Here’s what group members have completed recently, starting with A’s stunning mosaic crochet throw pictured above. Mosaic crochet involves working into the front and the back of each stitch, effectively making it double thickness. It’s chunky yarn too so it’s very heavy (must be lovely and warm though).
L finished her tshirt top. I love the boat neckline. She’s not happy about the length though so we discussed possible ways to lengthen it,
Y showed us her adorable baby blanket adorned with cats, hearts and elephants,
R joined us from the train! That’s real dedication to the group! it looked pretty empty so no one could mind her chatting to us.
The yarn has arrived for her Aztec Banket Knit-a-long so she was about to start the first part. Gorgeous colours!
I’ve cast on the jumper I’ve been prepping spinning and dyeing alpaca fibre for. This has been a long time coming!
I’m always amazed at the volume of beautifully made items the group produce, even when there are only a few of us. Go Knit and Natterers!!

I am impressed with that mosaic throw.

Gorgeous isn’t it! Having seen A’s throw and watched a tutorial on mosaic crochet I’m now tempted to have a go at this technique.

So nice to have knitting buddies who can give advice if you aren’t happy with something you are making. Sometimes a second, or third or more opinion is so helpful. Once at my knitting group a friend was so frustrated with a tangled half ball of yarn hanging from her project she was tempted just to bin the whole thing. Lucky for her, one of us bought her a cuppa, took the project and spent 15 mins patiently de-tangling so it could be saved and she kept her sanity. That’s what good knitting buddies are for!

I love this aspect of knitting groups. All those decades of experience within the membership, supportively shared. I was fairly competent before, but I’ve learnt so much more since I started social knitting.

I love the inspiration I get from other crafters too – even currently over Zoom chats rather than meeting in person!
