December 2019 Theme - CLEAR THE DECKS

Posted by Patricia Underwood on November 30, 2019 at 9:08am in Historical MONTHLY THEMES 2012 - JULY 2021

Welcome to the theme for December:

CLEAR THE DECKS

I'm sure we all have bags or boxes that look like this:

Look at each ball carefully.

Is there enough yarn left to make 1 Plain Jane?

No? Then maybe a 2 colour stripe or diagonal,

a 3 colour stripe, or a granny square?

Or, if you're thinking big, how about taking inspiration from this masterpiece?

(Take a bow, Amy from the USA).

Of course it may be that you have a pile of squares waiting for the ends to be darned in. This is the month to finish them off and get them sent to South Africa.

If you like making hats, hand-warmers or toys, this is also the month for you as these are ideal uses for those partially used balls of yarn.

So, no excuses -

there's something for everyone this month -

and think how good it will feel to Clear those Decks!

After a morning sewing in all the ends of wool here's my last, and very late, contribution to this theme:

  I hope you had some good music playing while you did this, Karen - I find that makes the task a little easier! These are beautiful - thank you so much.

I've really enjoyed my first time hosting a theme, which is just as well because I've volunteered for two months next year! Thank you to everyone for joining in so enthusiastically and making my job such a pleasure.
