January 2015

Welcome to our first post for 2015! The main topic was the AGM, reviewing our last years activities and looking forward and planning this years.The charity competition will be xmas top/jumper for any size, child or adult.

This meetings competition results:
Beginners:
Stephanie was the only entry and made a  brightly coloured clown. There is long story with this item. The pattern had been found in an old magazine but part of it was missing due to someone cutting out something on the other side of the page. Confident that it could be found from somewhere, Stephanie put aside the yarn and kept a lookout. Well she looked and looked but years went by and no sign of it. I think at least 5 years had passed when Vee joined our group in the latter part of last year and she brought in some magazines to recycle amongst the group and lo and behold THE magazine with full uncut pattern!!

Advanced:
1st - Vee made a pink multi coloured top with garter stitch collar and bands.
Joint 2nd - Valerie made a necklace with innovative clasps from icing nozzles. Have a look at the photo. Sue made an Ann Brown design jacket in Grigna.
3rd - Phyllis with a 2x2 rib hat and scarf.

Yes it is an icing nozzle! How innovative is that.
