Once again, a huge congrats to Patricia from DaniellaJoe for winning this Sept’s Made It challenge (Jill, I too have to completely revise my mental picture!) and to Jill for donating this prize!
Thank you all for your comments to yesterday’s post! I know that bunting was a popular guess but I think Trish from MadeByPatch is on the money with her guess……yes, its KNICKERS!!
These pretty little draws were made my Lana, my step-mom (just for the record, I abhor the word “step” and am so happy that we both share a love of yarn!) Here’s what she had to say about them…
“This piece of wood has been on display next to our fireplace for ages, and every time I looked at it I thought it needed covering up of some sort. Painting is too permanent, so when the time for our Craft market in Stanford came around, I decided to use it as a prop on my table, suitable attired for Spring. Please note there is even a front and back. It is now back in its original place displaying a modicum of decency”
AWESOME!
Thanks Lana, these knickers are fantastic and will surely set the mood for Octobers’ challenge!
Okay, one last bit of business – if you would like to donate this month’s prize please email me on maryanne@woolhogs.co.za. The size of the prize doesn’t matter at all – it’s a great opportunity to connect!

Happy Monday Y’all!!!
I don’t think I have ever attacked a Monday with so much enthusiasm – I am usually optimistically cautious when it comes to (arguably) the most unpopular day of the week. I mostly start it with a long and tiresome list of things I need to drag myself through. Admittedly, my attitude does warm up by the afternoon to the great relief of everyone around me!
But today is different…I have soooo many things that I am super super about and can’t wait to get my grubby paws into – hang on, let me make a list of thing I am going to be sharing with you
I am ecstatic that we have some newbies to this months challenge and have a warm, fuzzy heart for all you “regulars” THANK YOU ALL!
Sooooo, let me kick this Monday in gear by showing off our entries.Â
The lovely Millie is back with these beautiful Tsumani Kanashis –  you are going to want to check these out!!!!
We have our first NEWBIE yay – Veldagia from LoopyPinkContemplation has just made our collective lives easier with her tutorial for her crochet hook case!
Our Defending Champion (heehee) Rene from Living in Sunny South Africa has another sensational shawl. WOW, aren’t those colours brilliant ?! I would never have the guts to put them together – they look stunning!
Funny Lady and veteran Made It entrant Jill, from Nice Piece of Work‘s fabric flower is blooming brilliant – I laughed out loud reading her tutorial….ahhh Jill, you are a hoot!
A very warm welcome to another new entrant CrocKnits who is also new to wordpress so go on over and say hi!! Her lovely Wrist Warmers are the perfect project for all the left over yarn that no one know what the heck to do with!!
And another huge bear-hug welcome to Katie from Spinning Some Yarns and her gorgeous Multicoloured Cowl – and yes, I totally agree – cowls are addictive!!!
So there you have it folks – I have just ticked the first thing off my list!
Enjoy browsing these all these wonderful blogs. Â Now, must run and fling myself into this fabulous day – Catch you later!
