Having most of a big ball of very garish orange, I had the bright idea of looking for pumpkin-coloured knits, something for little Gdcs come the H-word in October.

Found a simple pattern for a pumpkin-faced ‘treat bag’ which I thought would go down well, but having knitted half of it, I don’t think there’s going to be quite enough for two. And since I can’t possibly make for one without the other.....
Please tell me I’m not alone!

I took some yarns to the craft group I usually go to because we're knitting squares and other crafters were pleased.
Mind you, I did bring home two balls which were just right to finish a blanket for DGD.

Yes, and DGD said " I can cuddle this blanket and think of you whenever I miss you"
So it was very worthwhile.

Bought some wool to knit a sweater for myself at the start of lockdown. It is coming along a real treat and cost the pricely sum of £8-50p. Hope it washes ok.

It's lovely when life throws us these special moments isnt it Callistemon?
I'd knit till my fingers seized up if I got that reception smile
