Very nice! The sweater that is!

I have been busy making trousers this week. I also have loads of fabric and beads and have finally used some black linen I bought years ago

It's lovely. There is certainly some work in this and those black and white charts are really horrendous. I did a similar thing years ago but from a colour code chart and even that was a nightmare because of all the colour changes in the coat. I haven't seen it for years - I must find it again.

It's only since I started going in rather than out in the middle that I decided it would be a good idea! I am not quite at the top of the size range but the idea is it will get smaller with me.

Quite excited. Have bought a dress form on eBay and it has just arrived. The challenge now is to make it the same shape as me!

They are really pretty. You are very organised starting so early!

They are really nice. I particularly like the top one. It is difficult to find an outlet. My sister makes amazing Eco dyed scarves and sells through a local shop where you either pay rent for a bit of space or work a day in the shop. She has recently started to do craft fairs and has been...

Have been busy making bunting for the tea tent at our Rotary Dragonboats race. I don't know what it is about it but the cat is fascinated. I have just found him asleep on it.

My sister has heard a rumour that they are getting more in October. I didn't think I needed one until I was given one as a Christmas present. Saves hours and the seams look really neat. I rarely make something on which it is not used

Me too. Have been baking for a charity events tomorrow so have been tasting things I haven't eaten for months. Not looking forward to tomorrow morning!

I bought one that can thread its own needle a couple of months ago. It has saved me hours

What a lovely idea. I'm sure that you would feel better about your appearance . The shape is really good.

Your hoodie is far neater than my hand knitting!

I had a knitting machine and for years used to make all my own knitwear but when they became less popular and I became bigger, there were fewer patterns available and you are limited by the ply of the 'wool' and the number of needles on the standard bed(200). I started hand knitting but could...

It's more a matter of looking at knitted things and not being satisfied with the quality

In response to the comment about stitching columns together: I bet that looks really good. I wish I had the patience to knit. There are bags with half-finished items tucked away all over my house.

Busy week this week. Made a lined lace shift dress and then a summer dress which buttons all the way down the back. Am pleased with my efforts this summer but guess it's about time to start making trousers for the autumn. I still have a fair bit of wardrobe space to fill after the mega clear out!

5.6 this morning but some pasta last night so I'm not complaining

5.5 for me as well

No, in a marquee at the cricket club across the road! It's part of the fundraising efforts for a new clubhouse . We have been to many things at Lowther over the years though.
