Once more, joining in with Janine from the Rainbow Hare blog, for her Wool on Sundays. In the last week, I've done a minuscule amount of work on those crocheted squares that I wrote about last week. I think the tally would be 2 squares enlarged by a few rounds :-/
This 'knitting sheep' became a favourite and has lots of fussy-cut hexagons cut out of it...
So plenty more of my 'knitting sheep' fabric to play with!
And then filled it with some yarns...
And I've lost count of the times I've made the Judy Newman Dillybag using the themed fabrics for fellow knitters.
There are useful pockets in the lining too. This fabric was in Spotlight and I only bought a metre. I've just got a tiny bit left now after lining two Dillybags.
This bag was made in 2014 for my Secret Santa partner in my knitting group...
Next week I may have a new knitting project started; it will be good to be working on something in the evenings again!
So I thought I would write a post about my 'knitting/crocheting themed fabric collection' instead.
The fabrics have been bought at various times over a number of years...
And what did I find last year in a yarn shop in Skagway?? Yes, even when I'm on the other side of the world from home, I check out yarn and fabric shops! Lol.
I'll finish the post with some photos of how I've used these fabrics...
One year I was matched with a knitter in a Secret Santa Swap, so one of the gifts I made was a fabric basket...
This is the one I made last year for the Chookyblue SS Swap...
And one big hexagon stitched to the front...my partner loves mice! ( The embroidery design is 'Lily Mouse' and is a design by Susan of Threads on My Socks; available from her Etsy shop)
