A SPOT OF KNITTING TO PASS THE TIME


These knitted covers for window boxes appeared in a Chinon street a few years ago.  The crocheted flowers are a nice touch I think.



They were still there when we walked around Chinon during our precious eight weeks in France last summer, although they were a bit faded.




If I run out of things to do during lockdown I might knit one myself.  Although I'd feel obliged to finish one of my half knitted jumpers first.

  1. Lovely work; good for you to have such a past time to create loveliness in these times.

  2. A different sort of yarn bombing

  3. Unravel those sweaters and make these!
    I will send Nick a picture of some wonderful, yarnbombed trees that came up on my timeline about 30mins ago!!

  4. I’m not sure I’m a fan of yarn bombing. I like to see it but then the Yorkshire in me thinks the yarn might have served a more useful purpose. Best finish your jumper before you decide.
