Could you use Hermes collection? (other couriers are available)

4 miles to the Hermes collection point and further to other couriers. Collection from home addresses is no longer available - at least in this area.

I spent a lot of time and effort knitting loads for my a friends grandchild, at her request, found out later that they had gone in the bin as her daughter didn't like hand knitted sh*te.

I have had similar

I spent a lot of time and effort knitting loads for my a friends grandchild, at her request, found out later that they had gone in the bin as her daughter didn't like hand knitted sh*te. don't know if my mate ever fund out but her daughter told someone she didn't know i was related to. still make me angry, that child is a mother now, she could have at least taken them to the charity shop.
Last yearI sent to the charity shop, after finally daring in the ends, a dress I had knitted for my niece who is now a grandmother

That’s awful - and so rude - I would have been very upset - grrr

Thanks for your responses dont know why I am thinking of that when we have so much more to worry about.
happy crafting everyone.
At least next person I knit for will be appreciative ME

scotzsue , what a fabulous jumper for John. Do hope he will appreciate it. And I'm very much in favour of knitting something for yourself.
Now that I don't have so much space, I do keep to one project at a time. But then, all my arty stuff takes up an awful lot of space in here. Crochet is for relaxing.

Sue, that's awful to be unappreciated. Hand made goods are so much more special. Even my daughter, who has very strange ways, appreciates even the smallest knitted or crocheted item and makes them last forever.. Poor Eden has clothes with sleeves half way up her arms. . I wish I had your talent

This thread is an inspiration but I don't have ability.

Stuffed toy nurse waiting for ears and mask to be made and arms attached. A friend who is a learning disability nurse asked for one for one of her clients recently so I volunteered.

Stop belittling yourself young lady!!!!!!

Exactly !

 

[The Dobbsters]

Thankyou for saying it for me!

 

[scotzsue]

movan you make beautiful things, you may not be able to do some of the crafty things others can do, but then neither can I.

 

[Puddleduck]

Lots of things I can't do

 

[denisejoe]

Me too. I'm OK for small crochet items and can only do a few stitches at a time because my fingers hurt but I do enjoy it. I can also do dressmaking but useless at anything too big!

I think it looks like a batwing cardigan with cross over (double breasted?) front. One front knitted edge to edge and the other in Irish Crochet or similar. Obviously we don't know what the back is like but I would do that edge to edge and possibly in two part withe a join in the middle - or even a double start in the centre back.

On my "to make" list but a long way down as I need to finish the bed covers first.

Oh Helen, you made me laugh. Janine told us it directs to I guess scenes of a sexual nature... And you say, "I need to finish my bedcovers first.". .

 

[davanne]

Thankyou for saying it for me!

And for me Joy you have made some beautiful things

Ditto from me

movan , I'm sure you'd tell Eden, so I am telling you: no comparing. Be good at what YOU do, no what someone else does. And that's another beautiful rainbow.

 

[Janine]

Finished my c2c join-as-you-go scrap blanket today. Quite pleased with the result ?

And a little rainbow as a reminder of these difficult times
