Hi
I rather feel that someone has stolen a couple of months - I don't believe it can actually be November already!
Not much to show for the month of October, but here's a few pics:
Kawandi projects at Chertsey Museum
Finished papoose pouches
I bought the centre wool in Texas, but ran out before it reached a reasonable length. I thought I found the same wool on ETSY but clearly not 😕. I've fallen out of love with it but at least it's finsihed!
Another finished was two Grandmother's flower garden quilts for this lovely lady's new great grandchildren. She started the quilts in the 1970s and gave me the flimsey about a year ago and I reduced it to 2 cot sized quilts and quilted and bound them and gave them back - she was delighted!
And I was delighted . . . I love this enamel jug but the ice would all fall out in the first pour. My lovely repair cafe man, Peter 3D printed an ice stopper insert from squishy plastic so now the ice remains in the jug. Roll on next summer
I held a class at Windsor Baptist church making willow weaving stars - aimed at children the adults had great fun too!
I just wanted to share this Lego envy: Jackie's daughter S has sorted by colour and it's a dream to find the right pieces!
I asked my cousin in Norway if she would knit me a traditional cardigan, and oh boy has she delivered! I love, love LOVE this, and even a hat from the left over wool!
Well that's it for October: although I've managed to scrabble together a month's furtle* it doesn't show much that I've made . . . hopefully I'll do better next time
("Furtle" is a word that means to rummage around or search through something, often in the hope of finding something overlooked.)
I think that finishing the blanket (and the way that you've added the new wool to both ends looks great!) and completing the two grandmothers garden children's quilts is enough to give most of us finishing envy! Let alone the papooses and running various classes and events. Seems like it was a very busy month - and very productive! xx
