Patriotic BUNTING



This bunting is deal for any celebration, but particularly topical this summer for the World Cup football and the Le Grand Depart cycling.

The knitted 15mm braid is approx. 374cm long; there are 17 pennants; each one is approx. 15cm along the horizontal, and 18cm deep.

I’ve used new chunky wool, in red, white, blue and cream colours.
I’m currently knitting a second length of bunting in pinks/ purples/ pastel shades – and I also have wool to do another one in vibrant assorted colours. I guess you could add detachable letters to them for a particular event e.g. “congratulations” or to advertise a shop/stall e.g. “wool-n-art” …. Or I could knit greens, reds, whites etc for “Happy Christmas”. 
LATEST NEWS:  I'm delighted to say this bunting now adorns a beach hut in Jersey! What a fantastic final resting place!

SHAUN THE SHEEP


SHAUN THE SHEEP - NEW, HAND-KNIT SOFT TOY
This soft toy is from Alan Dart’s pattern PBN E2240. It was fun to knit, but a challenge to sew up!
He's stuffed with Habico non-allergenic, washable, polyester filling, which has BS numbers for fire safety and cleanliness, plus European Standard EN71
It has been knitted in a combination of 100% DK cream wool for the body, and all the black wool, plus the cream sweater, is 100% acrylic wool
He’s about 21cm tall.
I also have the Alan Dart Gromit pattern, so that’s my next project, and then I may try Shaun again in chunky wool, now I’ve mastered the sewing up!
