Sheepy Handwarmers

Surrounded by handwarmers - 3x1 ribs done on the circular sock machine, with hand knit thumbs. These are to go into the museum shop at Ruddington. Similar ribs on the Knitmaster with side slit for thumb. Then double thickness Fair Isle with pattern of sheep. The latter are for the Lambing Day at Long Whatton in Aprul. Dunno if many will sell, but can hope!

Colorful (sic) Cushion and Noro bag




From an American magazine, Crochet Today. USed leftover colours from the twins baby blankets, although by now have done so manyother projects I have propbably bought twice as much!.

Also Noro Kuretyon bag. Swore I would nbever attempt to handkit Noro sock yarn again. it's really tricky even re-widing it for use on the flatbed, at top tension. Still puckered and tuccked in some palces. then when it was washed it warped due to the single ply yarn.
