Thank you Annee and Natasha!

 Thank you to Annee who sent us this lovely card. She has promised to try and pay us a visit at some point so we will be looking forward to that.

This was all Rhona's work. She has been trying to use up all her odds and ends and has knitted up a storm. I didn't post pictures of everything there were that many. Check out our facebook page for the rest. Allison was extremely chuffed as she got a lovely, cabled cardigan out of it.

Helen also finished a pair of socks. I think these are for herself although she did also mention that she has promised a few pairs to other people.

I also have a wee hint of what to expect on our craft day. Helen is going to be teaching us to make these cards. If anyone wants to sign up please let Helen know so she has an idea of what to bring with her.

Helen also came up with a good idea for our next challenge. This one will be for the spring. Don't worry we will reveal all as soon as we have thought out the details.

National Knitting Day

 Our knitting group was in Hobbycraft in Glasgow again. We were supposed to be in the full weekend but unfortunately due to sickness our numbers dwindled a bit. Rhona, Margaret, Freya and Miriam went along on the Sunday though and had a blast. They had people asking them for advice on their knitting and a few were interested in coming along to the group.

 Everyone took some projects to work on whilst they were there too.

We had a few finishes on Tuesday. The week before Elaine had given out a pattern for a kids hat. Margaret used some left over yarn to knit a few for the shoe box charity. She is now working on an aron cardigan

We had June back with us. She has spent the last few weeks babysitting. In that time she finished this lovely little robin. She has all the other kits to match him. She had planned on working on a rabbit kit but unfortunately the chart was missing from the pack.

Alison has got right into her quilting. She finished the front piece and Isobel was showing her how to pin the back on.

Congratulations Aileen

Congratulations to Aileen who had a little girl last week. Her name is Olivia Beth Thomson.

 Margaret has been busy. She finished this lovely cardigan for herself just in time for the horrible weather setting in (we'll ignore the fact that we had a surprise week of sunshine). She also knitted this Jack O Lantern and monkey for her two daughters (luck me I'm one of them). She has since been knitting for the shoe box charity.

 Isobel brought these mini stockings in to show us what we will be making for our Christmas themed craft day. She had dozens of them and are very cute. Ideal for holding treats on the Christmas tree.

Linda has also been busy. She knitted these scarves and hat for the shoe box charity. Incidentally, if you wish to make anything for the charity you have until the end of the month.

This weekend hobbycraft in Glasgow will be celebrating National knitting week again. Some of the ladies will be there on Saturday and Sunday from 11am-3pm so drop in and say hello. They would love to see you.
