Knitting & Sewing

I have done a pair of socks which I did using ONline Stretch Cotton yarn have done these for one of my granddaughters she wanted purple or black so still have to knit the black socks 

I had a go at doing some round placemats got the idea from  Pinterest   I used buckram to put the two layers of fabric together not sure if I am that happy with them DH said they are okay instead of the 9 patch I used smaller squares so used more then I actually use a bowl I had to mark the circle as I didn't want it as large as the original stated I did these as scrappy but have lots of ideas for different ones could even use felt both sides & no buckram or wadding & just do some applique
