Old is New again Wednesday

Anyone out there remember when I mentioned reworking old patterns??
Well I thought I would share a few I have made

Cary, in Bendigo Woollen Mills (BWM) Classic 5ply from Patons R26 with a few mods

Another Cary, in BWM Luxury 4ply, only mod being the change in colour

Chickadee Vest, in BWM Classic 5ply, another Patons R18 pattern

Singlet in BWM Cotton 8ply, Patons Heirloom 4ply pattern ( a new book with old patterns)

Another singlet, called Pam, from BWM Cotton 4ply, Patons R23 pattern
and

Rosebud (which for some reason wants to go sideways  ) in BWM Luxury 4ply, Patons 2429


And the very lovely Dorothy, Hooks 'n' Grannies, sent this beautiful old pattern book, which I can’t wait to use

It will definitely have mods though as they are so intricate

Knit 4 Charities–June donations

Sorry, a short and quick post
The dreaded flu has struck
Even knitting and crochet have slowed dreadfully
And I’m really keen on a large crochet project, but yet to buy the wool
There may be another request shortly which would be very urgent

So June’s donation is for ‘Care for Street Kids’ on the South Coast of NSW

One Scrappy Cowl, two Knit 4 Charity Pattern Beanies, and a Knit 4 Charity Pattern Fingerless Gloves
All links above are to my Ravelry pages
All made from Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 8ply
