Imagination
Your Imagination:
We learn by observation, we see what
others have done and build on it. This way we develop our view of the world. In
the first picture we see a simple crochet container, in the second picture we
see what imagination can do with a simple crochet tray.
What can you DO?

Why Pure Wool
Your
time and skill is valuable and the pieces you knit and crochet should be appreciated.
Choose a great looking pattern and only use the best yarn. This way hard work
and skill will be appreciated.
Pure
Wool is one of the best fibres to use its natural and sustainable. Our ancestors have being using wool to keep
us warm for thousands of years.
A
gift of a well made piece in wool is a gift for life.

The Use of Colour
Colour and Your Knitting:
We are all tempted to be a little adventurous in
our choice of colours. Our friend in the hat has his own view of colour.
Take
your inspiration from mother nature. Look at the colours around you and
introduce these colours into your knitting in small amounts.
Colour is good for
you, it helps brighten the day and draw out the inspiration in you.

More Blankets for the Neonatal unit
Blankets for Premature Babies:
Over the summer we have received a number of blankets from knitters
around Ireland. These blankets are for the premature babies in the neonatal
unit in Waterford Regional Hospital. Today I delivered a full bag of blankets
to the unit. Staff at the unit asked me to thank everybody for their beautiful blankets
as they are badly needed.
We hope you will continue to support the neonatal unit by
knitting blankets for the babies. The knit day next year will be on Saturday the 8th of June 2013 from 10.30
until 2.00.

Question: who's knitting?
We would love to hear from you. Please let us know who you are and tell us what you are knitting. We will showcase your projects here on our blog.
The picture is a christening shawl Bernadette knit for our granddaughter. The shawl is knit from a very old knitting pattern using Tivoli cruise 4ply cotton. Bernadette grafted the 16 panels together to make the finished garment. Click here to see more pictures of the shawl.
