The Things I Keep

I keep a bag of baby/cot things in the top of the wardrobe. They have not been used recently as my Grandsons are 8 and 6, but with 2 more on the way I thought I would get it out and tidy/ wash/ repair. Just check what I had.
I knitted this shawl over 40years ago and my youngest son was the last to use it, I am now giving it to him and his wife.

I also found this lined basket. In the days before I made quilts I made things like this.  


 Do you know what this is? It was in my basket.


It's called a Daisy Wheel.
This was also in the basket. I didn't realise I had made so many of the Daisies and abandoned them. Time to get it finished.




Here is the pattern I use. It makes a pretty matinee jacket. I have made it before and it is something fancy for a little girl.
