WOYWW 717 Twiddling

Hi all, I’m back for our Wednesday blog hop care of Miss Julia at The Stamping Ground. 

I’m crocheting twiddles again this week. 

I was so touched by a photo sent to me from the partner of a lady with dementia. 

Apparently she talks to the twiddler I made for her and cuddles it - doesn’t it make you glad to make them? (I’ve edited it to shield her face, for privacy). 

I’m still working on the design of my big project and have a new question for you, if you’d like to participate. 

        Here’s the question: 

What 3 things (not monuments) does Paris make you think of?

I know everyone thinks of the Eiffel Tower but I need to go beyond that. 

More details soon, I promise! 

It was our monthly farmers and craft market in our village hall on Sunday. It was sleeting outside but we went for a bit. 

Bella and Gracie are doing assiduous radiator worship at the mo, but send you all purrs. 

When they’re not competing for lap space…

And finally:

Take care and happy WOYWW!

WOYWW 716 Interesting Times

Hi all!

Here’s Bella helping me with my latest bit of crochet. 

It’s the Frida Kahlo shade of Louisa Harding’s yarn Pittura. 

II’ve done one front and am now starting the back. It’s 4 ply but grows quickly in herringbone stitch. 

I’ve also done a sketch for my new project. I’d be interested to know what this reminds you of, if anything, please. Jan, you know, but you could add a teeny clue if you wish. I’ll be telling you more about it in the next few weeks. 

Other aspects of this have had me doing a lot more work but I enjoyed doing this sketch. 

This photo of Bella was a surprise as well. 

She and Gracie both send purrs to you all. 

And finally…

I’ll try to get round more desks this week. 

Take care all and happy WOYWW

WOYWW 715 Twiddles

Hi, I’ve been twiddling these past couple of weeks, in between a journey to the New Forest and then to near Exeter. More about that later after my desk.

 A friend who’s a beekeeper asked me for a twiddle sleeve for her partner, with animals, a bee etc. 

Although I don’t enjoy the knitting of cannula sleeves now, I’ve carried on making twiddles and sent three bags full yesterday to women in the Handmade for Dementia group on Facebook who’ll make cannula sleeves for hospital patients with dementia.  

I had time to make them as we had to go to the New Forest for the funeral of an old friend - a sad end. 

As we were west of the dreaded M25 we went on to Crediton, Devon, for a few days to see my cousin, her husband and family. 

Here’s my cousin and I outside the Fisherman’s Cot, near Tiverton. She’s standing on a step, btw!

Devon has lots of chocolate box pretty thatched roofs and narrow, winding lanes. 

My headaches resolved into a nasty sinusitis, and I’m now on antibiotics as it’s affecting my lungs. Fingers crossed, I’ve caught that early. 

Gracie and Bella were glad to see us home and send you all purrs. 

And finally…

Take care and happy WOYWW
