More from Brenda's bag! A baby blanket made with little rectangles and a crochetted edge - this was a surprise because she was making a completely different blanket recently... Now she's working on a cotton baby hat but I didn't get a picture. She did happily model Annette's finished curly scarf though! Annette started it with about 280 stitches cast on rather large needles and her mum asked her to cut it in half, so now she has 2 scarves.

Annette is making herself persevere with crochet. She's actually very good at it but worries about her edges not being even. Today she just knocked out a quick square of trebles. Easy peasy.






Mary carries on with the knit chick farming...the angora ones are in demand for Easter. But she picked up 6 balls of nice yellow mohair yarn at the charity shop for only 30p. Having just bought £36 of cashmere on eBay I'm very jealous.


Wendy missed a couple weeks but was back this week with a long-ways knit striped top. She's decided it might be too tricky to do the arms, etc, so is going to make it a tube top style with wide straps at the top.

I'm still plugging away at the crochetted socks and trying to write down the pattern as I make it. Cashmere arrived for the skull and crosses pattern in the 'Happy Hooker' crochet book so I'm very excited about starting that next! But must finish the socks first. And I'm getting tempted into trying some freeform by the UK Handknitters group.
