November 2010 – What we have been doing this year

We started with a review of the Knit and Natter, which was successful again.  We discussed what we are going to do next year [a copy of the programme to be published shortly] and the venue change for next year’s Knit and Natter [to Dunchurch Village Hall].

Then we had a show and tell of our work:

We had a wonderful collection of machine and hand knitted items, and a little crochet too!

Items for babies and children:

This blanket is from a pattern in Machine Knitting Monthly October 2010 – hot off the press!

A child’s hat

Multicoloured tuck stitch blanket

Seamless teddies

More tuck stitch, I believe

Adult garments:

This is in mercerised cotton

Pattern from Machine Knitting Monthly February 2010

Yarn purchased at last year’s Knit and Natter from Uppingham Yarns

Here I am in front of the camera for a change, wearing a waterfall cardi from a Posh Frocks pattern, knitted in Uppingham Merino, with a corkscrew scarf designed by our very own Pat Banyard-Smith [click here for pattern]

The same waterfall cardi knitted in crepe

Accessories and other things

A fairisle patterned bag

a design prototype modelled by June’s doll – she will give us a picture of the real thing when it is finished
