Malbridge House

Regular readers will know that we joined a local knit and natter group at our local church. They have got use to us now, but at first we didn’t find them very welcoming.

One of my  Mums friends goes to a knit and natter at Corfe, famous for it’s castle. They welcome children and have had some home ed children go before. During the school holidays they run workshops for children. They have spinners there, ladies who do all sorts of crafts. Eden has started to crochet doilies and there was a lady there who also makes them, so the first week that we went Eden sat chatting to her and she offered some advice.

There are also a couple of tables set up at the back of the hall where some of the ladies sell their wares, so Eden asked if she could bring along some of the cards that she makes. She sold about eight of them and was very pleased.

Last Wednesday we went to one of the workshops where they made felt balls and then made them into snakes

 I have been knitting these,

In Africa the children can’t go to school unless they’ve got a school uniform so My Mums friends, Joe and Peg, the ones who told us about the knit and natter, are knitting some of these. They’ve got quite a few to make and Joe is the only one making them because the other members don’t like knitting with such dark coloured wool. So I have knitted a few up for him, I started on jumper No. 4 last night.

I have also been doing these for the local group, strips for blankets and some hats.

I have also knitted this for a friends little girls birthday

As I said at the new knit and natter lots of different things are made. Can you guess what these are made out of?

I’ll let you know in my next post!
