Been working on a bit (lot) of challenges... 1. MIL (she's now nearly 96) is giving us nightmares - she stopped taking her medication, and sir has finally got her docs to register him as a contact! Many conversations later and we're now having to take her for hearing tests, making her have baths (bully that I am...) she falls asleep in her chair and refuses to move and even make a drink for herself! All the docs want to do is put her in a home... no thought of owt else! (Carers maybe? it's not as if she's likely to live for another 10 or 20 years!!)
Mummy burned her leg with a freezer pack a few weeks ago... early morning trip to 2 different hospitals ensued! Complete with baby in tow! Big Li'l Miss stayed at home with daddy!! She's not doin' too bad now, but can't have any sun on her leg for 2 years at least!
Tatting?? What's tatting?? Vbg
Truth be known not had much time between the above, making jam, picking fruit, etc... but I had a lightbulb moment when I got an email from a wool manufacturer... teaching some bloggers tatting at the weekend... and wondered if it was feasible to tat with Double Knitting cotton!!
Look:
Not finished only done a bit... but we'll see what transpires... Ain't sure what it'll be... yet!!
Chat soon
Well it has been a bit quiet!!! I used wool and made a top back in the 70's when needle tatting came out. I've still got it somewhere. I didn't like it (either the results or the method of doing it) so went straight back to my shuttles.
