Busy fingers

Hi Everybody.. hope alls well with you as it is with me,
Not a lot to report, Saturday I visited my sister for a couple hours,Sunday spent a couple hours in the garden before the heavens opened up with some very heavy much needed rain.Then was time to go inside do a little knitting and watch my football team "Tigers" being televised live and WIN there last game of the season. Today I went to exercises, did a little food shopping and tomorrow of to bowls and scoring again at carpet bowls in the evening.
Well thats all folk now on with a few photo's of my knitting ..

Please click to enlarge all photo's

My doll pictured above, was given to me by my Godmother when I was about 4 months old, making her slightly younger then me approx 21yrs old !!!! .. okay she is turning 69 this year. "Sarah" is made of a celluloid material, and has moveable arms and legs, which are joined by an elastic thread internally. Over the years the elastic deteriated, and she had a small dent in her cheek, so I took her along to the Dolls Hospital in Melbourne who specialise in doll restoration. "Sarah" was returned with a hole in her cheek as it was brittle with age, I wish they had not tried, but what is done is done, and I still had to pay them for the restringing. I knitted her a new layette for her home coming, and she has pride of place upon my bed.

I knitted Golly a few years ago, he has been well played with by the grandchildren and mended plenty of times.

This throw rug, is knitted all in one piece, although it appears to be done by squares. The only sewing was to add the knitted edging.

My tartan crochet rug, this was very time consumming, and all one piece. To gain the tartan effect, I had to make 230 chains by 2metres to thread though the rug, green through burgandy, yellow through green & burgandy, white over all. I am so pleased with the end result, even though I nearly went blind!!

I'm currently working on these two at the moment. The mauve piece is a crocheted throw rug again done as one piece, The other is all done with individual squares, and sewn together

Finished all that is left to do is the edging,

all my unfinished Rugs. (Afgans)were put on hold while I made this one for my Grandaughter's birthday, my sister Pauline knitted the edging to help me get it finished in time.But alas didnt get enough notice to get it finished in time.. Sorry you had to wait a bit longer for it Serayha...

This is another Ive just started I have to make 60 hexigons and 8half hexigon.. I think this will be very challenging and time consumming

Never take someone for granted

Hold every person close to your heart

Because you might wake up one day

And realize that you've lost a diamond

While you were too busy collecting stones

~~~~~~~
You may be only one person in the world,
but you may also be the world to one person.

By for now Cheers to all \_/\_/\_/
