GLITTER CROCHET.

We wish Tamsin every success in finishing this glittery crochet number which sparkles much more than it does in the photo! There is no wool left and only one front and 1 1/4 arms so we wonder what she will do?!

UNCONFIRMED CONFIRMATION BAG.

Trish started to crochet a little bag for her niece to put her prayer books in for confirmation, but her niece had other ideas. It is white 100% acrylic cylinder with a strategically placed blue marker in the middle. Make of it what you will! My dad said it would make a good dishwasher filter, (sorry Trish)!

Celia Pym had a vision for this UFO. After being injected with much love, this sorry lifeless bag now stands clear and proud as an elephant's foot. Well done Celia.

TURQUOISE CABLE CARDIGAN.

This beautiful piece of turquoise cable has come to us courtesy of LMB, a brilliant family run re-cycling company in East London. LMB collect all sorts of discarded clothing from around London, and they kindly give the UFO's to us. LMB work with the great 'Noki' and you can find them at the old gun shop on Brick Lane. 

We are posting this piece to Camilla in Essex, who loves to cable, following patterns and going completely off road with her knitting. Good luck Camilla, and have fun with those pockets!

LITTLE HOOD.

Jo knitted this little cotton hood as part of her three year old daughter's cardigan, but then she decided it looked better without the hood. 

We posted the hood to Mrs. Robotham who used it for the base of a wig. Well done Mrs R, it looks fantastic!

TWO FLUFFY YELLOW THINGS.

Quite yellow, quite fluffy, Jean's  two fluffy yellow things are an interesting challenge. One has a cable and the one doesn't, then one has a smooth cuff where the other one doesn't. There is no yarn, and no pattern. Jean loved the yarn but couldn't decide on the pattern. On the third attempt she made a yellow jumper, but these are two false start sleeves. 

Two yellow fluffy things went to Nikki in Lenoir City TN USA. Nikki loves biking, home schools her 7 children, and still finds time to produced intricate lace patterns.  Her 14 year old daughter Diantha took 'Cuff Too Small' and has turned it into a fantasstic hat, made on 4 needles. Thank you for being involved!

LILAC RAGLANS / HEART ATTACK JUMPER.

Here is a picture of one of two lilac raglan pieces, which I presume were front and back. They are both slightly different shapes, and are the skilled work of Linda from Herefordshire.

Linda was living in Earls Court when she knitted the first piece and and Battersea for the second. She wanted to be Molly Ringwold in 'Pretty in Pink', but when she bought the yarn in Peter Jones she was sure it was more pink than that. She thought it might have been the strip lighting, but anyway, she went off it, and the pattern is lost and she's keeping the needles.

It is in a quaint 3 ply cable for a size 10. There was 32g of yarn left. Purple is a very under estimated colour. I read on the internet that it symbolizes spiritual freedom and royalty.

Hannah in Nunhead struggled with this UFO. She didn't choose it, I sent it to her. The colour and the lace pattern drove her crazy. Racking her brains over what to do, she watched 'Pretty in Pink' and was shocked to discover that they never actually got it together- the love didn't happen. As the Jerwood deadline approached, Hannah felt the stress mount up and then squeezed out the brilliant 'Heart Attack Jumper'. Hannah said she had no previous experience of heart attacks, but has learned a lot about them through the making of this piece.

ONE ARMED CLOWN FACE.

One armed clown face comes with an extra cuff which was trying to be the second arm. There is no back to the garment and there is 60g of 100% acrylic yarn left. Ellen's working drawing is coming soon, but it looks like it would fit a 2 year old, unless you can think of another use!

Sadly this piece was donated to us by St. Joseph's Hospice in Hackney. Someone didn't manage to finish it before they passed away. 

Sally from Maidenhead sorted this piece out over one weekend. She added some jewels to chear up the clown, and then turned the piece into a bag.  She unravelled the 1/4 sleeve which gave her enough yarn to knit the back piece and then added the spare sleeve as a pocket and used some of her own scraps to knit the handles. what a brilliantly jolly solution. Well done Sally!
