Hi everyone :hello:

maytaurus - you never cease to amaze me with all the things you find and post on here for us, I really love reading your posts:T

Tight as - take no notice....draw the curtains and get your knitting out

mrs-moneypenny - cant wait to see the boobhat, dont forget to post a pic. You never know you might start a trend;) hmmm visions of people walking round with boobs on their heads, or sitting behind one on the bus:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

f1widow - I had the same problem when I did my holey blanket a few months ago, my own fault for falling asleep :rolleyes:

Off to a friends tonight for a glass or 3, will take my knitting and do something I dont have to think about, :beer:

Well better go get some food started enjoy your evening everyone

Hi maytaurus - can't keep a good woman down! LOVE the lobster, he's the perfect addition to Chalky's aquarium.
Lovely to hear how busy you all are. I've just unpicked and resewed Dh jumper and it looks much better but blimey was it a pain. I obviously sew very securely, if not attractively :rotfl:
Have been doing odds and ends in between a blanket which is ongoing and trying to find a particular pattern so have spent a lot of time surfing! Was most annoyed to get only 7 Aaron squares out of the end of a ball of wool when I was hoping to squeak 8 as it's the only ball I have in that colour. Hoping you can mix and match them when I post them to you Shelley! Accidentally did a new style smoothie hat yesterday - I wasn't paying attention and it has an architectural look about it which I really like. Might try and do that again!

what size are the quares again

4" x 4" - cast on 20 and knit 40 rows (20 ridges)

can't remember who asked the sizes for complete blankets but I think Shelley uses 16" x 16"

No definitely not like that !!!!!!!!!!!
They were like the ones you made - just a bit *fancier* - you know, more frills / bows etc. Pretty, pretty. Keep up the good work.

Have to take Dd3 into town tomorrow jobhunting (haha) so might just pop in to John Lewis`s and have a look at their patterns - no wool tho` !!

I'm doing 20x20 ridges but the squares are coming out a bit smaller than 4 " must be my tension! Shelley I've just sent some to you today, so let me know if I need to increase my needle size, thanks

have a good day everyone, Jo xx

Good morning folks.
I've had a quiet couple of days, poorly cat didn't come home from the vets - he's gone to chase birds in heaven. Thanks for your kind thoughts before the visit - Maytaurus - as ever you found some brilliant pics, I have saved both of them.
Dpixie thanks for the hugs - very welcome:smileyhea

I've been knitting baby hats - isn't it amazing how many you get out of a big ball of wool - been playing with patterns and I've translated a couple from 4 to 2 needles.
This came about when I found a pattern and knitted it happily, finished it off and checked it against the picture to find it looked nothing like it! . Then I read the instructions to find it should be on 4 dpns :eek: . Looks ok though - will still send it to Shezmit.

Translated the pattern & I love it Mock Cable Rib with Eyelets a really easy 4 row pattern that looks so cute. I've also done a little Roll Brim Beanie hat.

Shezmit - I'll type up the patterns & email to you - if you like them feel free to post them on the site. Boob count 4 Aliens so far +2 planned, also got wool for probably another half dozen not sure what species they'll turn out.

Shazrobo - hope you're feeling better.

Sorry its a bit of a saga. Now desperate for coffee - off out with PamsPal later - to the sales at M&S & Debenhams - just for a look see!!!!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

'bye for now

morning all
managed to get a proper boob and a bit more of the boobhat done last night, i really must get some more creme egg chicks done as well for the choir boys.

i will try and gte a piccy of the boobhat when its finished but the problem will be finding a willing model:rotfl: Friend has now said it would be great if i get it done for 2nd April as her hubby has some talks to do then so it would be a ideal first airing for it:eek: .

brilliant lobster pattern:T and the fishy knitting looks great.

hope all are well
the weather is nasty here hope its not too bad where you all are

ladies - its confession time - i cannot be trusted!!!

i have just walked past the wool shop in order to go to the post office and popped in to see the man that runs the wool shop. i felt so bad that i had not bought anything from him in a month, that i ended up buying 12 balls of overpriced wool. I have decided as pennance to donate these to my next door neighbour in france for all the eggs she has given me ... and i will use the wool that i bought for her. the upside is that its baby wool, so i will be able to carry on knitting stuff for you shelly!!!

have a great day all. hugs to those who need them.

pam - sorry about your cat, but i am sure that (s)he will be very happy hunting birds in the sky.

off for some coffee and a bit of knitting.
