Maybe it's the cold weather - but it seems there's knitting in the air! Our stitchers are busy finishing off their cushions and now keen to get knitting.... What shall we make? Which wool shall we buy? What size needles? What colours?
"I haven't done any knitting for 30 years!"
"I got in such a muddle when I tried last time!"
"I'm really keen to give it a go"
With so many ideas and so much enthusiasm, we've come up with a great flexible project designed to get rusty fingers working again. We'll start off using chunky yarn and 6mm needles. I've designed a couple of big squares (16"x16") to help our fingers get back into the knitting habit.
The first square is all one colour, using different combinations of knit and purl stitches to create patterns and effects. The second square introduces us to colour work. You can do use as many of the options or as few as you like!
And the great thing about these squares is that you can use them in different ways!
Two squares = a cushion cover
Five squares = a scarf, a wrap, or a bed runner
Nine squares = a small throw
Sixteen squares = a medium throw.
What's not to like?!
