my thoughts on all sorts of creative things

Deal, Kent

Last weekend, as part of Mother’s Day weekend, one my daughters took me to Deal in Kent. It had nice weather and a nice beach.

I also made a scarf for myself using multi-coloured wool.

The New Embroidery Group

I went to see an embroidery exhibition called “Threading our way: a retrospective”. I saw a hanging in the exhibition, which included a small square that I made with the group 10 years ago! I stitched the word “peace” in Arabic. I forget about it and it was a nice memory to remember!

Workshops

Last month I attended two workshops. One about creative French knitting, demonstrated by a student who is doing a Master’s degree in Design.

1000 crochet squares

After making 1000 crochet squares of different colours I made this king size bed blanket from 676 squares. The remaining pieces will be used for a future project!
