(Please forgive this being a day late, it's a busy weekend in our house and I lost track a bit. Paying the "elderly dog we're dogsitting" tax by way of apology)


The observant among you will realise I totally put this theme here in the calendar because I knew I'd have a doll to knit for my friend's baby. Forward planning, baby (+ toddler)!

We've almost all either got kids of our own, or been recruited to knit tiny things for someone else's tiny people. So let's see what sort of things you've been making for the little ones!


Technically the winner of the Halloween theme was...um...me. And I hate that so will just breeze past it, but I do love the socks so have put them in their rightful sidebar spot anyway ๐Ÿ˜‚

Speaking of which. This fortnightly themes thing was a fun experiment, but clearly we don't have the numbers to support the current format and make it competitive. I hugely appreciate everyone who entered a project so far, and have really enjoyed seeing your work, but I also don't want anyone to feel like they have to post just to avoid me looking like a billy no-mates.

SO. On that note, I throw it open to you. What would you like to see going forward?

a) wider-ranging, more general themes?

b) longer timescale for each theme?

c) get rid of themes entirely and try something else?

Maybe instead of people submitting individual posts we can have a sticky thread prompt of the week or something, idk, just brainstorming. Feedback welcome, and if none is forthcoming I'll just try more stuff until something sticks because I have no shame ๐Ÿ˜‰

+1 for a longer timescale. Somehow I manage to always start a fitting project the moment the theme is over (yeah that's on me ๐Ÿ˜…)
