Thought you'd like to see the twiddlemuff I made using all the suggestions you gave me....

It's gone off with a boxfull to be used in Bolton Hospital......

Thank you so much for your ideas...they were great.....Gx

Oh that's brilliant Gness, our Bolton?

Wherever it is it and the rest of the box will be well received.

Forward one month...

"Now, I know I've got a spare set of keys for that door, where did I put them?"

Looks great Gness, well done :-)

Hi, Mamya....yes.....one of the charities I knit for is Knit for Peace....a bit religious but I don't mind that.....
I do other stuff for KforP but BoltonHospital is using twiddlemuffs in so many ways they need lots......so my last box is going there.....x

LiK....do you know....I'll bet you anything you're right!......x

[shoota]

Shouldn't you have put a bolt on?

[elliemay1]

That is gorgeous, gness. Well done!

"Shouldn't you have put a bolt on? "

Lucky it wasn't going to the Royal Arsenal Hospital ....

[gness]

Thanks, Ellie.....easy and fun to make.....I love that this idea came just from one lady for her granny.....and now they are being used so much.
If you google Bolton Hospital Twiddlemuffs you can read just where they're being used there.....not just for dementia patients.....nice outside the box thinking......

I'll ignore you boys I think.....though I'd have had to put a gun on one for Dave's suggestion.......and Shoota'd be happy.......☺

This link may work.....and other knitter perhaps join in.....x

[shoota]

One with a gun on might almost be worth becoming demented...

[gness]

Shoota....if and when you do I promise....I'll make your twiddlemuffs.......x

[marval]

That is brilliant, well done Gness.

[anneasquith]

Great textures ;-)

[gness]

Thank you, Marval.....I'm enjoying using up my stash of wool.....I get lots from charity shops too.....Age Concern donates to me.....and I'll donate muffs back to them......x

[gness]

Hi, Anne....hmmm.....may just use that as my next chatup line.... ;-)

[tonyav]

Looks great, gness.
now where did I put the keys to my 1971 Capri

[melv16]

To give the fans something to do they've been handing them out at the Holte End:-)

[tonyav]

Oi, no need for that.

[OldBather]

Well done gness,
What a great idea,it's always the simple things that are the most effective.Who thought of it in the first place,they must have a lateral thinking mind?
As I love cats,and may soon be needing a twiddlemuff(being 70) here is the one you can make for me.LOL

Eeeh that takes me back to when I was young Oldbather....
