Knitting Class
There is a lot of talk about Knitting being fashionable but being tucked away in my own corner of the World I haven't really noticed until this week when I was asked by three "youngsters"to teach them to knit. It was my pleasure! The first one was my Darling Daughter and she surprised herself and remembered how to do it, I had taught her many years ago when she used to sit and watch me. The second was a friend of hers who picked it up very quickly, after she has practised for a week we will have to get together and teach her the next stitch. The third one was one of my favourite 9 year old girls, we struggled a little this week only to discover at the end of the week that she is left handed. I had never even thought to ask the questions. A quick phone call to my left handed, knitting mother today may help with that issue.

Now as for my sewing....I have been a sewing demon recently; A seat cover for the back seat to help with muddy paw prints, some silk pillows for a friend, some charity blocks for quilts. The list is endless, I have had to start making lists of UFOs just to make sure that I get everything accomplished..BUT...my favourite thing this month has been a gift for a farmers wife in Hertford. When I visited with Darling Son in Thundridge, I stayed in a rented holiday home and met a lovely family who have Guinea Fowl running all over.

Let's hope she likes him as much as I do, he may be hard to part with! I will be staying there again when I attend my sewing week at the Creative Sanctuary.
That's it for this blog because I want to do a special photo piece on my latest craze: Recycling Jeans.
Thanks to friends and family I have enough old pair of jeans to complete all my recycle ideas so watch this space.
