CHOOKYBLUEs BIRTHDAY WEEKEND CELEBRATIONS....

Last week I spent 2 days sorting out 4 suitcases of my mums knitting books. I got them down to 1 shelf in my bookcase. This is the amount of what I kept.
I have offered all the other books to as many friends as I can. I know so many ladies make for charity. So what goes around  comes around.
Thanks MUM.
YOUR WORK WILL LIVE ON....
I will get a lot of use out of these patters.
Some are pre 1966
So I have searched them to work on my SILs unfinished knitting projects...
These are what I found in the box.. 
2 backs knitted & another one started.
 I think I can get 2 completed jumpers out of this pile...
Here is one of the kids jumpers. 
While  I have been away I started knitting the front. The back was already done....
I thought I would do stripes on the front and sleeves...
Remember my SILs white jumper.
Here is what my SIL had knitted.
The yarn I started with. All I have left is the small bit of the White/cream
Well I got it finished and with the leftovers I made a beanie...


At the same time I got finished a SPLENDID SAMPLER BLOCK. I loved these green fabrics. 
No. 28 Splendid Sampler

And have started No. 31... Using Cottage Garden Threads. RUSTY GATE 507.
I didn't want to worry about changing colours....
No. 31. Splendid Sampler

Have a look at what everyone else got up to...
