Found this thin yarn in a Chinese bazaar in Almerimar so I’m attempting a lightweight scarf/ wrap. It’s teaching different stitches I guess but doesn’t grow very quickly ;( We are in benidorm now until after Easter as my sister is flying in, so I will do my best to do at least a Poppy a day

@Debs .. I don't think David G has messages .. could you ask him to point Bev to our thread please when you speak to him ... I think she may have some to drduct too .. not sure.

Yes he does Joy, but please consider my street cred

this is a girly knitting thing, I don't really get knitting, I really don't get crochet

But Bev is producing for her local WI or similar, but she will join in this weekend and produce some for this cause

I must say that these poppies is about the best use I have ever seen knitting crocheting put to

 

[Chrysalis]

@Puddleduck I have been very naughty
I have ordered a set of KnitPro circular needles to give me lots of sizes and different lengths of cable.
Do I need them?...........NO
Do I want them?...........YES but how do I explain them away? Can't exactly say to Derek - these old things I've had them for ages.
Note to self: Must be around when the postman calls

Pamela, I only use circular needles, I’ve never been able to get the hang of normal ones.Knit pro are great needles. I have a lovely set of Addi Click and have just acquired a matching set of interchangeable crochet hooks

 

[Chrysalis]

I’ve made another 19 poppies. I think that makes the total now 49,706

That’s what we all said before we learnt David. Don’t worry, you are among friends here, we are a very supportive, inclusive group. With perseverance and hard work you will soon pick it up. Your secret is safe with us.

@Ven I love the look of that yarn and I don't usually go for multi-coloured but the shading of that is lovely and it's pretty when worked too.

@Chrysalis I'm looking forward to trying out the needles when they come. There have been different reviews about them unscrewing and so on - I hope I'm not disappointed.

I ought to have a break from crochet in case my hands start to seize up BUT that means I will have started yet another project which doesn't get finished.

@movan Did you ever discover your granddaughter's favourite colour for her cardigan and did you take up that knitting course? Do you want any patterns - knitted or crocheted?

 

[SueTayBon]

@movan the picture is of all the poppies made so far. 11 of them made since I last deducted from the total so the new total is 49,714

 

[Puddleduck]

I have managed to get some red yarn and some black yarn. The black has sparkly bits. Both balls came from Poundworld and cost £1 for the red and 50p for the black as it was in the sale

Hope to get more poppies done after the weekend.

 

[Mrsambulancekidd]

I am going to be brave and dive into my wool stash, I may be some time, if any of you could see my stash you would understand.......dive, dive, divvveeeeeee

[Ven]

I have to say I have a ridiculous amount of wool acumulated in a month or so, which living in a van is a worry

Is it just me that starts umpteen projects just to pull apart
and start something else because I don’t like the look of it?

 

[Anthea M]

All looking lovely ladies I'm afraid my crochet hook has been unused! ( although it did have s little jolly to France and back!!) a quiet weekend for us so may have another bash!!
@snailtrailer Pam hope you are feeling well .

 

[scousebird]

Here's my current project. Only done 42 squares. I could be some time . Just debating whether to do one big one for the centre and put the little ones round the outside?

 

[movan]

I was told today that a lady was talking about coming back and buying my pompom bag.....good stuff....

 

[snailtrailer]

@scousebird For a minute there I thought I was looking at my stack of cream squares. I think I've done about 40 and still going. I'm thinking of putting the coloured squares in as the black squares in a crossword puzzle grid so the majority will be cream squares. Way to go.

I am feeling really guilty about buying those circular needles. I smuggled them into my workroom but not unpacked them yet. I am vowing never never never to buy secretly again. It's doing my head in.

I love that!
From what you've said, Derek sounds like a really good bloke. Take him a cup of coffee, let him see how excited you are, and just tell him! You know he'll be really happy that you're happy.

Don't feel guilty, I sneaked off and bought a Shetland pony, MrA did figure out that he was mine in the end, but he loves him.....

Lol. Did you hide him in the pantry ... and every time you opened the door and he was stood there looking at you, you said it was the Sunday roast?!! How the heck can you hid a Shetland pony!!!!!

That is one bonus of keeping horses at a local livery yard and having your own trailer to pick him up.
The thing is I only had two horses at the time, now I only have Chester(the Shetland).

 

[Hils and Glenns]

@movan I've finished doing poppies for Ripon. What do you need poppies for? I'll do you some but I'm also committed to doing some for our village.

 

[Ven]

Another 9 poppies done so that’s 24 total

49,667 to go

 

[Puddleduck]

I was at The Scrap Store today. Not much of use to me this time round but I got felt and buttons and a very small hank of red mohair. Also we have booked a cruise for when our "lodgers" leave so I will be taking crochet hooks and needles / thread.

Must go and get some quilting done now..... with a motorhome trip and a cruise before the quilt is due to be finished I need to get my skates on
