Saturday Shopping

Had a productive shopping foraging trip on Saturday.

This is my haul

A glass vase and 8 plastic knitting needles which I've turned into crochet flowers

3 lots of cotton fabric.

2 hand embroidered linens


1 stitch counter, and 1 Tunisian crochet hook.

A willow table which I started to paint white before I went to bed. It was too dark to take photos last night.

Didn't I do well?

Hope your bank holiday weekend is productive. Off to a craft fair with my mother today.

    Good results from your shopping expedition - cute little jug with the 'flowers' - and I wonder what that fabric will become?

      It's not often I find so many bargains on one day. I've been trying to find out about the jug on line. I think it may be 'end of the day' style, it's not a jug because it has no pouring lip, not a vase as it has a handle. It's intriguing. I've got an idea about the fabric. And, you may be surprised to hear I also have had time to work on my parrot pattern. More news coming soon.

      Yes I've tried Tunisian crochet, it's a bit like knit a row, cast off a row, knit a row. Not made anything with it yet, just tried it out.

      Thank you. I'm now on the lookout for colourful plastic knitting needles. A floral display that I only need to dust. Good one for using up bits of yarn.

      Thank you. I can't lay claim to the idea for the flowers. I seem to think I've seen it in a magazine somewhere. The larger of the linens, looks like hand woven. I wonder how old it is?
