggie and her majesty Orkney.

Here is something I've fiddled about with. It's not knitting but it involves wool so I think it counts
Fluffy Florence eating the daisies!

This is them on the day. I made the donation box (in the centre) too and helped decorate the table.


Hope everyone is well. I have really bad back pain just now. On the knitting front am trying to finish some WIP's and also do some charity knitting.

thinking along the lines of the popular de=clutter i pulled out a few bin liners and huge boxes that i had no idea of their contents, the view was well if i had not looked at them in at least 6 months i was to charity them off. once opened i found they were all full of wool that i was waiting to marry it off with a pattern. this i was never able to do and so they got stashed next to what already had wool in that i knew about. knittingpatterncentral was the one i was recommended the most. the only problem with them is they list everything by name so i have to open the link take a look if n ot suitable close link and open the next one and so on until such time you use the will to live. i have now put the majority of it into a sucky bag in bottom of wardrobe and it will only be a matter of time before the suck goes and it will all bounce back and everything will come bursting out. is there such a place where you can type in what wool you have and miraculously a choice of patterns for that wool will appear or am i ahead of the game in my thinking, f i am someone should do this as i feel definitely would be a trail blazer or is there some other way i could get some help please?

Finished another Pimpelliese shawl in the same yarn as my Refresher Socks



Currently knitting an Aran cushion cover as a gift. Great fun and knits up quickly.
