Summer School One: meeting four

Back in the Dock at St Patrick's this week. Watching small boys stand amazed under torrential rain.
This week's mystery object. Clue in a post below by Heather. (Not the one about Monsieur Renard- that would be a red herring, but keep with the animal analogy...)
Heather Boss and Queen Niqi have both been working on the set book tea cosy. Heather's is above and is nearing completion. She needed a break from all those flowers today, so went to meet the Queen (the real one) instead. Below is Queen Niqi's completed cosy- her third task from the set book. (Why didn't I notice at the time that you had actually brought the teapot as well?)
She has also rustled up one of Patricia's poppies and pays tribute to the clarity of instructions. Copies available from Guru P on demand.

Lindsay is obviously demonstrating her mother's genes- this is last week's mug cosy, finished, buttoned and she's all ready for her next projcet. Spot her below, earnestly browsing the set text.
No photos of my third attempt at my first task from the set book. Sigh!! Also no photos of Gillian's completed first thing ever. She claims to have left it at home. Methinks this summer school needs some set targets to go with the set text- just for the stragglers like me!

Belated summer report!

Last Wednesday's Hookery report- apologies for tardiness. Spot the hand grenade, mug cosy, tea cosy and then complete the following sentence in no more than six words: I love summer hooking because...
Starting beside the computer and moving anti-clockwise! Hooker one.
Hooker two.
Hooker three.
Knitter four! Aran, progressing most impressively!
Hooker five.
Welcome, Lindsay. Hooker six.
Hooker seven Boss.
And just as unfocused a close-up as you'll get of the Russian poppy! Winner announced and prize awarded on Wednesday- at the Dock xxx

Links

Not the crochet sort; I suppose they would be chains? No: links like this one to Angela's granny square blanket. She was taught to crochet by Catherine N in November. Also this one to Lynne's Russian Poppy site- just to further illustrate Patricia's unrivalled talent for making something special from just one picture!

Here is my first attempt at the poppy. I followed the pattern as far as possible but I still need to work on the interpretation of the translation !
I will bring some printed copies and the poppy on Wednesday evening.
