Lovely Sunny Knitty sort of Saturday.

 Table ready, Soup is on and Pudding is in the oven.

 The reason for this Saturday fun is a long story...

My Aunt Anne, wife of my favourite Uncle Tony, died just before Christmas.  When my cousins Simon and Megan were selling her home Simon mentioned that there was a heap of craft things in the house and would I like them... well how could I have said no thanks.

 Back seat of my car chocka!
 Boot Chocka!

Anyway there was heaps and heaps of the most wonderful of all crafty things some of which I still don't know what they are, a lot will go to Charity, a lot went in amongst my crafty things and lots of threads went to Nerys who has bought a Sewing Machine!!

Then there was this Wool...


 And amongst all this wool...

Were two sheets of instructions of how to make 'Wrap with Love' blankets... so I started making squares from Anne's wools planning to finish off what she wanted to make...  I got three squares done and then realized it was going to take me forever to make the 28 needed to make one 'Wrap'!

So what ya gonna do?   I called in some of my knitting friends...

It was a lovely and funny day... seeing everyone around table knitting and chatting and laughing and did we get some more squares done... but I'm not half way there yet so...  I might have to hold another 'Slave for a Day' and sit and chat and lunch and Knit for 'Wrap for Love'.  Tough eh!  :-)
