WHAT'S ON YOUR HOOKS AND NEEDLES IN SEPTEMBER 2025?

[Bev Jeffery]

Welcome to September 2025

 

It is the first day of Spring for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere and my favourite season.

 

The CoM (colour of the month) is........

 

 

A lovely,soft shade that can be nice on its own, or mixed with just about any colour you can think of.

 

As usual my thoughts turn to food.....haha.

 

Cookies and cream (icecream)

 

 

 

 

Peaches and cream yoghurt (yum)

 

 

Strawberries and cream (one of my favourite lollies/sweeties)

 

 

Scones with raspberry jam and cream

 

 

Chocolate layered cake with cream filling.

 

 

Pavlova with kiwifruit, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries....any berries.....and cream.

 

 

I think I've covered just about every colour . 

 

Cream is so versatile.

 

So.....if you have some cream in your stash, perhaps you might like to create some pjs or striped/patterned squares containing cream. 

 

My apologies if I've made you hungry....I'm starving!!

I had 3 rolls of this Lion Brand jazzy wool which I teamed with Woolcraft Baby Care Shade 613 (a light cream).   I knit the 2 outside panels from the outside of the roll to the middle, then did the central wider panel 18 sts wider and knit from the inside of the roll to the outside.    There is a massive boob amongst the blanket which I didn't notice until I started construction and bordering,   Too late was the cry - however it makes the blanket even more unique, ha ha.   All knit on 6.5mm needles double strand, outer panels 60 sts, central 78sts.   All K3P3 basketweave, 4 rows per box, 48 boxes width.

REALLY COSY!  the colours and textures look so warm and cuddly.

Well, I can't see a massive boob...but I do see one GORGEOUS blanket,Karen!!

You're getting quite fancy, girl.  :)) LOVE the double colour border, too.

Superbe Karen, j'adore les couleurs et les photos de détails :  quant à ce que vous voyez au milieu ??? je ne vois rien de semblable! Le point natté 3x4 est vraiment joli, peut-être un plus long à tricoter que le 5x6 mais c'est agréable de varier les points.

Sept 30 2025 "What's on my Hooks and Needles"...Orange Shirt Day is now a National holiday in Canada for Truth and Reconciliation.  EVERY CHILD MATTERS, 

I made some orange squares and this is orange shirt I wear today.

Beautiful work Arlene! Love the T-shirt for such a good cause!

[Estelle McLeod]

That's amazing Arlene!

[Karen Gordon]

Fantastic colours here !

[Bev Jeffery]

SUPER squares, Arlene!

LOVE the stripes you have happening in your cream square.

I have just done some reading regarding the truth and reconciliation day. Thankfully these practices are in the past. Australia had similar practices with indigenous communities in the past. Feeling for all the children, now adults,  in similar situations.
