The "Useful" knitalong thread

[knitbird 10]

As above. Thought it would be easier to navigate.

 

I'm making a throw from Colinette's "Toast and Marmalade" in Mist, Jay and Dusk pictures will follow when I have something worth looking at!

 

(Any helpful people out there, can you please make this sticky ans close the previous thread, so we know where to post? Thank you!)

I am making 2 cushion covers using King Cole Svelte which is a super chunky chenille and Aero which is a super chunky yarn. Pics to follow when I locate some! I need to finish my second Colinette, Brioche throw first and hope to achieve that later today.

I am going to make some string type bags out of stash cotton. Useful, environmental and stash depletion. Huzzah!

I dont think I can join in with this one as the Alphabet Blanket has a deadline which I need to meet (late Nov) and I only did 4 rows last week (slaps wrist). I am really looking forward to seeing everyone elses contributions though:D

 

Knitbird - they are rather lovely colours that you have chosen!

I'm going for a sew-it-up-along and finishing the two cushion covers that I have that are in pieces. They are very nice merino and silk but they are 4" squares, 25 to a cushion cover. It will take me all month to seam them (rather "all month to avoid seaming them and then a quick burst of guilt at the end")

I am making a strawberry tea cosy. Progressing nicely, done 24 rows on first side.

Doing School Foot Coverings - useful, but won't fit over a tea pot
