I'm raising money for our church building rennovation. My local church is finalising it's building purchase but we have no money for rennovation.

You can buy my small zip purse or hexagon zip pocket keyring for £3 each. 100% of sales to go to the church. Some designs have already sold.

Thanks for looking

Points 1 and 3 just seem to happen naturally 😂😜

Knitting for someone? Read this first.
Superstitions have always been part of knitting.
Here are four you may not have heard before...

1. Leave at least one mistake.

The idea that only the divine can create something perfect can be observed in many cross-cultural craft practices, such as Persian rug making. Historically, deliberate mistakes were added to work to keep knitters safe, which also links to the idea that human work was never designed to be perfect.

2. No knitting on Sundays.

This idea comes from Irish Aran knitters, who worked long hours on highly skilled pieces for very little pay, sometimes only receiving food in return.

3.Trap a strand of hair in your work.

Some believe that trapping a strand of hair in your knitting can bind the recipient to you. This comes from old folk stories, where hair was said to be used in spells or keepsakes to carry part of a person.

4. No knitting for a partner before marriage.

The ‘sweater curse’ is the superstition that
knitting a time intensive gift for a partner prior to marriage can lead to its breakdown. As any seasoned knitter knows, hours invested in a garment aren't always rewarded by the recipient and this theory is emblematic of that.

Hoping these party bags will go down well with my youngest's crowd. Blank pencil cases that I've personalised using my silhouette portrait and glitter HTC. Filled with sweets, tattoos, slap band and a secret spy notebook. Something a little different I hope

Happy post. Look at the bundle of loveliness that's just arrived from I knew it would be beautiful so I didn't rush to open it but rather savoured it. This is the first time I've ordered and I absolutely love the little added touches. I can't wait to spin it, hope I can do it justice.

I have spun my own merino yarn and made a granny stitch cat beanie. I'm so pleased with my spins having only been using a wheel for 6 months. The colours are so fun and bright and perfect for this hat. The pattern was so beautifully written and was quick and easy to make.

I've also included a rare picture of myself.

Really chuffed with this one. Had a break from spinning for about a month due to crazy busy December then cold virus and loss of motivation. Got back into this this evening and it's plied up beautifully, with no breaks and pretty much even bobbins as you may be able to see there is a tiny bit of dark blue left on the middle bobbin. It's a mixed bag of merino that I've spun from the fold on my Ashford traditional.
