The group continue to knit, crochet and sew all manner of beautiful things. Here are a selection of their makes.
L has now completed her colourful Sweet Pea Blanket (pictured above), by adding the border.
This was a kit she received from her daughter at Christmas.
L has also been loom knitting this hat.
R has been making herself a cardigan in a self patterning yarn in soft shades of blue and beige.
She’s also been continuing a patchwork project that has been on the go for many years ands wondering how to do the border.
L came to the rescue with some advice as she’s made hexagon quilts before, including this lovely pink one.
That’s the beauty of social knitting/crafting. All that pooled experience means that there is seldom a question that cannot be answered.
We also put our heads together on this project that Y has been working on.
This is one of a pair of gentleman’s kilt stockings in a cable design made in very fine yarn. It involved purl twisted cable, which took some working out! Y is definitely the Sock Queen – she also made these colourful self striping socks, with bright shades alternating with black.
It took me longer to make my alpaca socks than she took to make both of these pairs!
C has made these lovely blue baby bootees….
…and has been working on a pink teddy bear!
A has been crocheting baby blankets, including this one in pretty pastel shades.
She also asked someone skilled in amigurami crochet to make this bunny – isn’t it lovely?
Another crafty friend, who is not in our online knitting group – showed me something she recently completed from a kit: a crocheted Harry Potter! The kit included the tiny broomstick!
Have you made any toys recently? I’d love to hear about them.
