A Dragon tooth scarf hand knitted aboard the narrow boat “Emma Maye” in Lancashire by Carole Wareing of Colin and Carole’s Creations. This exclusive garment is an adult sized shawl, knitted from a yarn available from The Wool Boat which is produced by James C Brett. The yarn used for this shawl is an acrylic yarn from the James C Brett’s “Stonewash” range, shade SW1. The colours are shades of Red and grey The stitches used to create this shawl have produced a textured structure to the garment. The yarn is an acrylic one, very warm and snuggly and easy maintaince. The shawl is approximately 72 inch long and 11 inch deep at its widest point and has about 64 dragon’s teeth. For Sunday Stitches 15.5.2022. A bit of a different Sunday Stitches this week from me, a finished shawl, displayed on myself stood on the towpath next to our boat “Emma Maye” on the Leeds and Liverpool canal near Burscough in West Lancashire. This is the garment I was knitting in last week’s “Sunday Stitches” with the yarn coming from J C Bretts “Stonewash” range and the pattern one I’ve made up myself, fairly simple so has never been written down.

This week’s #sundaystitches comes from the back deck of the narrowboat “Emma Maye” aka The Wool Boat. Carole is working with Stonewash yarn from #jcbretts that will become a shawl. It has at last become warm enough, just, to sit outside for a while. We have moved from our mooring a bit further down the canal, but still moored near @theslipwaybarandrestaurant just after the swing bridge.

This week’s #sundaystitches, a shawl from Northern lights. On the road in the pick-up coming back from the flatlands of Lincolnshire over the Derbyshire dales to the equally as flatlands of West Lancashire. It was a bit of a wet trip over the tops.
We had been on a six day trip to Telford and then Boston so Col could watch Southport F C win 0-3 at Telford and draw 1 -1 at Boston
This week’s #sundaystitches from aboard the narrowboat Emma Maye on our mooring on the Leeds and Liverpool canal in West Lancashire. This week Carole is knitting a scrappy blanket from stash yarn. With the wind blowing quite hard today we may need the blanket on the bed later

We have just had published our 1st boat review.
Nice grey and pink paint work showing off the lines of the narrow boat Breeze in the marina at Ripon. The small flue on this side of the television aerial is the flue for the incinerator toilet. The boat was built by Narrowboats of Distinction on an Alexander hull and shell. The date is 23.8.2021 Image Cw 7728 copyright Colin Wareing of Colin and Carole’s Creations
We went to see the boat in the marina in Ripon a few weeks ago and found it all a interesting job.
The full review is published in the October edition of the canal newspaper Towpath Talk, which can be found free in chandlers and some canal side pubs, or it can be read on line here.
Hopefully the boat builder and the owners think we did a fair job and hopefully we’ll be asked to do another one soon.
This is where we’ll try and keep you up to date with what’s going on in our world, page updated 18.8.2021

Yesterday we sold some “Northern Lights” yarn to a lady who lives in California who was originally from Wigan 🙂. Wonder where our yarn will end up today from being open outside The Farmers Arms?
For #finishedoffFriday I’ve knitted this project this week in shades of blue. But I’m not quite sure what to call it? A stole, a wrap? Any ideas appreciated. It’s knitted in seeded rib and being from a wool and acrylic yarn is quite warm so would make a great addition to the wardrobe of someone who is now working from home in the “new normal”. Knitted from JC Bretts “Landscape” yarn, Carole on the canal.
We are available until Thursday this week, up to the 1st of October for anything you may require. After that we are have a few days break before we start the run into Christmas.
Well that one once finished didn’t stay in stock long, we sold it from the Wool Boat yesterday.
