My Grandfather was buried wearing a pair of red socks that I knit him.

My recent adventures in crocheting have resulted in a couple of items:

• Granny square blanket
• Heirloom Bag

I’m about to take a break from knitting and crocheting. A girl needs a break every now and again. I took a rest from knitting last summer as my wrist had been getting quite sore. I have only one small item that I need to knit but I’ve got until October to have it finished.

The V&A website has a section on knitting; including knitting history, knitting patterns and how to knit a work of art.

And lastly, here are some photographs which were taken by an Ahoghill photographer, Helen Sloan.
