Paulineknit A life of hand knitting. Thursday, 16 July 2015. Two children's jumpers for fundraising. You may remember that in 2014 I made two children's jumpers using donated (to me) Spectrum Detroit Chunky yarn. One blue and one orange, which were sold with the proceeds going to the community centre. After attempts to sell these jumpers to raise funds for the community centre failed, they were donated to Magpas (Mid Anglia General Practitioner Accident Service). Knitting for Good Causes.

Paulineknit A life of hand knitting. Tuesday, 11 November 2014. You may remember that in June I knitted and donated 21 poppies to Huntingdon Library. There should have been thirty poppies but I didn't get them all finished in time. While knitting outside All Saints Church on 14th June for Worldwide Knit in Public Day 2014. One of the knitters requested knitted poppies for St Hugh's Church in Buckden. The remaining nine of my intended thirty were all made as field poppies (pattern here. Cast on 7 stitches.

Paulineknit A life of hand knitting. Monday, 5 January 2015. 31st December 2014 : Finished Objects and Works in Progress.

I received requests to knit poppies from other people. The requests came...

Paulineknit ~ A life of hand knitting : It's all change for Paulineknit
https://paulineknit.blogspot.com/2014/11/its-all-change-for-paulineknit.html
Paulineknit A life of hand knitting. Monday, 10 November 2014. It's all change for Paulineknit. You will gather from my profile that I ventured into retail for a while, selling yarns, patterns, needles, haberdashery and also a stock of preowned knitting books, pattern books, magazines and patterns. Some people collect these, some people like wearing retro/vintage fashions made from the patterns, and some people want to complete their collection of magazines. I then uploaded a free website. And both elsew...

Paulineknit ~ A life of hand knitting : Three blind mice
https://paulineknit.blogspot.com/2014/11/three-blind-mice.html
Paulineknit A life of hand knitting. Saturday, 1 November 2014. In 2008 I was commissioned to design and produce patterns and samples for a family of knitted mice. The grey mice are two pattern testing samples using an acrylic double knitting yarn from my stash, a yarn different to the thicker natural yarn that was to be provided in the kit. The acrylic yarn didn't hold the shape so well. The large mouse to the same pattern is a fun make for ourselves using King Cole Magnum Multi Chunky. Reversible Colou...
