Of course! Here you go - https://www.winwickmum.co.uk/sockalong I was absolutely not a knitter before I did my first pair - I’d dabbled in the basics when I was little but this was great to follow and it’s so satisfying!

Socks are a very, very good distraction. My class have loved them too, spotting mine has sparked all sorts of conversations and they now know the difference between crochet and knitting - I think that’s a very important piece of learning!

I agree!   It’s a great shame that someone back in the mists of time didn’t know the difference between ‘tapestry’ and ‘embroidery’ 🤭😕🙄😁

This is my hungry caterpillar set from Perry’s woodcraft that I have painted to add to our story sack.

Wow, wow and wow!

Zigzag that is just beautiful! Hungry caterpillar has always been one of my favourites.

[Panders]

Oh my!   Well done you and Perry!

[Cait]

That’s absolutely fabulous! 

[zigzag]

I highly recommend taking a look at the Perry’s woodcraft site BUT be warned it’s slightly addictive! I’m currently painting the advent set for that festive time we are not allowed to mention yet!

If you are on FB have a look at the Perry’s customer creations group. Some inspiring ideas on there.

Here’s today’s delivery ready for painting!  The objects in the bag are nativity figures.  I’ve also got the August Perrybox waiting to be painted and my advent calendar objects! Can we have another six weeks holiday please!

Sorry about that! Don’t look at the sticker house then! I am so tempted by a vinyl to go on top of our low level storage but am resisting the temptation until we get the fundraising going again!
