Sew Wot Tuesday

We all met at Jude's home today, and the dog, a beautiful merle blue border collie, was extra pleased to see us.  Perhaps these ladies will play with me, he thought.  Sadly, no, he was left to make his own fun outside, while we went and chatted in the house.  And as always, there was plenty to chat about.  I had taken along a bundle of old Christmas Craft magazines, these were flicked through and taken home.  Once read, they will end up in the op shop to be recycled once more.

There was a little show and tell, all wool this time, and strangely not a quilt in sight.  Mary had made this pretty crochet blanket using those tiny little balls of wool available in the shops these days.  So pretty, looks nice and warm too.

Then she added a pair of socks.  These really looked like tiger colours to me.

Helen had socks to show as well, a child's pair with pretty turquoise accents.

Carol had been busy knitting again for Neo Natal babies, with three sets ready  to be delivered.

And I took along my recently finished little boy's cardigan.  This was knitted using hand spun wool given to me by my late friend  Merilyn.  I had been using the cream wool for my socks, with added 4ply sock wool, and wasn't to sure what to make with the brown wool.  Then I had a bright idea, looked through my patterns, and made this cozy little cardigan.

Everyone was busy chatting away, and knitting.  My knitting was soon put away as I couldn't concentrate on the shaping rows and talk as well.  Then the morning tea trolly was wheeled into the room, mmm, how tasty it all looked.  There is no fear of anyone going hungry at our morning teas.

Plenty for everyone

Many thanks indeed to Jude for being the hostess for the morning, we do all enjoy our get togethers.  And the weather was glorious too, fine and sunny with coolish temperatures, so much brighter than those cloudy cold still days we have been experiencing lately.
