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.

Doing a few handwarmers at the moment using up yarn from previous blankets
Bright and cheerful! They will be well-loved, and warm.
So pretty, Diane.
LOVE these colours together, Diane. :))
Pretty colours, these will be beautiful hand warmers Diane.
Great news Diane! Hope you caught the picture of your recent blanket being opened + enjoyed by the volunteers in The Barn this week ✔️
Oh no no no Karen. let me come clean. Only for that project. I can knit on for years with my stash, but I wanted to keep to those colours.
I would had had to drive 60 kms each way to buy more , and I wanted to mail it off with other knitted squares.
please don't worry about me, I will never run out of yarn lol.
Oh phew! Ohhhh.... I can stop fretting about you now, ha ha x. My heart did 'badoom badoom' a bit loud for you initially - but I realised what you were getting at once I regained a regular beat xx
I thought they had fixed my problem but it's upside down again. Back to the store I go.
Pat, I don't know if you saw my comment last month, but if you click on "Edit" and then on the photo you should be able to rotate it.
