Knit and Natter 29th April

We had another lively session on Friday. Y has completed this amazing sweater for husband, C, made from his handspun yarn. isn’t it amazing. Y joined us from her car as she was out of the house – even the car has some of her handiwork in the form of this crocheted rainbow.

A borrowed my knitting loom set to have a go and made this baby hat. We agreed that loom knitting can be a real yarn guzzler, with several strands needed to get a decent finish.

L has been loom knitting for ages and uses chunky yarn when she can – here are some of her adult hats.

She’s also working on this pretty pink striped blanket.

S has made this barn owl motif, which will be added to a banner depicting endangered wildlife. The banner will be on show at the forthcoming Climate Change Summit.

She’s also finished a pretty baby cardigan and found the perfect buttons.

R’s patchwork is getting huge!

I’m still spinning alpaca for a jumper for myself.

  1. I rather like the idea of the first jumper with the mix and match sleeve/body. It would appeal to me as I get fed up knitting too much the same, so less to get fed up with! Everything else is very cute too – I made a crochet rainbow for the NHS pretty similar and I have an ongoing hexagon patchwork I dive into from time to time. Lovely to see peoples’ progress and finished items

    1. It’s an impressive knit. Seeing what everyone is up to is one of my favourite things about the group (as well as chatting with my knitting pals of course)!

    1. Brilliant isn’t it. There’s more about the banner and pics of her other contributions to that project in a previous knit and natter post
