OCTOBER 2021 THEME - WAITING TO BE CHOSEN
To Our October 2021 Theme
~ WAITING TO BE CHOSEN ~
Have you, like me, had yarn in your stash for a very long time, just waiting to be chosen, but you have passed over it in favour of other, newer yarn? Or, perhaps you have bought some yarn from a charity shop, never used by its previous owner, and it was just sitting there waiting…… then it was chosen by you!
Well, October could be the month when this yarn has its chance to shine, to fulfill its destiny and be chosen to help warm a child in SA, or perhaps even make a toy!
Appliqués or small needlepoint pictures may be at the bottom of a drawer or your work basket too, so please dig them out, for they too have been waiting to be chosen to enhance a square or a blanket that a child will treasure!
Do you have a pattern that has been on your ’to do’ list for a while? Well this could be the month you try it!
This month isn’t really an inspirational theme, but I hope it will encourage us all to look at what we have, and do what we can for the children. I hope we can also encourage and inspire each other!
Seeing photos of the children at distributions always motivates me to do as much as I can to help them….. and I know that I’m not on my own, we all wish we could do more!
The children in SA will welcome everything you make in any pattern or colour: blankets, squares, hats, hand warmers and toys!
So happy crafting everyone!
Our Colour of the Month for PJ’s is PURPLE there are so many beautiful shades!

The last of my new patterns for this month (I think!). This one is called a Twisted Granny Square.
-

I like your ’Twisted Granny’ and the colours Patricia, it has created an interesting pattern. The colours in the background shrub are nice too!
-

Aww,, what a pretty square, Patricia!!!!
It kinda reminds me of a windmill or a whirlpool.......AWESOME!!!!
-
-
The shrub is just round the corner from the back door and is exactly the right size and height for taking a quick photo of one square!

What a cute square.
I will have to look it up and give it a try... I am guessing the first round is tricky and then it becomes a little bit easier.

The pattern I was using seemed overly complicated so I did the first round or so following the pattern and then worked the rest out from looking at the illustration! I'll be interested to see how you get on, Amy.
