Ready for spring?

Posted by: johannauk on: February 26, 2008

Don’t know about you, but I certainly am….thought I might try and hurry it along with a new theme…there are no flowers in my garden yet, so I will make do with a little blog garden for now.
What have I been up to since I last blogged? Let’s see…last UFO Tuesday saw some progress on [...]

Little woollies

Posted by: johannauk on: October 2, 2007

Made a start on the tiny scarves – 22 knitted so far, 5 finished  and tassled:

These are a lot of fun and a nice break in between stitching.

Calling all knitters – part 2

Or how about teeny tiny scarves – the Origins Ginger Knits Campaign will donate £1 to Shelter from the sale of every scarf-adorned bottle of Goinger Essence. Knitted in green, gold and red, these scarves take only 10 minutes or so to knit!
I am going to attempt to finish 100 of these also. My second goal for October.

Little Bunny Blue

I wanted something quick and eay to stitch yesterday, so picked out another rabbit for our charity stitchalong at Stitch Clubs – the finished set will be sent to SOLAK:

The fabric is actually white,  not blue as it looks in the pic!
I stitched a companion piece a week or two ago, which will go along with the same set:

A few more FTS finishes

Posted by: johannauk on: March 23, 2007

I finished a few more squares for Friends To Seniors this week. Pics are lousy…they really are all stitched on white aida!! LOL

I am going to give the quilt squares a break for a few days and concentrate on some of my own stitching.

A few finishes for FTS

Posted by: johannauk on: March 19, 2007

Finished a few squares this week for Friends To Seniors last week – they will all be used on quilts for the Universal Beneficent Society – an organisation which helps some of the poorest elderly people in the UK. Our association with the UBS has meant that we are able to reach out to many [...]

And blue for a boy!

Posted by: johannauk on: February 24, 2007

Just finished another preemie hat – same pattern, just rolled the brim a little higher. One more on the needles now, in white, then it’s back to my mystery cross stitch…..with breaks in between for sewing purple strips together into blankets.

Pink for a girl…

Posted by: johannauk on: February 23, 2007

I fancied a change from stitching this afternoon, so I knitted this little preemie-sized hat to send to World Of Charity Stitching:

Next is a little blue one, same pattern – available here. Easy to work on whilst I enjoy CSI….just how many episodes are there, seems like every day I see a new one!!

Fly away, butterfly!

Posted by: johannauk on: February 23, 2007

Well – yesterday I put the last backstitches in this butterfly for the SAL at Stitch Clubs – it should only have taken a day or so, and took about a week!! LOL – everything that could go wrong, did.

Despite my frustrations whilst stitching it, I am pleased with it now it’s finished. You can [...]
