About Me

East Ayton, Scarborough, North Yorkshire
A group of ladies who enjoy traditional embroidery but who meet once a month to try some experimental work. We meet at Ayton Village Hall on the third Thursday in the month for a full day and again on the first Thursday for half a day. We currently have a waiting list of people who want to join us.

Thursday 16th July

A quiet week this week, had a nice walk with Lindsay on Sunday from the clock tower on the Esplanade along the Cleveland Way until it joins the main road and then coming back the same way.  We went early in the morning and it was lovely and sunny with quite a few yachts sailing in the bay, you just can't beat the Yorkshire coast.
I have been working on my table runner and got the borders on today.
The border fabric is one of the Indian pieces I brought back from holiday last year.  Looking at this picture I can see I need to trim the bottom right corner!

I have also been knitting a tiny sweater for a 'Fish and Chip' baby.  Apparently in Mali there are no clothes or wraps to take new born babies home in so they are wrapped in newspaper to keep them warm.  These little sweaters are being knitted to send out there.  They have to be in dark colours as they will probably not be washed.  I have put the instructions here for anyone who wants to do one.


The sweater takes approximately one ball of wool.
