I was gifted my late MIL’s yarn stash. I have made a couple of blankets for a friend’s children. Both are based on Attic24 patterns.

Crafting 2024 – Found Objects Picture
I help out at a local Forest Church (worshipping outdoors with families). One of the activities recently was creating pictures out of objects found in the churchyard (leaves and twigs and pebbles and things). As a practice run I made this picture:
The kids could tell what is was (my husband had doubts). The children’s work can be viewed here:
Crafting 2023 – BB8
I am a Sci-fi fan and it is a pleasure when crafting and Sci-fi can be mixed – I came across this pattern (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bb-8-inspired-by-star-wars-the-force-awakens) for BB8 (a robot in Star Wars) and enjoyed making him/her/it.
Crafting 2023 – My Christmas Jumper
I have made a nativity set for a friend’s child (https://www.gathered.how/knitting-and-crochet/knitting/knitted-nativity-pattern) and realised that the figures were about the right size for putting on a jumper. The jumper is from Aneeta Patel’s book Knittygritty (p172) using Stylecraft Special Aran Yarn. I have worn it a lot over the last week
Crafting 2022 – Wraps
I love a poncho or a wrap. Here are two I made last year (I just never got around to getting photos of them). The first is a lovely blue dragonfly one (Pattern is here https://pattern-paradise.com/2016/08/31/free-crochet-pattern-dragonfly-poncho/) that I really enjoyed making. The yarn is Red Heart Unforgettable – Dragonfly (03935)
Second is one I made out of an oatmeal shade of yarn. Basically I was making some granny squares and thought that with thicker yarn and not completing the square I could make a shawl/wrap. The Yarn is Nicole by Crelando (from a well known inexpensive supermarket). Also below is my scribbled pattern idea.
Crafting 2022 – Storybook characters
I love using double pointed needles. Here are two projects I undertook last year using double pointed needles. They resemble characters in the storybooks that were gifted alongside them.
Crafting 2023 – Two more stoles
Earlier in the year I completed two more stoles for people I know who were being ordained.
Crafting 2022 – Kneeler
My MIL or I have made kneelers for all the churches where my husband has been a member of clergy. As he is now in charge of two churches, rather than making two kneelers, I made one with the team logo and named the two churches.
Crafting – most of the stoles I have made in one post
Crafting 2020 – Stash buster blankets
These two blankets were made last year but I have only just managed to give them to their intended recipients, who I haven’t seen for a year. The right hand one is inspired by Attic 24 Dahlia blanket (https://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/dahlia-blanket-cal.html)
