    Thanks to you, Jean, I've just followed your instructions, found the 'bouncing' account, along with a few others, and was told to send a 'reactivation' message, which I think has to be accepted by Mrs Moneypenny, then all, hopefully, will be well!

    Mrs Moneypenny - I hope by now you will have received the reactivation message via Yahoo. Please let me know if you have any more problems with it. I'm a bit green where IT is concerned, I'm afraid, but I knew someone would come along with the answer!

    DPixie - I think I will definitely have a go at a blog, but it will probably be around the end of the month before I get going on it!

    Oh my goodness just had a look at attics 24 and it just makes me want to get going but she is just so talented and artistic. Her blog alone is a work of Art. I do notice that she only uses top quality materials , wool etc and it shows!!! Absolute magic

    This is a warning to everyone who ever wants to have a minute for housework -- don't look !

    Good luck everyone with posting pictures.
    Try and do a good deed every day.

    Just had a peek on Wooligans at everyone's new pics. Fantastic and I love your ragdolls Jean. Glad I didn't post any pics of my project washables - they would have looked very shabby next to your beautifully overlocked ones! Great to see the easter things and the Smoothie hats creeping in again. Really must do some more IS hats but get put off by the sewing up - they're only tiny, how daft am I?

    K2tog - try 'sewing' little things like the IS hats up with a small crochet hook - it's a lot quicker than proper sewing!

    Chalky - too late for me. Attic24 is a lovely blog - I don't know if my proposed one will match that!

    Mrs Moneypenny - so glad it worked. It's thanks to Jean, really; I wouldn't have know what to do without her help!

    I think I will try the hook method Kathy. Do you need to use thinner yarn or just a slightly smaller hook and the same yarn?
    Attic 24 is lovely, full of gorgeous colours. She obviously has a great eye and talent with a hook. I think even if I was a SAHM, my house wouldn't look like that - too much time would be [STRIKE]wasted[/STRIKE] spent surfing and procrastinating so I would have no finished projects and still have an ironing pile that needs its own planning permission :rotfl:
    I'm doing granny squares at the mo. All in one colour because I just did one to see if I could finally get the hang of it and it's not bad (not even close to attic 24 though!) so will do some more in different colours and make a blanket. They are quite large so not much sewing needed.
