Thank goodness - managed to match yarn I’ve had for ages.

Brilliant! Don't you just love it when a project comes together? I never seem to have just the right yarn in my stash somehow. Mr B complains about it, but then he never seems to have just the right tool in any of his 6 toolboxes, for whatever DIY job he's undertaking, so even stevens I think!

Gosh that was lucky Witzend
I still havent got round to making the Nativity I promised years ago!

Just finished a jumper for a friends 5y old gd. Quite pleased with it in the end (I'm too much of a perfectionist I think. If it looks 'off' I'm likely not to give it!!).

Interesting you posting about this today. I've just bought a latch hook rug kit and have spent far too long working out how to use the hook! I had the wool on the wrong side, silly me!

I've always fancied trying my hand at rug making shandy57
Are you using up left over knitting wool?
Do let us know how you get on wont you?

Oh, not the N word

I finished the crochet blanket - when they get to a certain size I get fed up . It's a 6' square so should fit a double bed, but have nearly enough yarn left for another one (nearly).

ps that is what is called serendipity, Witzend

Sorry, Callistemon! I do sometimes think of all your ‘bits’, languishing there all unloved.
You could always post them to me - I rather like sewing up and stuffing, and I have two huge bags of stuffing that are taking up far too much room.

A 6 foot square blanket - goodness, how long did that take you?

I’m about 16 inches into the first 2 foot section of my stashbuster rainbow blanket. (Should end up 4 foot 6 x 6 feet.). Might just about have it ready by the C-word, but other things on the go in between. The blanket is v good for mindless knitting in front of the telly.

probably about a month Witzend, it's just a granny blanket, endless ever increasing squares!

A month? Just one, for a 6 foot square?
I am in awe!

Namsnanny if I do continue I'll come back and show you, but it is very slow going, only about a thousand more holes to fill

Could be 5 weeks, I'm trying to remember. Yes, 4-5.
We have been stuck at home for a while.

I have a baby sweater that needs the front neck and shoulder finished, but I lost the pattern. The baby is now 28.....

The front of the sweater is still on the stitch holder; don't call me a quitter!

I have the fronts of an incredibly complicated cardigan CanadianGran that my mother started just after WW2. I keep meaning to finish it but as I'm only a "basic" knitter I keep putting it aside.

A couple of years ago I used some of the yarn from a cardigan I’d started making for a dd of then 7, to make dolls’ clothes for a little Gdd. The dd the cardigan was originally for would have then been 38. ?

I will eventually use up the rest, probably in Twiddle Muffs - once all current projects are done and dusted.

Never say never CanadianGran. I used to start sweaters for one child and when I finished they perfectly fitted the next! 28 years sounds like a next grandchild project though.
