Hi Leolady56 

A hat for a friend ;-) xx

Love it xx

So annoyed with this pattern. I have started it last night, have both the colours recommended and then find it is not intarsia knitting but bloody swiss darning for the spots on the elephant!!!

Not my strong point and prefer to knit in as many different colours as required.

The Monkey is intarsia so will be OK with that one.

Really p***es me off as they dont tell you until the end of the pattern

Rant over!!!!

How annoying taralou Could you knit the spots in instead? I've been known to do that sort of thing. Takes a bit of patience to work out the patterning but isn't that difficult.

Wow what a great thread and so many amazing makes! Classing myself as a creative person I love looking at all your crafts they have really put a smile on my face this morning!

I love your paper piece quilt and 2 fingers up to the stuck up woman who said it was cheating!  Your quilt is really nice and you are very talented to.make this. I make rag quilts and when I mention it to traditional quilters they look at me as if to say thats not quilting but it is and it appeals to me more. I am proud of my crafts they are individual and represent me. Having chronic fatigue it takes me longer than most to complete them but I love to make things and have sold at fairs and markets in the past.

Will post some pics when I can work up the energy to get out of bed!

Well done ladies!

Your quilt is lovey and 

Hi Kacang  Yes, have thought about that but have finished the main part now so will have a go at the swiss darning!!

Morning everyone. I guess you all have woken to the white stuff again. Have to admit it looks very pretty and is an excellent excuse to stay home and just knit, crochet, paint or do whatever your craft is.
I was beginning to think this group was no more or people weren’t interested as didn’t see any posts for ages Then I found they had all gone into my junk file. Was lovely reading what you have all been up to and was happy to see the group growing and thriving . I love all your pictures and what a fantastic crafty lot we are. A few have mentioned scraps or leftover yarn and what to do with them or wanting patterns. This link is all free patterns for knitting and crocheted things. Yes they do everything else as well but have masses of free patterns in every category.

I’m knitting dog coats for 2 rescue charities at the moment which is addictive as can make one in an evening. I also bought some lovely soft yarn to make some knockers. I do have a bit of an addiction to stash buying and found a very good site for it, woolwarehouse. My latest order:  

Have a warm and happy Sunday all.

Love and hugs

Hi Frances,

Love the doggie coats, thanks for the tip about woolwarehouse, just had a look on their site such a huge choice, not too far from me so worth a visit.

Also the free pattern site, is that where you got the dog coats from, I have loads of spare wool, so good way to use it up xxx

Love Jenny xx

Hi Frances

I love the dog coats you’ve knitted, and what a great cause.  Do you have patterns you work from ?  I’d love to knit some of these but need a pattern as I’m not goreat at making up patterns myself !

I've just been on ebay and ordered 10 random 100g balls of wool that I don't need and have no plans for!!!! 

I obviously have FAR too much time on my hands!!!! 

Hope everyone is having a good day!
