Update from me. Haven't updated for a couple of weeks but have been knitting loads!! True to form lots of hats and a couple of cardis to the mix. Just to match the hats !:rotfl:

I'm using a link from bevs country cottage for the cardi. But I'm using the boys version not the girls as I was confused by the whole hole business. :rotfl: MSE won't let me post links, so no link..sorry. I'll have to post more until they let me!!

signature is correct with totals. can't remember the last totals I had.....

Baby hats 46
IS hats 35
cardigan 6
booties 3 pairs
buntings 2

6 boobs
1 scarf
3 baby hats
2 buntings
12 hedgehogs

I'm just starting my 4th preemie baby blanket and I have the wool for another - just getting into it again after a bout of flu last week.

Do I send the finished articles to someone on this thread or to the Loving Hands group?

Hi there Sagaris, sounds like you're enjoying making blankets - I do as well. Its your choice where to send them - most commonly people on this forum send them to either PreemiesUK or Loving Hands both of the organizations make sure everything we send goes to a good home.

Drop a post on here for Shezmit & she will PM you the address for PreemiesUk and ask Lou on Loving Hands.

hope this helps

Hi crumblepie - nice to hear from you again - I like that cardi pattern you're using, i've done a couple with the holes and thought I'd try the 'boys' version next. I'm doing blankets just now - 3 knitted ones and the crochet project I posted last weekend, I feel the urge for something smaller, may have to knit a few hats.......

Hi am i being a little ambitious? I would like to make some quite basic knitted ponchos for this christmas but i havent knitted since my brownies badge and cant really remember much. Has anyone here got a really easy to follow pattern. Think i can just about remeber knit pearl and how to start but thats about it. Thinking i have a few months to get them done so might be ok? A kind person mentioned that someone here may be able to help me - sorry if this is the wrong place for this

Hi slm6002, glad you found your way here! I picked up the knitting needles in January after about 30 years of not knitting, and found it's kind of like riding a bike, you never forget!!

I can't help you with a pattern unforunately, but I just know someone will be along shortly with ideas for you! Well done you for planning ahead, you should have plenty time!

Thanks, glad i am not the only one to return. I remember it took nearly the whole easter holidays to make a wooly hat and the bobble on top was quite loose so wobbled from side to side! Also thinking if i cant do the ponchos maybe slippers? I will also make some squares for the good causes that i have seen on here.

Have a look here;

Hopefully at least one of them will be useful, I think there over 100 patterns
and the same number for Shawls and Stoles here;

prfungi - I love the 5 hour cardi !! knit pretty much in one with not much sewing up ( I hate doing that bit) no fiddly pattern really... I'm getting to the stage I hardly have to look at the pattern. i haven't done the matching hats from the site I'm just making up my own versions.:D


MSE still won't let me link!
