** knitting n nattering - again **

Hello there - well the finale of the summer holidays was fast approaching and the new school term would soon be here, so some of the girls and myself had a second knit/crochet and natter morning at our local garden centre café.

We were still intent on getting some 'flowers for memories' made and sent off at the beginning of September to Sheila at Yarndale for her to display and then she would sell them made up into wreaths, corsages and brooches and the funds raised will then be sent to the Alzheimer's Society

 

 

 

Jean a friend from Wolverhampton was on the island for a weeks holiday so she came and joined us with her crochet - a lovely road trip scarf

 

Pam a new lady came and joined us and is trying to get to grips with learning to crochet - I love the concentration there and yes she got the hang of it - let us hope she comes along again!

 

 

My grandson H came and joined us as to make a card for his mates birthday, so there he sat with his cup of tea and his card making (he had a cheese scone too a bit later)

 

 

So far this little lot is what myself, Coral, Bridget, Georgina, Tarnia, Sarah, Tracy and Liz have come up with (I still have more to collect from some of the girls and will do a final picture)

Aren't they an absolutely stunning sight and we are very proud to say they will be going from the Isle of Wight to help this fantastic cause

 

Thanks for popping by

So a few days later I collected these from Liz

 

 

and these from Sarah

 

 

there are Yarndale flowers

 

 

there are bigger Yarndale flowers

there are roses

 



 

there are poppies

 

 

there are anemones

 

 

there are sunflower look alike in different colours

 

 

there are large and small and curly ones

 

 

and there are sunflowers - 20 of them - most of us made sunflowers!!

 

 

and here is our final picture - 119 beautiful flowers

 

 

we all signed a little ticket to send with our flowers so that the Isle of Wight can be shown on the Yarndale map to say where the flowers came from

 

 

all packaged up and they have been sent to Sheila

 

 

Do you remember this work in progress?

 

 

They are FINISHED and I popped a label on them with the details on

 

 

with a little note on the back

 

 

The socks have been posted and are going to Yarndale and I noticed that the PO Box number is the same as where the flowers are going.  The socks have been requested by Christine from here to then pass on to good causes after the Yarndale show.
