Lot of Weeks In One!
Woo hoo, my last catch up post. All up to date. Been a while since I have been able to say that. I do need to apologise though as not all of these photo's were taken by myself and I'm unsure who did what in some of them. First of all look who is back! Our Laura was back with us for Donna's baby shower. She's been away studying as well as working full time.
I love this, so cute!
I love the pattern round the bottom.
How lovely is Helen's scarf? This was a pattern she got from the wool show in Perth. Is is knitted up using sock yarn so that the stripes occur naturally. Very effective.
This lovely cardigan was knitted by Stephanie using the smaller pom pom yarn. She knitted this up as a favour to Hobbycraft. They provided the yarn and Stephanie has knitted it up for them to display.
These lovely blankets were crocheted by Lyn. She did this for a local charity which helps families living in poverty.
This huge blanket was also by Lyn but this one is for herself (and quite right too).
This cute little cross stitch was done by Laura. This was initially a gift from a friend who said they wouldn't mind getting it back once complete. Made us laugh anyway.
Isabel is back to knitting her egg cup bunnies. She is knitting them to raise funds for the Beatson. Quite a few of the knitting group have put their orders in.
Another lovely cross stitch. This time by Julie. I love the colours in this. It also has beads throughout. It's a pity the camera doesn't show them up as it really sets it off.
Last but not least this lovely jumper was knitted by Ally. Again I love the colours. I love how they all come together. Best of all I love that this was knitted up with just one yarn.

Donna's Baby Shower
I promised to update today and for once I have. I have to admit that I enjoyed looking through these photo's as I was unable to make it. Looks like Donna had a fab time though which is kind of the point. The wee bear in the photo was one of the gifts. This is Charley bear and he was knitted by Caroline. It's maybe a good thing I wasn't there as I might have tried to steal him.
All of Donna's pressies all together.
These amazing cakes were made by a friend of Julie's. They looked amazing and tasted just as good.
Lyn made this lovely green and lemon blanket. I don't know if you can see the little roses which set it off.
This lovely blanket, cardigan and hat, all matching, was knitted by Roberta.
Helen put together one of her famous baby scrap book albums.
Another famous gift, a teething toy made by Magda. Love the red, black and white.
Always handy, a set of baby grows from Fiona.
This beautiful alphabet quilt was made by Izzi.
Isobel gave Donna a favourite of hers, the hooded towel.
June made one of her granny square baby blankets. She also gave a book and a bunny.
This beautiful quilt was made by Val.
Another famous gift, this time from Janette. One of her quilted dogs.
These sleepsuits were from myself as I sadly ran out of time.
This lovely lemon jumper is from Alison along with some baby grows.
Ally knitted up one of her sleeping bags.
Margaret knitted this cardigan with little cat buttons along with matching bootees and hats.
This soft toy was from Rhona and Freya along with bootees, mittens and one of Freya's decoupage animals.
I love this cushion. This was made by Linda. She also gave Donna some bodysuits.
Elaine made this lovely hot water bottle cover along with bootees and a cardigan.
Eeyore and Winnie the Pooh towel was from the lovely Dawn Marie
Margaret from the Sunday group made this lovely cardigan. Whilst Jean gave the teething ring and bottles.
This height chart was beautifully stitched by Aileen.
Last but not least was a card I saw ages ago that I couldn't resist picking up from all of us. Each of the little socks attached to the line is knitted.

Gartmore Photo's
Apologies for this being so late. But here are the photo's at last. I was sent them a while ago so I can only apologise. Fingers crossed I will have Donna's baby shower up tomorrow night. These are only a few of the photo's. You can see the rest on our facebook page. Just type Glasgow Fort Stitch 'n' Bitch into the search engine.
