Hi all- has anyone heard from Pam (Prfungi) lately? I've just checked and her last post on here was 24th August but I can't see any mention that she was going on holiday or anything like that. Pam - hope you are OK?

Lovely links, Maytaurus - thanks for posting them.

Morning,
Don't know if this will be of any use to people learning to crochet,but in the C00p this week there was a magazine called "the Art of Crochet".
Cost was 99p.Included 2 balls of wool,4mm hook and a video of how to start.This is the first of a part work that will be expensive, but this issue for 99p seemed good value.
Take care everyone,

Morning all.

Oh dear, another grey and dismal day here. It rained all day yesterday and looks as though we are going to get the same again today. Still, on the bright side, once all the jobs had been done - 4 loads of washing, 3 hours ironing and a quick tidy up - I spent the rest of the day knitting. A rare luxury for me. Even got DH involved - he was winding wool from cones into balls. So think it might be the same again today.
Hope everyone is OK. Will post a separate update (not much on it though) next.
KInd thoughts to those who need them and best wishes to the birthday girls.

I am in the magic bus with the two dogs, on the lapdog pooter too, so I will be quick

MAYTAURUS - you are a star sending that link for the haberdashery things - will investigate when I get back home
So sorry I missed the birthdays yesterday and today, hope you've both had brilliant days.
UPDATE

1 gents jumper (LH)
4 adult hats (LH)
1 pair fingerless gloves

signature is correct.

Kathy - your grandchildren look adorable - bet this is a hard week for you - I know when I return I have a proper downer - so I just do the housework - so not too often for me then.
Will check my e mails I sent a link to Pam but can't remember when, will log out and back in when I find it - save the bit of battery.
back soon- 22nd August I had sent her a copy of a spreadsheet but she couldn't access it.
also haven't heard from Anne PIPPA.S re ttte? Am I missing something here?
hope you all have a great day

Hi ilovetea. I am tempted by this even though I should know better! It sounds like it might be the "sister" part work to one I got a couple of years ago called the Art of knitting where you get a ball of wool a week and instructions for a sqaure to make a shaker style throw. Some of the patterns were great and the teaching parts were good, but there are a fair few things that I would never make in them. I still have many squares unmade as I never did them in order so it's a faff finding out which ones I still need to do . I will get back to it. From memory, the first issue was 99p and then it came out weekly at #2.99, but after about week 4 you had to order it. Each issue had a ball of wool, about 4/5 patterns in and a pattern for the squares, a tutorial and mishaps section. In a way, you probably get more for your money than with the knitting mags. It's a nicely produced thing and good to have a lovely browse through but now there are so many instructional youtubes... Might see if I can find the first part and have a look.
