Back home to put our feet up...

Its good to have a holiday, but its lovely to get home. And as our lovely Pat proclaimed last night "isn't it nice to be home." Yes it was KNS fans. And what a busy return. We had a packed house with lots and lots going on. So, enough of this gibber jabber, lets get down to business...
I think I will start with our lovely Junior stitchers, so lovely to see them learning and developing over their time within the group, after all folks, it is a life skill that will see them well in the future. Melodie was a gorgeous new face among them. So what were they up to? Well Jazz and Melodie chose to take part in the embroidery, they both have done a beautiful job so far and we look forward to seeing finished products.

 





Kathrine has chosen to take part in our big SANDS charity knit. So proud of the big heart on that young girl.

 As launched last night by the lovely Judy and Eleanor, who have a personal connection to this amazing charity, this summer we will be knitting blankets and hats for SANDS. This is a very worthwhile initiative that will be a small help to parents at a very difficult time. We hope our members will throw themselves into this activity with gusto...

Pat works away on her blanket....

And still finds time to support new member and virgin knitter Soraya in starting hers . We hope that's a new junior member you are growing us in there Soraya!





 

We also had a visit from Jane Charles and her City and Guilds group. These ladies bought along some beautiful work that we were very privileged to see.

 





This lush hanging by Kathy was greatly admired.

And our own Judy who is also on this course bought her own superb work.

 

We all agree that Jane is a awesome tutor, and we do believe you should go check out her blog for work, and info on her upcoming courses with ACE. You can view Jane here.. Smallbeans ...for your home and coat.

The lovely ladies from Knitting Basket arrived. They had some beautiful quilts to show us

 

But the best thing about Monday, was just how busy we all were. It was great to come home and have our KNS family out on mass. Laughter, Cake, and crafting with good friends. Its what Mondays were made for...

Anyway, just before I go a little reminder that at next Mondays group we will be holding our group AGM.

OK OK!! I know it should say INVOLVED. The D would not fit... Anyway. Our committee needs some more members to help with fund raising and stuff, and we will be adopting a constitution for the group. So please come along and help keep your local craft group on track.

Big love and Keep Stitching
