Unpacking the Box

I was keen to see the items in my Box of Treasure in real life as the on line photos hadn't really been clear due to there being so many bits and bobs.
Were they worth the buying?

There are some cross stitch charts in this book "Cross stitch from The Country Diary" but it needs a photo copier with enlargement feature to be able to see the pattern as the book is only 5 inches by 4 inches so charts are teeny. If anyone wants it give me a shout as I know lots of people collect Edwardian Lady Country Diary stuff. I've kept the 14 count Aida and the hoop and threads.

A crochet kit - I'll send this off to someone who crochets . The felt penguin kit is sweet and has been kept as have the two cross stitch kits.

Some different coloured wool wound on card but no patterns, so the wool has gone in my wool bag for maybe teaching grandchildren to knit or for making pom-poms etc in the future. There's a peg doll kit also kept for grandchildren.Several skeins of embroidery cotton have been wound onto cards and added to my stash.

A crochet fox kit - another to pass on, a children's cross stitch kit - to keep for grandchildren. It's very unlikely I'll want to stitch a unicorn so that's gone in the car boot box. Also there is a huge piece of Binca - which will be brilliant for grandchildren to learn to stitch. It's what I learned to cross stitch on at primary school - where I made a lovely lined purse, with a snap closure - wonder what happened to it?

And finally for today - The guinea pig kit had lots of fur fabric missing - shame - so that's been chucked. More cottons and another embroidery hoop. There's a big piece of rug making canvas - which I've put in the box for a future car boot sale along with a knitted book mark kit.
