Knit for Pussy Riot!
I wondered how long it would take for someone to do this (via The Drum)
When Father Ted did knitting.
Well, not Father Ted exactly (that was just to lure you in. But Father Ted’s housekeeper, Pauline McLynn.
From The Sun … “Pauline McLynn — best known as tea-loving Mrs Doyle on the hit comedy — is selling her own range of hand-knitted cosies. Named after her character’s famous catchphrase, the ‘A Go Ons’ can be bought through a link on the star’s website, with prices starting from 50. Pauline launched the range on the same day as her 50th birthday — with just 50 of the limited edition crafty cosies up for grabs.”
I’m making a Liberty quilt
Despite looking about 21, my mum has a significant birthday next month. What to give her? A quilt, of course. And for such a significant birthday? A LIBERTY quilt.
I bought most the squares from Liberty Charms on Etsy (she has the most amazing supply of vintage Liberty fabrics, like the 24 Liberty Lawn squares, below)
And then for the edging (and to keep it looking more contemporary), I edged it with some of the brand new Liberty Lifestyle Craft Fabrics. Here’s a few of my favourites …
Blue Copeland Cotton Craft Fabric
Turquoise Garnett Cotton Craft Fabric
Blue Dorothy Cotton Craft Fabric
Of course, when I say I’ve done all this, I haven’t. I’ve only just started on the patchwork top. Who knows how long this will take … but I’m looking forward to doing it all.
