Getting out the knitting needles and crochet hooks

It's definitely time for another Friday update.  We're all obsessed with knitting and crocheting at the moment.  Louise has discovered blocking as a technique to finish her work nicely.  She's making a gorgeous crocheted cape for her daughter.





This is a picture of the pattern.  Can't wait to see it finished.

A crocheted scarf using Noro yarn, also by Louise.
Louise's daughter made this beautiful textile print as part of her art course.
Anne was cutting out more scrap baskets to make up for Vickery, and I'm working on a knitted cloche hat which I'll photograph and put up here when it's finished.  I'm finding knitting to be wonderful for a busy mind - soothing.  I can keep my hands busy while my mind is racing.  Back to quilting soon.
