Goals and Challenges

Good morning to all or few

Now you should know that I crochet/knit for an Australian group - Knit 4 Charities for the last 6 months or so.  I believe that charity starts at home and I like keeping my hands and mind busy.  This gives me a chance to try out new patterns and items that will fit SOMEBODY.

Well, Sue from Mrs Twins has a goal in memory of her grandmother in which she wishes to make blankets for the elderly.  She asked if anyone could help her with this by making 6 inch squares.

So I found some yarn in my stash.  And thinking you just never know what colours may send someone down memory lane, I put some bold colours together.

Here are the ones I sent off to Sue this week.

The ones below were to experiment with different patterns I had found on the net

Now if anyone else would like to help out Sue, please go to her blog and let her know.

Now then as to Kate from The Garden Bell challenge - the granny square jacket!!!!

What a magnificent job she did with hers.  I already had some ideas in place before viewing hers.  But could I fit it in with the other projects I have on the go at the moment - Slippers With Souls (6 down, 2+ more to go), Stash squares for charity blankets, 2 Flower Girl items, D1's throw and then my beautiful Colinette.

Is there enough hours in the day?
Can I find the right colour combination for me?
Is my idea going to work?

Well, you will just have to wait and see.  I am nowhere as quick as Kate in making up items, so it may be a little while before you see any hint of progress or even a start.  But challenges, unfortunately I usually accept them and then complain about lack of time  ;-))))))))))))
