We get postbox toppers around here (S London). WIP just means work in progress In this house it is more likely to be a UFO. (UnFinished Object) as I am not much of a knitter or crocheter. I prefer to sew, mostly household bits and bobs and repairs
This Xmas the stockings included hot water bottle covers and pocket warmers made of cotton fabric & rice to be warmed in the microwave.
Okay, there's no knitting in this pic. There's folding, knotting, struggling with paperclips, and tacking the snowmen decorations onto plain blue material, and that's about it. But I'm horrendously proud Furoshiki roolz!
Any old rice seems to work. I think it is actually the moisture in the rice that gets heated up so super dry stuff may be a problem until it has had time to absorb some moisture from the air. Wheat grains work too but are banned in this house.

I've been working on some new things - this is one of them. 325889462_867756134443671_496432128957489156_n.jpg
Thats really clever ..its such a shame that a lot of the old trades are disappearing as more machines can do the work but to be able to do things by hand like that is skilful
