A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies

Yarndale 2018 - only 7 weeks away now. The list of goodies has been started. Their community crafting project has been announced - Crochet Butterflies.  All in aid of their local charity Pioneer Projects. A few hooked up yesterday to help with the fund raising.  Using some odds of wool I need to use up.

Ta Dah......

As they hooked up a little large for brooches I decided to make key rings - not everyone will want a brooch - I hope.

And for those wanting to donate a little bit more - mini butterfly bunting!

A Smack Of Jellyfish

A few weeks back I was sent a pattern for a jellyfish from one of the QQ. I added it to my wish list for when I had finished a couple of small blankets I was making.  However, in a discussion with said QQ she informed us that her local town was having a sea themed Yarn Bombing session  - how could I not contribute something....... so 

One quickly led to two...

And before I knew it.....

Pattern - www.1dogwoof.com/crochet-jellyfish - a simple pattern - and much fun was had 'curling' the tentacles.

A Grand Gromplication

 

The Howl

 

Feathers Macaw

 

Wallace in Wonderland - we noticed a difference in the type of people hunting this year, and the volume of people hunting.  We came across many older people hunting (most on their own), and most interesting to chat to a few as we went on our way. this however, was the largest group we came across. Descending on the statue quickly and leaving just as quickly. I didn't think to ask the group name - only who had knitted the hats - Grandma's, mum and aunts came the shouts! 

 

The Bristol Hound

 

Light as a Feather

 

The Wensleydale Kid  - unlike our last visit the weather was extra kind, the view from the hill was amazing.
