Here Came the Sun

Well the sun was out for our last meeting and we had the door open and the blinds up. We welcomed back TJ after a long break who had LOADS of goodies to show us. Most slightly out of season. She brought us all the feltwork she'd been doing we've only a pic of her favourite one but she has done her lucky son a fabulous christmas stocking and a SNOW banner as well. She is not the only talented one in the family as her husband not only bakes and decorates the most amazing unique cakes he paints as well. He painted in pastels a portrait of a dog which went on to win the Hobbycraft Crafter of the year in his catergory. His prize £250 of Hobbycraft voucher unfortunately HC don't sell his pastels so poor TJ just had to go to HC and stock up on some craft essentials for herself and in the process and discovered rugmaking. She was working a pretty Tinkerbell rug at this meeting. PB was working on another throw . This time it is one she is designing herself from a book she was given for her recent birthday. She is no longer a teenager and is very happy about it. She is knitting it an a camel coloured yarn. LJ was working out a pattern from the Felted Collection by Rowan and working on her Rowan Membership free gift in all seasons cotton. LP was working on another jacket (this woman can knit) in Sirdar Peru in a blue/grey multi colour.. She is on the final sleeve so I expect we shall see her at the next meeting. J was working on a Sirdar Baby Bamboo bolero and managed to finish the back and I was knitting the Remote Control tidy from Simply Knitting issue 41. I am using Cashsoft Chunky.

Our next meeting is our first daytime meeting in Caffe Nero Borehamwood. This is happenning on 30th May @ 10.30am. Our next evening meeting is June 9th 6.30pm
