Bed runners...

 


In between other projects I like to make bed runners for dementia patients...
All they ask is for blankets to be approx 140cm x 50cm - crochet, knitted or quilted etc. They are used on the dementia wards to help patients identify their beds.

I try to make each one completely individual, with different colours and stitches - it gives a great opportunity to practise new patterns without committing to a full size blanket!

If you'd like to get involved, there are more details here, they cannot accept donations at the moment, but would still like to have a supply once they can! They will put an update on their Facebook page once they can accept more blankets

Friendship wraps available now!

Image
As the title suggests I thought I would start selling the friendship wraps (bracelets) now whilst the removable wraps are being tested out for me... These are about 12 inches long - 1inch loop, 6 inch wrap, and 5 inches of tails to allow for different wrist sizes... They can be a flat wrap (like the bottom two) or spiral knot (like the middle - pink yellow and blue one) or a mixture (like the 2nd one down). I have a few colours available, but if you really want something you can't see let me know and I might be able to rustle up something different :-) Red Mid pink Dusky pink Electric blue  Orange Yellow Mid blue Purple Green  Obviously different screens will change the exact colour slightly, according to my screen these are fairly true to the actual colours Only £4 each - Let me know if you would like to order one - comment here, or send me an e-mail my.twisted.yarns@gmail.com Thanks for looking xXx

Bracelets...

Image
Well, the last few days I've been playing with bracelets, I've looked at loads of tutorials which all blurred into one in the end... but they all showed the same technique, some more clearly than others! This is the result...     I really loved doing friendship bracelets when I was younger so these wave bracelets were fairly quick to do, and the kids loved them! Then I tried the macrame style, which again were very popular with the children :-)     Yesterday I decided to try something else I'd seen on a couple of tutorials, but only using the limited materials that I already had I came up with this;     It may be messy (and made with wire wrapping rather than a nice flexible thread!), but I really like it xXx
