Wheatear it's the weather or the portableness of it, knitting seemed to be the choice of craft today. There is one particular lady that I would have to say is the "Knitter" of the group. She not only knits for herself but also for others (charities). Here are just some of the items that she has knitted lately.
For those of you interested in how I'm going with my knitting, I've knitted almost 60cm worth of the shrug which will be approx 130-140cm long. I started about 5 times before I was happy with the start and was too far along to unravel it if I made a mistake. The shrug had a little operation early on, one of the ladies (which happens to be a neighbour) fixed up some mistakes and put me back on track. After a number of rows we worked out that it wasn't going to be wide enough so I'm in the process of added an extra stitch every row, so by the time I'm knitting the area that will cover my back, it will be wide enough to keep my kidneys warm as my father would say. This month’s demo was this paper mâché birdy bowl. It's a great craft project for children (of any age) as long as an adult does all the cutting of the birds with the craft knife. If you would like to make your own, send me an email and I will forward you the instructions and birdy pattern.
Until next month
