Roamin in the gloamin & LC Wilson ..........if MAYTAURUS can`t find the baby cribs, we haven`t got a bloomin` hope .

Well, I`ve just increased my stash again, (oh dear, what will DH say?.no can`t say in polite company). Joined the local freecycle group a couple of weeks ago and posted a request for wool last week. Guess what - 2 people emailed me offering wool. I got in touch with the lady nearest me and she said she used to do a lot of knitting for charity, but her hands are too bad with arthritis now so she had to stop. Anyway, off I toddle to pick it up and blow me, she comes downstairs with 2 FULL large binbags.....and says theres another one to come:eek: !! There`s enough there to keep me going for the next 20 years :rolleyes:. There`s a couple of knitters on the LH site who live in my area so I think I`ll get in touch and see if they want some. The first two bags were full of wool suitable for babies, and LH type of things - the third one has darker stuff and lots if wool from ripped out jumpers by the look of it, so would do for the doggies & kitties etc. She was doing stuff for the local PDSA so will maybe carry on doing that.

Wish I had more knitting time, or as many arms as Sid the squid. LoL.
Sorry for rambling on, must get down to some work. Now, what will I do first?

By the way Jean, there wasn`t enough snow to make a snowman, and anyway it was too blinkin` cold to stay out for long !

I am going to try freecycle in my area when we get home (9th april!!!) as it would be great to get some for out here in Spain next year. The woll here is a bit thinner than our DK
Have good days everyone
Best wishes to all

Good morning girls, - hope everyone is well

Maytauraus - good to see you back - have signed the petition (just waiting for confirmation e-mail!)

Shezmit - sorry to hear your son had mishap(?!) - hope he is recovering - must remember to send your money this week

Good to see more newbies (I didnt come on for a couple of days and more appear - switching on the computer is like rubbing a magic lamp haha) - welcome you will soon realise how lovely and friendly this lot can be!

Well the holey blanket saga - whereas I suspect all you that were doing it as well as me have finished yours mine got unpicked for the second time - I was going great guns but whilst watching Heston Tudor Feast on Sunday I made a massive boo boo and am not good enough to put right so I got stressed unravelled it all and have started again I will finish it even if it has me on my knees!!! ha ha

Anyway better get the small one off to school - as usual there is a big bag of ironing begging me to start but I feel the wool is shouting just a little louder - will see which one wins later - speak soon love and best wishes to all - hug to anyone who needs on! f1widow (aka Jaqui) xxxxx

psso, well done on getting all that wool from freecycle

f1 widow, my holey blanket was unravelled more than once too, as i found it hard to pick up the stitches when i dropped them, good luck with getting it finished, it's worth it in the end, as its such a lovely blanket

Morning all - hope that you are all well and for those of you who are not, HUGE hugs to you all.

i have just had a very nasty shock - i looked in my wool stash and i am down to only 1 ball of baby wool left (the rest, 3 balls, has been left at the house in france for knitting up whilst there). As i have made a promise to myself that i will not buy any more wool until i am down to 10 balls in my stash, it means that i will be knitting 8" x8" squares for a while (sorry shelly and aaron) and will also be using up my "scraps" to knit a few more IS hats - it really is amazing how little wool they use!

my job for today is going to be tidying up my IS hat wool - its all in messy bits and will need to be tidied in order to see exactly what i have.

isnt it sad that i am now not quite as happy knitting my 8" x 8" squares as i was before - oh well, maybe i have moved on a bit!

i will stop whittering on now and go and do some work.

a lovely day to you all, and keep warm as the weather is going to get even chillier.

Hi maytaurus, I will have to get back to you on that one, I don't think I have read it but I will have to have a look when I get home. I tried sorting my bedroom out last night and found I have 3 novels that I have twice lol.
