May and June Challenge - Rainbows

Our Craft and Chatter challenge for May and June has been inspired by two photos from Becky:

Rainbows - always a symbol of hope - have also come to symbolise our gratitude and support for medical and other key workers during this lockdown period.

So, our challenge to you is to create something that is a rainbow or is inspired by one.  You can go all out as Becky has, or you can add a rainbow trim to a garment, or make a blanket - the possibilities are endless.  Here are a few ideas taken from Ravelry.com.

In the shop we have lots of yarns you could use for your rainbow such as:

• Happy Cotton by Sirdar - £1 for a 20g ball and over 40 colours. Why not try these colours for your rainbow: Lippy (789), Freckle (753), Quack (788), Wicket (781), Yacht (786), Princess (798) and Currant Bun (756)
  
  
• Stylecraft Special DK - a perennial favourite at £2.20 for 100g. We also have a limited supply of 50g ball sets in these colours (call or email for details)
  
• Colours shown: Lipstick (1246), Spice (1711), Saffron (1081), Kelly Green (1826), Empire (1829), Lobelia(1825), Plum(1061)
