    K2tog - here are some quick easy crochet patterns - one for a hat, the other two are booties. They are really easy!

    welcome to the thread & Best Wishes to your mum :smileyhea

    re
    [FONT=&quot]your 86yr old Mum's knitted shapes ................. I think it’s great that she can still enjoy knitting[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]My lovely Mum is 83 yrs old & has dementia & Alzheimer’s, she was always a beautiful knitter but can’t really do anything now[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]I might just see if I give her wool & needles (she still has all her craft things) if she can manage to knit anything at all[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]It doesn’t matter if it’s of no use, as long as she enjoyed doing it.[/FONT]

    re 'Maytaurus -last night I made a little pocket angel from one of your links; my Mum is not too well at the moment so I've made it for her - a sort of guardian angel!'
    That's a lovely idea, I hope your Mum gets well soon, I will be thinking of her :smileyhea:heartsmil
    re 'I shall amend it and hope that maytaurus doesn't mind adding the amended version to her great list of links, as well as adding the photo I shall email to her tomorrow!' :naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty:
    I've put your bunting on #964 already, so I'll pop to it & take it off & put it back on when I get the new shiny one :rotfl:
    I've also just added the easy preemie hat .............
    & when I came back you'd added the booties :whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle:
    so I'll add those now as well :rotfl::rotfl:
    Just 1 more thing Kathy ........ you've got the bootie pattern on twice now seesaw.gifslap.gif:D :A:A:A:A:A:A

    Hi Maytaurus - I can see the bootie pattern twice now. I had found another one but not pasted and copied properly! :confused: I'll see if I can find it. Thanks for being my 'publisher'! :A I've emailed you with the bunting photos and amended pattern. One of the photos is blurred :beer: (no, I haven't really been drinking!) so might not be any good.

    KathyXX

    Edited to say I have deleted the duplicated bootie pattern in my last post and pasted the other one I found!

    Maytaurus - the job's yours, because you're so good at it! I hope you get some sleep. Good luck with the crocheting!

    Penelope Penguin - I've tried posting the link to the angel pattern I've got but it won't paste properly. I'll scan the pattern and pm it to you.
