January 2020 Meeting

Rabbits everywhere –  Gill led a workshop to use a pre-knitted square created mainly by Margaret, to make a little bunny rabbit – it could be used for a child’s toy (not suitable for babies) or on a mobile or an Easter decoration. One was made into a glove puppet.

It was a fairly simple process – from a pattern found on the internet.  Sewing a couple of lines of running stitch, gathering these up and using some stuffing to make the head.  Then sewing up the body stuffing it again, finally finishing off with optional pom pom tail and some embroidered eyes, nose and mouth.

Everyone joined in and a whole warren of rabbits was made by the end of the evening. 

The show and tell was an edge to edge cardigan  made by Barbara which was widely admired. And Angie brought some sweet little baby’s socks she’d made.  Margaret had an asymmettrical scarf that she made up from a Ravelry pattern.  It was similar to a scarf that April had made.

There were notices about UNRAVEL in February and the Sandown Park craft show in January.
