More head huggers and EYES exhibits


You cant really see in this picture above but the head hugger in front, has wiggledy edgings. I dont follow a pattern but it seems to have worked okay lol 

I enjoy making up these huggers, they are very therapeutic to sit and knit. I combine novelty yarns with double knit, mohairs or chunkies. I blend together whatever colours seem to 'go' and you get fun textures when they are finished.

I sat for a couple of hours manning our EYES exhibition last friday morning and here are afew other exhibits you might like to see.
Our current Chairman is Maggie Tomlinson and she made the lion jacket below.....isnt he great!




Sue Spafford made this lovely journal cover........it was beautifully stitched.


Ann Pye made this interesting piece below

This below is Nelson and his picnic.....made by Jackie Parker
He's fabulous........and about 2' from seat to top of head so must be about 3' when stood, with beautifully crocheted hexies ....
