Trying something new

Lots of crochet with our tea and coffee this week as we tried out making little birds using amigurumi techniques.  All the concentration meant there was more muttering of instructions and counts than chat!  Making these little birds wasn’t for everyone and some granny squares appeared too.

Tada one finished (rather angry) bird.

There was some knitting of blanket squares too,

and a visit from a knitted yellow duck destined to be left somewhere as part of the little yellow duck project raising awareness of donor schemes.

We have sent off our first parcel of 105 squares to LILY to be made into blankets for Syrian refugees, thanks to who are very generously sponsoring the postage for our parcel each month.

If you want to join us as we crochet, knit, enjoy tea and coffee, and chat - then please use the contact form on the right, and we will send you details of where to find us on a Wednesday afternoon.
