    I just wanted to echo Chalky's post - Maytaurus, you brighten my day with your posts, and sometimes that's all some of us need to make us feel that little more special - big hugs and grateful thanks to you Maytaurus, you do a lot more good than you may imagine :A

    To quote another comment from Chalky, which I meant to comment on before:
    So keep knitting, keep posting -- please dont be shy-- its not how good you are - its not how much you do -- its just a little bit makes a huge difference.

    Perfect words Chalky, thank you, I don't think I could add anything more to that at all, you have summed this thread up in a beat :T

    Hi Everyone
    Sorry you aren't feeling up to so much Maytaurus. I think I feel the same about the crochet too!
    I have bumbled together a crochet angel pocket. I'm quite pleased with it but i forgot to skip a stitch for the ribbon hole so it's kind of poked through :o.
    I've stuck a picture in my album on wooligans if anyone wants to have a look. It's not the best pic because I took it with my phone. Please let me know what you think.
    I have a lovely warm glow from the posts so I might start something else before I go to bed.

    there's some info here;
    2009 March - Leading UK home delivery courier network Parcelnet was rebranded as Hermes, the name of its German sister company*, following a decision last year to integrate the company into a newly-formed European services division.

    Thank you Maytaurus!

    I will resist the wool this time - on pain of moaning by DH about how it's spreading about the house!

    Hi everyone.

    Maytaurus - thanks again for your links and the lovely kitten pic! Hope you're feeling good today.

    K2tog - your angel pocket is gorgeous. Well done.

    Well, another pair of booties last night. I'm sticking to small things at the moment because they're quick. I need to go through my stash of wool but the box is in a 'spidery' part of the house, so I shall have to get DH to go through it first!

    Anyway, wet and cool here today, so indoor activities, I think.

    Have a great day.

    KathyXX

    Dry again here which is wonderful for the weddings today --- quiet little prayer for the same for the next 2 Saturdays for the Mums here !! I swing between excitement and nervousness !!!

    We go up to North Devon tomorrow, staying with DS so it will be lovely to be close and be a part of all the preparations. 100 Brownies to make on Thursday !! So today it is carefully think and pack everything I need. Usually I can be a bit hit and miss with my packing but not this time !!! Knitting IS coming too !!!!

    DD1 has a practical interview today in a local Beauty Salon so she has gone off looking excited and eager -- and she has made so many sacrifices to retrain it would be lovely if she got the job So fingers firmly crossed here !!!

    Well you lovely lot .Welcome to all the newbies I Hope the people who have not been feeling so well are feeling brighter. Shaz --good luck with you and yours. If you are feeling sad a gentle hug from here. Maytaurus love the kitten.
    K2tog - super angel pocket.
    Mioliere-- Hope you are happy in France. Having Roamin close must be lovely
