Thanks, have saved these in my bookmarks. I taught myself to crochet in March this year and love it. Mainly doing Amigurumis so far. Ive started a blog where I posted pictures of all my projects if you fancy have a look http://greenpixey.blogspot.com/

Would you mind sharing the dragon pattern or perhaps tell me where you found it?

Wow, these are great! Makes me want to learn to crochet, is it difficult to learn. I SO want to make those rabbits for my 2 new nephews (currently at 2 and 1 1/2 months) and the niece due in 6weeks! They're so cute

In Home Bargins today, they were selling bags of the mini marshmellows for 69p (dated til end of Dec .... but didnt think that would really matter).
Am pretty sure they are the same make that I bought last year from Tesco's.

I learned to crochet in March this year and found it really easy. Can't promise that it would be the same for everyone though...
If you'd like the pattern just PM me.

Edit: Hm... I just clicked on your profile to send you a PM but I don't seem to be able to... Alternatively you can send me an email, the address is on my blog

Gonna have a look on Monday. I'm doing loads of the snowman soup this year....well I've bought 100 cello cone bags...so I wouldn't mind stocking up on some marshmellows

My advice would be to look at tutorials on youtube - that's how I learned. It takes a couple of goes to get the hang of it but once it clicks you'll find it's really easy. Be warned though - it can get very addictive!:D

Its taken me so long to get to the end of this that I need to go back and start again.....so many things I didn't bookmark, thinking 'I will remember that' and now I don't!!

Started in early March and knitted a top for my best friend, then did 2 cushion covers, then started a sweater for my biggest son...havent yet finished back and front, don't seem to want to knit these days. Not very crafty otherwise so will need to get cracking on the knitting if I am to have something for the five grandchildren, seven 'children', 4 partners/wives, OH and then there are the 10 family birthdays between now and Christmas....might get a night or two of sleep before the new year.

havn't gotten a huge amount of crafting done recently, been taking advantage of the weather to garden and still learning to knit which is crafting in a round about way since the plan is to be able to knit something for christmas if I get good enough!
Been keeping an eye out in the hospice shop that I volunteer at for bargains for baskets etc and have converted the spare room upstairs that is waiting on a lot of diy work into a little crafty space, not pretty etc but mine!

Not sure why - do I have to turn PMing on? If so can anyone tell me how?
