Bunnies, Bibs and things!
These lovely cuddle bunnies and dribble bibs were created by Janice. What a talented lady! Janice was inspired to make these when she saw them in a book. She used cotton fabric backed by fleece from Ikea. Lovely gifts for somebody.
Stephanie just loves to knit! This pram blanket is based on an old pattern which Stephanie updated with her choice of colours and then she improvised to create the border. Stunning!
As you know I've been trying my hand at crochet recently. I really struggle with crochet and feel more comfortable knitting. However, nothing ventured, nothing gained.........
June had another finish to show us. This beautiful watermill scene was started some time ago and left to mature. I think you will agree that the completed cross-stitch picture is lovely and is crying out to be framed.
Yvonne is the whiz kid with the pompom yarn. She completed this crib blanket and presented it to the proud new parents. you can see a photograph of the blanket in its crib looking magnificent. I love pompom blankets!
Catriona enjoys knitting with the vintage patterns. This gorgeous white jacket is knitted in herringbone stitch and looks wonderful. The little hat just finishes off the outfit. Cute, cute and cute. Fabulous work!
The case of the missing doggy coat! A couple of weeks ago Janice brought in a dog coat along that she had knitted for her son's Jack Russell pup. The pictured dog coat disappeared into the pc and then surfaced in places it should not have been in! Anyway, this is a dog coat that Janice improvised and I have no doubt that it will be the first of many. Go on, admit it, it was worth waiting for!
Not too many finishes this week due to the holiday season.
The lovely Swati had a baby girl at the weekend. Mother, Daddy and baby doing well. The proud grandparents are over the moon!

Not Last Week BUT The Week Before.........
Jillian is a big fan of pompom yarn and has worked two beautiful soft baby blankets.
The solid colour blanket is just as cute as the multi-coloured yarn.
Elaine had created some pompoms for Lyn's challenge to participate in Kirstie Althorpe's World Record Breaking line of pompoms.
Lyn started her contribution to the record breaking attempt with these multi-coloured woolly pompoms.
Caroline had crocheted this wonderful rainbow blanket. The stitching is stunning! This is an amazing gift for someone.
Roberta was in a purple mood when she knitted these lovely socks. It is amazing the number of people who are now attempting socks. Ginnie Willis you must be so proud that your sock influence has spread throughout the group.
This bonnie pink baby dress was also knitted by Roberta.
Is there no end to this woman's talents? Roberta completed this marvellous red and white aran cardigan. Wow! I wonder what she will bring in next week!
Catriona joined the group recently and brought along this nifty romper suit she had completed.
The teacup candle was bought by Fiona on a facebook auction. Our own talented Norma had made this and donated it to the auction.
As you know, Ponchos are on trend at the moment. Fiona had fun working on this little outfit.
How cute are these little teddy slippers? Fiona created a loud ahhhh! when she displayed this set. These would be a hit at any baby shower.
Anthea has been working on her crocheted flower blanket for about five months. I've admired it in various stages of development and was disappointed to have missed its completion. It looks amazing. What an achievement!
I was on holiday and missed these wonderful finishes and would like to say a huge thank you to Janice for taking the photos and and keeping the notes. I would also like to thank the seven people who assisted me in downloading the photos and juggling them around the computer towards blogger. I shall now retire to the safety of the couch and sip a large chilled glass of wine.
