June calendar SAL



This month's local bird is a blackbird



Various birthday cards, one birthday banner and The Daughter's card remembering our recent holiday:

   

   




At last I've finished the front of my jumper



I've started knitting squares in long strips, which I shall sew together to create a throw for my sofa.  I have a second bird one to knit, and there are a number of heirloom squares.  These are a blue tit and dancing cockerells.

Wow, you've been busy! Especially love the Stonehenge solstice and the knitted bluetit!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you :) It will be nice to have the solstice up for a month, all bright and cheerful. The blue tit worked out well - it's supposed to be a cushion, done with chunky knit on large needles but I prefer it this way.

They all look amazing! I like the idea of a throw made of knitted squares, and that heraldic cockerel one is gorgeous. I'd have a jumper of that ;) But I also really like the front of your jumper. What a nice combination of colours!

Thank you very much! I do like knitting squares, so this seemed a good way to enjoy the process and have something useful at the end. I chose the jumper because I liked the colours and the pattern appealed, although it was more complicated than I thought it would be - however, I'm really pleased with the result.

Well done. I like the jumper!

Thank you very much! I'm pleased with how the jumper's looking.
