The weather has turned very autumnal, so I have taken up my knitting again.
This week I made a little poppy themed twiddle mitt. The little flowers are very random - free crochet. i.e. I just make them up as I go along!
I need to find a few more bits and bobs to stitch on as twiddlers.
Below is Max modelling the pure silk, tie dyed dress that I made for my final exam at college - wait for it... 50 years ago! It was only worn probably once and is in perfect condition and beautifully made - if I say so myself. (I was awarded a distinction for it). It fits Max beautifully although I'm not sure she has an occasion to wear it. She shared it on Insta and got rave reviews - lol. I always say fashion goes in cycles.

The centre panel is free machined and beaded. and the back is tied with a long sash with the same design down its length.
See you soon!

Love the latest twiddler and that dress really brought back wonderful memories of when you made it.

The dress is beautiful, that brings back a few memories for me when I was at college in the 70's. The new twiddler is amazing, anyone lucky enough to receive that would be so happy. I keep thinking I should make something like it for my mum who is 94 as she is always cold and it might be suitable to keep her hands warm but we'll see. Look forward to seeing you Saturday and wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x10x
That dress is beautiful - what a lot of work but what a terrific result. I hope Maxine gets to wear it somewhere.
Love the latest Twiddler - so glad it is twiddler season again.

Double Wow's this week - what a gorgeous twiddler, poppies are a favourite of mine and really pop against the greens. And Wow what a stunning dress - I'm not surprised you got a distinction for it and Max looks fabulous in it.
I hope you have a great crop and I look forward to hearing all about it, and seeing photos, next week!

Wow that's a stunning dress - it is a shame it hasn't been worn more. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, will be lovely!! Happy WOYWW, Cindy xx #14
Wow, Jo, that is a stunning dress and now you can call it vintage as well! It fits Max perfectly! Must look her up on Instagram! The twiddler is another winner! I can see why making them is better suited to cooler temperatures - a bit like Christmas cards - you don't want to make them in the summer! Have a lovely week! xx zsuzsa #16
