A huge thank you to the sender in Gloucestershire for my beautiful mug rug (I think I know who you are!!)
You absolutely nailed the brief and the design and stitching are just perfect. I will definitely very much enjoy using it. Thanks again! X

Whoops, amended as I managed to post two shots of the back! Always struggle with photos here! Hope this has worked now

Ooh, there are some really lovely creations.  Maybe just as well that I didn't take part this time.

@Ploshkin  Is the knitted knotty one i-cord made on needles or on a knitting dolly (French knitting)?

These were not for the swap, but were inspired by it! So I thought you might like to see. I made 2 leaves originally for the TSP swap, but then decided to make something different. However, as it is such a good use of long thin scraps and little bits of wadding,  I got carried away and made 5 sets ( mug rug plus bigger pot holder) for a local charity shop and 1 set for a friend. I love a good scrappy project :dance:  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

@BrendaP it is French knitting and each one surprisingly needed 2 metres!
Life's too short for ironing.

@Sheilago I really like those  :loveit: and like you say good for scraps.  I have a roll of strips most with the selvedge on.  I think this would be a good use for them.  Love the leaf shapes too.

They're all so lovely and so original too. Have looked at them a couple of times and enjoyed the variety and
they look too good to use. Well done everyone who took part in it.  I may be tempted to take part next time
if you will let me  :P

I may have another look at these again later. Lovely Autumnal colours. :thumbsup:

Aha, I guessed it was probably you @Lowena, :ninja: but wasn’t sure exactly where you were or  whether anyone else was based in the Norfolk area. Thanks again  :D
