Day 28 & Country Markets & Donations wanted

This is something that I have been working on over the weekend and I finally managed to finish yesterday.


It's a very long draught excluder! 


I made it from Cotton normally used for dishcloths as it's nice and sturdy & I lined it, as you can see from the photo below, with some printed green fabric that I had in my fabric stash.

This is for my Crochet Classroom.


Now for today.

Today I went to the Country Market at The Exchange in Sturminster Newton
It's held very Monday from 9am to 11.30am
And I am their newest producer.

I didn't manage to sell anything but I might have got a little more interest in lessons!


Square 28 is in "Apricot"


So another new colour


If you have about 7ft of DK yarn or wool lying around and would like to donate it to my project (this is the idea of "susgood" on Twitter, then please email me and I will email you back with my address.
Thanking you in Advance as I would love to get as many different colours as possible into this project.

Whilst at the Country Market, I didn't just sit there chatting away & drinking coffee, I made a few squares for my odd square Granny Blanket!


And finally, once I got home I made this poster for my Crochet Classroom, after downloading a "stitch" style font for my computer


And coloured it all in

Gad 317


This is GAD 317 for Monday 12th November 2012


GAD 318 is in my mind but I have yet to make it as I am so busy preparing for 2 events.

One is the Craft Coffee Morning http://www.stur.org.uk/item/sturquest-coffee-morning.html which is tomorrow and where I will be demonstrating my crochet skills and giving out leaflets (hopefully) to promote my crochet lessons.

So in the meantime I have been completing my cushions

of which there will be 2, one with a green base and one with a yellow one (currently a WIP) 

and finishing off several neck scarves that I just need to darn the ends in so that they can be available to sell at the Village Craft Fair on Saturday.

So GAD 318 will have to wait until tomorrow.
