WOYWW

 Good morning all.
Just a few bits and bobs for you to look at today.
My own crafting activities have been shelved for a while.
I will soon get back into the swing of things once I have the chance.
On my desk is the gorgeous little Bobble and Squeak hat my friend made for Ben.
It fits a treat and is so snuggly and cosy.
Just above it , you can see some lovely purple and yellow wool rovings that I bought for Maxine to make her needle-felted pansy pics with.
Here is one she made earlier..
AND
Here is my little finished cardi that I made for Ben. He loves the little sheep buttons!

Short and sweet today.
I hope you are all well.
I know many of you will be thinking of Shaz and we are sending her our positive WOYWW vibes and lots of love and good wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks for calling by.
x Jo

That's a proper little boy's cardi..love the colour and the cabling. Did you have to do anything weird with the balls of yarn this time?? Lol I guess there's no colour matching to be done....or was there ??
Maxine's little pansies are prefect, so pretty!
Hope you are well and happy,
Hugs, LLJ 12 xxx

Love Ben's cardi. He'll be proper dapper this winter. Amazing how you knew that one ball of the beige was just enough to complete the cardi ;-)

ah, so agree with thoughts and prayers for steady recovery for dear Shaz...

And what magnificent cardi you have made there for Ben, Jo, and well that sweet little Viola, Heartsease or John Jump up we also call the... is just gorgeous, used to have this particular one in front yard it would reseed each year. I think it has to be up there with poppies as fav.
Happy WOYWW! Shaz in Oz.x #25

I love the little hat and the cardi! When I had my children my mother and mother in law gave me the ones that were made for my hubby and I as children! You have created a beautiful little hand me down treasure!
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jo, just spotted your latest Ben cardi and it's just what I'm looking for for our little German man. If you can send me a copy I'd be grateful and will send something in return for the postage and trouble, but if that's too cheeky I am willing to buy it if I have details. I have been looking for that style to suit DD's choice for ages.
M's dumfing is delightful!
We're only just back from Germany and will be off again this weekend for a college reunion. I'm dying to get back and settle into normal life at home but I shouldn't be ungrateful.
hope you are well,
Jo x

Gorgeous cardigan and fab flowers from Maxine. What a talented family. Must dash, too hot for me, need to get back indoors. Couldn't live here.
