    Hi,
    glad you're having a good w/e.
    this pattern is for a baby hat, nice and simple but should be just enough to challenge and to interest you.

    I like doing these as they are really quick and easy too, you don't need to line them with material either - good luck with whatever you choose I am sure it will be perfect.

  • Hi all, not managed to get on here for about a week (and then need another week to catch up with the chat) - going through the posts, saw lots of pics of delectable choccies closely followed by this lovely typo from dpixie:

    morning all. hope that you are all well and if not HUGE
    - well, we missed out on Mother's Day last weekend for various complicated reasons so having chocolate cake for tea today....prob not huge enough yet though. Speaking of typos, did anyone see the one on the Kemps site a few weeks ago, can't find it now but they were raving in big letters about a new toddler wool 'with a slug in it'....! Me, I like wool with slubs but can do without the slimy variety.
    Busy busy here - we grow vegetables and run a box scheme for a living and it's a really busy time of year, so not much knitting - a few rows progress on a blanket, so nothing finished to update :( - must do some small things to boost morale!
    Belated but heartfelt 'get well's to poorly people, and hugs (huge ones, even) to those of you missing your feline friends - my 10 yr old son's big beautiful cat was killed on the road in January and he still misses him terribly.
    Better go and welcome returning hockey hero DS1 - and hope to report better woolly progress anon.
    Love and happy knitting /crocheting to you all - oh and Big Welcome newbies!
