Isolation Compensation Bunting !

This weekend lots of members of my facebook group have been knitting ISOLATION COMPENSATION Bunting!

Isolation Compensation Bunting

This was my latest Mystery Knit - no name, no description .... no-one knew what they were making. 
They just followed the instructions and hopefully had a good time! 

I hoped that a fun project would cheer us all up a little in these difficult times.

It is hard to be socially isolated! I miss my family so much! 

Thank goodness we have our crafting to help us through! 

Here are some of the lovely results ~

RAINBOW BUNTING 

If you would like to make Rainbow Bunting ~

then simply make your 'flags' in the colours of the rainbow

red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet 

Good and beautiful things often follow the darkest storms.

Or - for The Queen's Jubilee - why not make some in Red, White and Blue !!

Lazy Daisy Angel Baby Bunting
adapted and knitted by Stephanie Sim

She adapted it from one of my Angel Gown patterns - and it is so cute - I just had to share it ! 

Thank you so much Stephanie Sim for allowing me to share your adapted pattern.

I made my bunting longer than Stephanie's by adding extra rows and an extra buttonhole.
