    Thank you cuddles for your quick reply.

    I have some stripey socks :D will practice with those first I think, although I want to make a baby type one for my SIL but I have 19 weeks to practice .... I hope!

    Me too Mad Frog!:j

    Baby ones are actually harder as they are more fiddly, but I'm sure you can do it :T

    here are my latest baby ones without nappies. she was meant to be an ouchie baby but i thought she was too cute to put a plaster on. will do another one with a plaster.

    this is my ouchie boy. if you have a child who keeps bumping themselves then the ouchie baby is perfect to help take the pain away!!! :rotfl:i dont know how to dress him though! might just put a nappy on him.
