I am not a huge fan of making toys and puppets because the faces cause me problems.  However, I could not resist this!

[Bev Jeffery]

Wow! He's a cutie!! I am not much for making toys, either....the sewing up, the stuffing, (how much is too much?!....lol).....and the dreaded facial features!!

[Linda Maltby]

What a cute puppet! The children will love it.

OK so I am hugely late with my August items.  Apologies, it has been a rough few weeks and I over extended myself.  

I have a couple more somewhere but I do not know where at the moment!

Made by working in two different directions - I love squares like this!

I really like stripes - and this one I liked the rhythm of the way the stripes went thicker and thinner.

 I like doing Plain Janes whilst watching films at the cinema - this one was Antman and the Wasp.

If I have a variegated yarn, I like to do diagonals or even mitred squares.  

[Bev Jeffery]

Yum, yum, yum!!!! I LOVE the variegated yarn in your diagonal square, Rebecca. Gorgeous stripes!!

Your multi-directional square....do you have a pattern for it by any chance, pretty please???? I have only seen a pattern for it in a scarf and I couldn't make head nor tail of it.  :((

[Rebecca Price]

Thank you for your kind comment.  I have just about got it right, so I can send it to you when I have managed to perfect the second half...... and got it typed up!!

[Linda Maltby]

Not a problem Rebecca.  Anytime is a good time to add to a theme.  You've been busy organizing the 10th Anniversay party for KAS so I'm surprised you had time to knit (silly me, of course we always have time to knit/crotchet for our children lol)

These are lovely squares, I especially like the bumblebee square.

Knitting a hat and hand-warmers set has been my favorite thing to knit lately. I play around with colors and stitches I like to make a simple hat&hand-warmers to keep one more child warm . I have knitted patterns and used tips I learned from Christine Johnson and Kathy Chantrell as well used a pattern Lesley shared with me once.Wendy's and Rachel's beanies are inspiring as well as the work of all KasSisters. Thank you, Ladies!! 

This is a new hat (hand-warmers coming up soon) I just finished last night,  "September 3rd".

Beanie and hand warmers set completed, finally !! 

[Linda Maltby]

I loved the hat. Now add the hand warmers and it makes a gorgeous set for a child!  Thanks so much Diana.  Never too late to add to a theme:-)
