Yarn Bombing in Blairgowrie

This is just a quick post, as I have been away, and shock horror, despite taking it with me, I have not been knitting. Actually that is not strictly true, as I did a tiny bit of knitting on the train to Scotland, but after that it just stayed in my bag. 

But here is a little bit of yarnbombing that I saw in Blairgowrie, and thought would be nice to photograph. I could not see any information as to who had done it, but it was in a little garden near the war memorial, so I suspect that was what it was to commemorate.  But now I am back home, and hopefully back to the needles.

Just a reminder that my Ginx Woolly Linx party for August is now running. Click on the photo above or at the top of the page to find the party. I would love to see what you have been working on this month.

A Few More 2CVs

2CV orders are a bit like buses. You wait for ages, and then two come along at the same time. The first order was for this black and yellow Charleston 2CV. I really like it when I have to slightly adapt my pattern. Much more interesting for me, and I was really pleased with how the side panels turned out. Here is an actual 2CV Charleston, to show you what I was aiming at.

And then just a few days later I got another order for a red 2CV. Both are knitted from my pattern Henrietta 2CV, and you can read about the original car that inspired me here.  And if you would like me to make a 2CV for you, here is link to the page on Etsy where you can place on order. Although making these little cars is part of my business, it is always very cheering when I hear someone is happy with their purchase.

Ginx Linx Party August

Thanks again for linking up to the July Ginx Linx Party. Last week I went on a little trip to Amsterdam. Knitting and crochet do seem very popular in The Netherlands, so I was not surprised to see a basket with some knitting in the Airbnb that we staying in. I have just read that the word knitting derives from the Dutch word knutten - to knot.

But I digress, so back to the favourite features from the July party.

Raji of Raji's Craft Hobby has made this cute little watermelon pincushion, and there is a really clear tutorial so you can make your own.

This lovely cushion is on Nephi-Handmade. I love the bobble heart design.

And there are more bobbles and a tutorial on Cozy Woodland Cottage Knits, where Arjaye makes a cute little bag. 

Finally I could not resist picking the two dinosaurs on Lalka Crochetka made for her baby nephew.
