Another wee knitting project

 Just off my needles, this set, which is headed for the Christmas box...



The picture shows the colour as being blue, but it's actually black.  Same pattern as I used before and I believe the yarns are Canadiana (labels are long gone).  

- There are a number of ideas HERE for uses for scrap yarn.

- There's an excellent article HERE that might help you when adding borders to a quilt.

- Of course THIS would catch my eye!

- There are some great ideas HERE that you might find of interest.

- If you make fabric postcards (or would like to), perhaps the ideas HERE for finishing would be useful to know.

Today the quote is from Thomas Paine..."A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody"

    1. Both are easy patterns to do. The hardest part was changing colours.

  2. Thomas Paine was a great thinker and writer. So many true statements to think about, especially now.

    1. Mittens and hats never come amiss when it comes to the grandies so I'll know they'll get used.
