Welcome to
What's on Your Hooks and Needles in February 2024
Will it be an unfinished project? (goodness knows I have plenty of those)
Some yarn that has been hanging around for a loooong time? (goodness knows I have plenty of that)
A new pattern from your to-do list? (that gets longer every day)
Whatever you fancy, I'm sure you'll have a ball (of yarn).....and maybe just feel a little 'lighter' after this month, when you discover what you have accomplished. (I hope I do).
Have fun!!
Colour of the month is
BLACK.
Yes, it can be a little hard (who am I kidding, it can be very hard for a senior like me) to knit comfortably with, but just a very few black squares can make a whole blanket design POP!!
Any hoo, as I always say - NO PRESSURE......surprise yourself and each other, in this, our first 'free' month of the year.

Did some black but it is hard to knit so I did some black stripes and it was easier.
Happy Leap Day to All! We get an extra crafting day this year .... so how is it that I'm still behind???
I missed a few days, and some beautiful work posted by talented and thoughtful contributors. Love all the blankets, handwarmers, color and texture. It was a treat for the eyes to browse through the pages and see all the pretty colors.
and a big THANK YOU to Bev for guiding us through another fun month. See you in March
Yep, even an extra day didn't help me finish my Feb projects on time, Sharon.
In an attempt to get round the problem of working with black yarn I decided to try some with an added sparkle. It was definitely easier on the poor old eyes!
very pretty.
Great solution and beautiful squares! Don't you know that the children will love the sparkle, too!
How very smart of you Patricia. These super neat sparkly squares are sure to "set off" others + give a blanket some sass ⭐
LOVE a bit of sparkle!! LOVE your black squares, Patricia. :))
Where there's a will, there's a way, eh?

I posted a parcel two weeks ago. When I looked at my photos over the weekend, I realised I had not shown this one. I hope a child likes it.
great squares!
