I’m trying so hard not to start a new project before I’ve finished one, but I can’t resist.

(My mum is the same with knitting projects so she think it’s an inherited trait.  No point battling with nature.)

I'm in. Something springy sounds nice when we are still in the depths of winter.

Would you use a stitched postcard the same way as a mug rug?  :vintage:

I’ll take part: it’ll be a nice quick thing to do, having started my b.o.m quilt and my project Linus one.

My  <3 says yes, yes, yes but the brain is currently running things, so no, no, no. Too much on my plate right now.

I'll just admire from afar.
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

Are you going to make a postcard, @Lilian

I am a member of a fabric postcard swap group on Facebook, although this will be my first card.  In that group, you can send them “naked”, in a poly bag or in a paper envelope.  Good luck.
