COTM

COTM
is an acronym  :-)
I love acronyms
While driving we make up titles, sayings etc from number plates
One of my favourites is an Australian company
QANTAS
Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Service

Anyways, COTM means
Charity Of The Month through K4C, Knit 4 Charities

Here is what I sent off for one of this months, NSW Womens Refuge
Some of these you may have seen before


A couple of toddler ponchos, one with matching beanie,  a toddler jacket, 2 baby beanies, and 2 adult beanies
Amazing what you can squish into a 500g post pak

Also made this for an upcoming charity


The Surreybelle Scarf
Quick, easy and fun
Mine is 8cm x 150cm, but it can very easily be made wider
Details here

I have also been whipping up these with scraps of yarn as they only take about 5g
It is for another upcoming charity and it was started as a KAL
Another acronym :-)  Knit A Long



Little fishies
Which one lovely lady is going to join into a blanket for St Giles Children
There are a few samples and ideas on Ravelry to show what it can look like
One here

And I still have not shown you my latest creation
Seem to have blocking block  :-)
Might just have to get a photo as it is

And for one last acronymn I just made up - AFD
Have fun pranking on April Fools Day

Anyone else have favourite acronymn's?

  4. All those lovely gifts to give away. They're beautiful.
    Great capricorn minds think alike. The acronym game with car number plates kept our lot entertained on many a car trip. And the habit is hard to break - I still do it today. Lol.

  7. Hi, checking in to see what you've been up to..
    love the beanie you've got going on the circulars, the baby knitting is very cute.
    I've got my first grandbaby on the way but they've decided to be surprised and wait until the birth so I'm knitting too many girl things - fluff and flowers and pink are so much fun!! have a great week....
