Summary: <br> Hello from a bunting-bedecked Cheshire Plain. In this episode I provide a few updates, sympathise with elderly people stood in the rain and consider the quandry of when a Union Jack is not a Union Jack.<br> <br> Works in Progress<br> I finished the weaving on the Ashford Knitter's Loom with Bute from Bute from <a href="http://www.texere-yarns.co.uk/">Texere</a>. The weft is a selection of green yarns left over from my Woolsack cushions. Now I just need to cut and sew the pieces together.<br> <br> <br> <br> I've also finished the Sheep squares designed by <a href="http://www.annkingstone.com/">Ann Kingstone</a>. The pattern is for a 4ply colourwork cushion knitted in the round; I used it to knit 13cm squares in aranweight yarn. Here they are blocking.<br> <br> <br> I've also been crocheting the listeners' squares together using crab stitch.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Something I Really Like<br> Bunting!<br> <br> <br> Upcoming Events:<br> <a href="http://www.woolfest.co.uk/">Woolfest</a> at Mitchells, Cockermouth, Fri 22nd and Sat 23rd June 2012<br> <a href="http://www.fibre-east.co.uk/Fibre-East/Home.html">Fibre East</a> is at Scald End Farm, Mill Lane, Thurleigh, Bedford, MK44 2DP, Sat 14th and Sun 15th July 2012<br> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/tour-de-fleece">Tour de Fleece</a> Sat June 30th - Sun July 22nd 2012<br> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/ravelympics-2012">Ravelympics</a> Fri July 27th - Sun Aug 12th 2012<br> <br> <br> Links<br> <br> <a href="http://www.woolsack.org/">Woolsack</a><br> <br> <br> We have a <a href="http://www.zeemaps.com/228047">listeners' map</a>.
