    HELP.
    Please can somebody help a group of old ladies?
    3 of us have tried to knit the pattern for the sleeping bag from the premmies uk site,without success.
    We have over 100 years knitting experience between us and still can't get it right:mad:
    Is there a misprint on the pattern or have we lost the plot?
    Is there another pattern that is similar we could use?
    Sorry for so many questions and hope some one can help us.

    Hi ilovetea!

    I can't tell you whether there's a problem with that particular pattern, but I do know it's a slight variation on this one: http://debbiespreemiepatterns.wordpress.com/2008/11/25/sleeper-sack-knit-version/
    So perhaps you'd be best trying that one - they're all essentially the same at the end of the day. Hope you don't all get so frustrated that you can't knit! :eek:

    Hope everyone's having a good week, hugs for all, I'll pop in later for a proper catch up.

    Thanks Aeshna.I'll give one a try.
    Don't want to be beaten by a ball of wool.:mad:.
    This is very similar and I read somewhere on here that there was a shortage of them.
    Thanks for your quick reply:A

    Hi ilovetea (I do too!) I've been having a bad time with the sleeping bag pattern too. It's come out tiny and I'm not at all sure it's right and I have nothing like your knitting experience! I'm trying it in crochet now. Perhaps Elaine's hints to you will help me too!
