July's numbers are #13, which means there are three numbers being called this month, #9 and #21.

For me, they are free, finish scrappy cushion cover and work on knitted suffragette.  Why am I knitting a suffragette?  It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Thanks, all.  I’ll have a look through your suggestions.

@jintie , my DD is at Uni in Bristol, so I’ll pop round with a piece of tracing paper and pencil next time I’m down that way.    :laughing:

Feathers, leaves, swirls, stars, but no daisies.   :(

Please does anyone know of a simple jacket pattern in which the sleeves are cut out in one piece with the front and back?   Like Simplicity 7893, but costing less than £47  :scream:

June’s numbers are 4 and 16.

For me that is knit slipper socks (I don’t know what that refers to) and to finish a QAYG quilt.

Me neither, @WendyW , but next week is half term so I might get to one of them.

At long last, I have finished my socks.





Next I’m going to do Ein Bisschen Wurfeln, a free pattern on Ravelry with which you roll a dice to determine how many rows of each pattern you work.

May’s WIPGO numbers are 23 and 25.

For me, this is my Bargello quilt, which needs quilting and my row by row quilt (again).

That sounds an excellent find @Ellabella ,
Not many seem to have craft sections and I only read on a Kindle, but, it's a much nicer experience visiting charity shops since they took notice of Mary Portas a few years ago.

I like it when they arrange the clothes by colour, as I only wear blue, purple or hot pink.  We have a couple of charity shops which took no notice of Mary and still sell old tat, which might be just what you’re looking for.

Eeek!  Did you knit faster and faster so that you could finish before the yarn ran out?

You know I did, @Acorn   :)

Plan B was to undo it and begin to decrease sooner, @Vezelay .

I’ve just finished the Do Not Disturb shawl as part of this knitalong.



I played yarn chicken and won… just.

April’s numbers have been called - 5 and 17

For me that is a row by row quilt that I began making at a quilting group I used to attend, and Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery.  As I break up next weekend, I should make good progress on both of them. 🙂

This month has been a wipe out for me.  So much work and family stuff going on, so I haven’t touched either project.  One more week till we break up for Easter so hopefully April will be better.

I love the colour of your shirt, @SewRuthieSews .
