Donations for Ukraine

Whilst in the village the other day, I popped in to my local wool shop to pick up some felt, (more about that at another time)

Whilst talking to Val the owner, I asked what the latest village knit along was, and was informed it was knitted items for Ukraine, so when I got home I sorted through my craft fair boxes and selected a big bag of jumpers, cardigans, hats, mitts and a few blankets, which I took into Val a few days later.

Now I'm using up my wool scraps making hats, mitts and blankets and any other items I have enough wool to make for her to add to her boxes she posts off, I'm hoping to do a few Aran and chunky jumpers for extra warmth.

I'm making items from new born to 6-7 yrs  

Here are a few hats and mitts, I also made a few chunky jackets, and blankets which ae now all on the way to the Ukraine in time for the winter

Sewing room re-visited

 

Its been a while but after a unexpected stay in hospital for 4 weeks then a further week for surgery and moths of rest, we finally got round to sorting out my sewing room these are the before photos.

With the storage units built by the husband almost complete.

just needs painting and I can start putting my yarns on the own cubicles 

Its now got its nice white gloss finish

I can now go straight to the yarn I'm looking for rather than searching through numerous boxes, and my materials and fat quarters are easy to find all sorted on shelves in the cupboard

Twins blanket

Patch work blanket

A few months ago a friend asked me to make a blanket for her twins, she picked a patchwork blanket made with Aran yarn,  after a lot of research I found the perfect yard, #James C Brett I chose white and yellow and #Stylecraft I chose mint.

The  blanket had different motifs in each square and was backed in white,yellow and mint 

with a white edging.  The twins loved their blanket and  always sleep well under their snuggly blanket.

All these yarns are available at #woolwarehouse.
