Knitting for beginners or advanced

Jackie is just learning to knit, mastering how to hold those needles right. (Next learning curve is how to change colour!) Wendy has it down pat and is knitting beanies for the troops in Afghanistan where it is so cold the soldiers like to wear something warm under their helmets. Go girls!

    Are we allowed to give brand names??? I would check out what schools buy for student use. It works with sewing machines one particular brand has been used for years and stood the test of time and Miss Handling.

Busy!

Hi from your long lost blogger. All of a sudden things get a bit too busy and the blog has to be patient and wait for me! 2 main things have taken my attention. 1- My Dad went to hospital but is OK and getting well looked after there. His sense of humour is in tact so I know he is feeling a lot better. 2- I rearranged furniture. Hmmmm. I LOVE rearranging furniture. It gives me hope that things are going to be super organised with the new look. I knew this was going to be a tricky one though because I was actually going to end up with one cupboard less.

These cute little Christmas stockings were made by Mandy. There was no real pattern to follow so we worked it out easily enough by sharing crochet know how and made little stocking decorations until they were everywhere. Wil and Bev G made a heap! Here are some pictures and a pattern! A pentagon granny square folded in half to make a little stocking. Make them in whatever colour you like! Add some sparkle :) or a bell on the toe! Put a few sweets, a roll of mints or a roll of cold hard cash inside, hang them on the Christmas tree and you will be popular. Click "read more" below for the pattern.

Crocheted flowers are so easy and gorgeous and useful and cheap and pretty and ...well you can see I am excited about our crocheted flower workshops we will be having this term! We have gathered some nice samples and some patterns and Jenny has prepared some great step-by-step tutorials which will appear on the blog in the next few months. Here are a few to whet your appetite... Today I am putting pretty hand made flowers on the blog in memory of Jenni's grandmother who passed away this morning. She was very special to Jenni and loved all things handmade too. She has gone to be the Lord Jesus who she had a very real relationship with. So no more pain for her, but still of course it is always sad to say goodbye. Thinking of you and praying for you this week Jenni and Leanne.
