Not sure about how I feel about seeing this in print!

Just back from beautiful Cotehele, Cornwall. We’re used to narrow lanes, but those today were 🙈and I’m just the passenger!

I can crochet but I’m easily daunted!

@dawnbritten.bsky.social Just bought this in the local farm shop and thought of you!

A little toy hedgehog-it’s really sweet!

Thank you! I have to run the gauntlet first, though!

I hate picking up stitches!

I inherited some hexagons from my m- in- law, so made up this little Christmas quilt, now completed. All hand sewn.

Just trying to use up some yarn oddments. I might manage to get a bag out of them, which I’ll line and add a zip. Crochet isn’t really my thing, but I’m trying to improve.

Shades of pink yarn for crochet squares.

Minnette @minnette.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

However, I did make this one from scratch.

Minnette @minnette.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Bit of a botched job! Still, the next things ( top for this and a pinafore dress ) should be better as the fabric will be easier to sew. Then she goes back to school!

Clothes for this toy- it’s for a non- verbal child. She will point to an item on a board and someone will dress Angelina for her- she can’t do it herself. It’s fiddly because I’ve no patterns and she’s small, but I’m happy to help.

Morning Clare and all. Made the bra yesterday, so it’s knicker production today. It’s for a non- verbal child who will use a screen to select clothes, then a support worker will dress toy for her.

I’m the reverse- used to U.K. terms. For yarn, I just use wpi to determine the thickness, if stuck. Really, I’m a knitter/ sew- er( where did the word ‘sewist’ come from? ), but determined to give crochet a go!

Witch’s dress for village children’s Halloween party and baby hats for Gaza- all short notice. Not great timing tbh- still, done now.

Yes, very good again. Also, because I’d been before, I got a discount!

If only I managed to finish projects!

Anyone know if this is physalis? The flower is a pretty pale blue and white trumpet.

Finished at last… only taken a few years! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just back from a block printing workshop in the village hall. Very professional, good value for money and great fun!

Some textiles with block printing on- this morning’s workshop.

Why does the self- patterning yarn match until you get near to the toe? Good job they’ll be worn with boots!

Happy Birthday Dad- long gone but still much loved!

I’m using some atm; I love it!

It’s really easy and very satisfying to do! I’ve tried using the same technique to join knitted squares, but it looked rubbish!

Minnette @minnette.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Much loved and 60+ years on, still with me!

@crikeys.bsky.social I’m only dealing with positivity today, so here’s a corner of my garden last summer!

Definitely helps! Thanks.x

Took a few things to a charity shop yesterday and came away with this! NB to self- must do more than look at the photos!

First haul and we’ve now completed three years. It’s been downhill since then!

No- I do aran knitting and I use a short, metal cable needle. The wooden one is too thick and too long for this. Thanks for trying to help - thanks to Dad, too.

Minnette @minnette.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Any ideas, or are they just odd needles?

Thanks, will watch now. Elder son has an interest in Italy, but later period.
