    thankyou for your wonderful parcel it came a couple of days ago but i wasn't in so it had to be delievered today, the cribs are lovley and i love the fluffy blankets.


    Well what a few days i have had

    yesterday it was my daughters 6th birthday so we done her a party with some of her friends and she really did enjoy it and got spoilt LOL

    Today i got a tattoo this is my second one, it hurt alot as i had it on my shoulder blade, i nearly passed out 2 mins after he started but i was fine afterwards, It has my 4 childrens names on so i am really pleased,

    We are still collecting 5ps for the cold cot we have about £20 nows so we need alot more,

    Parcels are coming in slowly again it must be due to all the hot weather,

    Hi everyone.

    Shez - you're brave having a tattoo!

    PSSO - thanks for that lovely bunting pattern.

    Jackie0 - as you see, our DON's come up with some lovely patterns. As someone else who suffers with cold feet, I know how horrid it is! Hope you are keeping well.

    At the risk of starting Chalky off with some more snouts, I've just found this really lovely crochet pattern for a hedgehog!

    wow, you all sound so lovely, i felt i had to say hello, started knitting when first son was due 28 years ago, still have the one sleeve and back that i started....didnt knit again until my granddaughter was born...now after 4 years I knit every chance I get, and actually finish things now....she goes off to nursery and tells everyone that her grandma made her jumpers....it will be so nice to be able to ask like minded people how to understand some patterns etc...only other person i know who knits is my mother, and even though i in my 40's when i ask her for help she takes it off me and finishes my knitting...so i try not to ask now....Please could one of you explain to me what the abbreviations mean though...DS1 etc...I am sure i will feel foolish when you do, but have wondered for weeks what they mean?
    thanks.... sylv
