I have given myself a time after lunch to cross stitch every day and I have found a couple of quilts that need finishing too. I really do have plenty of stash to keep me busy during my twelve week isolation. xKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373043952789494619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-41904475285153777832020-03-25T07:44:50.634+00:002020-03-25T07:44:50.634+00:00I look forward to seeing how the wool knits up, I ...I look forward to seeing how the wool knits up, I could do with a pair of socks this morning with it being rather chilly!Crimson Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13701829170555353323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-49088941706757892632020-03-25T02:47:47.366+00:002020-03-25T02:47:47.366+00:00yesterday I sewed cushion covers which had been cu...yesterday I sewed cushion covers which had been cut out for months.

I'm liking that pattern, I think I saved it last time you knitted them?<br />I've just finished stitching an Easter exchange (that will be on hold but still needs to be finished off). A crochet blanket of odd bits and using some of the new wool I bought last week. I cast on a pair of socks at the weekend too. <br />Take care Jo,hope dad is doing well x Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863899802782756191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-74944195835909489542020-03-24T20:34:34.599+00:002020-03-24T20:34:34.599+00:00Ooh, love both the pattern & colour of your ne...Ooh, love both the pattern & colour of your next socks. Yes, we are both busy with our crafts & I've even quilted one of the small charity quits & am going to put the next one on the machine today. Also crocheting Lucy's dahlia rug & am about half way there. Been weeding in the garden, taking out some things that have grown too large & working out how we can make the garden on a big slope easier to manage in our old age. Oh dear, wonder how long all this will last? Not supposed to peak here till June, so that is a looooong time to stay in our own space. Take care, stay safe & big hugs to all the family.Susan Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945482062858126629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-26854215957285047062020-03-24T15:56:27.327+00:002020-03-24T15:56:27.327+00:00I wish I had that stash right now!

Absolutely no idea or plan what I will do with them after that. It is calm, mindless activity which requires enough brain to keep me from fretting about the current shape of our world, but does not need too much concentration.<br /><br />It is also, amusingly, a bit like a jigsaw puzzle - you know when you plan to put in Just One More Piece, and find yourself still there an hour later . . .Bag End Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190496929132717769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-9063074172267200872020-03-24T12:11:14.205+00:002020-03-24T12:11:14.205+00:00Lovely you feel able to cast on your socks again e...Lovely you feel able to cast on your socks again especially with such lovely yarns.
