I don't do a lot of gardening but if it needs doing I have to do it since my husband passed away. I would rather crochet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272011621886845281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120102770811275751.post-58923098463740674582012-09-25T10:26:55.775+10:002012-09-25T10:26:55.775+10:00I'm with Marion and you on only using soft woo...I'm with Marion and you on only using soft wool, not cheap n tough. I like making things for charity, but when it becomes a chore for me and no enjoyment, it's just not worth it<br />I also think how I would feel receiving a beautiful soft wool item that someone took the time and love to craft - made the choice a no- brainer for me<br /><br />Yah for Yarn Snobs!!!Aussie Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107453364531984524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120102770811275751.post-60599551747238925422012-09-25T07:46:33.843+10:002012-09-25T07:46:33.843+10:00I love your fingerless gloves!

And...Dorothy your flowers are absolutely beautiful! And I don't think you are a yarn snob... I only knit with wool, can't stand synthetic fibres. If you are going to that much trouble to make something then you might as well use a good yarn. Wool not only holds it's shape but it's warm! <br />Fete stall suggestions : teapot cosies, door draught stoppers, string bag.

I think scarves are a good choice for craft sales as they fit everyone and handmade scarves seem to be all the rage with the younger set now. Also hats that are slouchy. That first Rhododendron is exactly like the favorite of mine here on the farm! The next 2 are camelias. As for what yarn you like - use what suits you!
