Other Hobbies

Welcome

thank you for visiting my blog.

On a post recently, I commented about spending time on my other hobbies, and a request was made by by a reader that they would love to know what my other hobbies are.

Well there is knitting, nothing flash there, just peggy squares for blankets to be given to the disadvantaged.  This is one I finished in January this year, I knitted it together in one piece. 

 I have made individual squares for the next,  and have done enough for a half blanket.

There is embroidery, in which I specialise in PHD's - Projects Half Done ... these were all finally completed this year after languishing embroidered, but not finished, for longer than I care to admit...  

I crochet, but not as much now as I did, as some arthritis in my wrists swears when I do too much.

And then there is Bobbin Lace making.  I started about fifteen years ago, but dropped it when my husband was ill, and then everything was packed for the sale of the house, during the three years in the rental, and finally unpacked recently, so I am starting from scratch again, with some very basic designs of bookworms.

  

This next photo shows the bookworm still on the pattern, known as a pricking, with some bobbins. 

So that is some of what is keeping me occupied and not blogging as much.
