They have been making squares - but not just any squares ...

| Colourful and decorative knitted & crocheted squares |

in fact not just squares at all - baskets of flowers and blankets too!

And for that matter, not just knitting and crocheting either - a knitting frame was also in use ...

Their work is looking fabulous and I can't wait to see it all in situ at the Yarnbombing Event in Rowntree Park, York on Saturday 13 July. Thank you, ladies!

Looks like a lovely morning :) I've never seen knitting with a frame before - very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes - the frames work like French knitting and you can get large round ones as well as that shown. I think they are sometimes called knitting looms too!
