Hi everyone and thank you so much for the birthday wishes. Right now I have the ironing board up (but I haven't ironed anything yet!)

Warm welcome to you, Orkney Star - it's great to have you with us. Have a look at the very first page on this thread for all the info, details and some great links that people have found. Maytaurus does us proud finding out patterns, and everyone else will post things, patterns, tutorials, and so on that they find, too. If you have any questions, feel free to ask - everyone is so helpful; it's what has made this thread such a success!

Hi Pam!

Jean - we have the sun here, too, so may go out this afternoon. I think we'll have to have the champagne today - I couldn't bear it if it went off!

Isn't it illegal to do ironing on your birthday?

Jean, oooh yes please!

Hi Orkneystar - you've changed your sig! The Aztec Camera lyric you used to have is one of my favourites . The boobs are easy enough when you've done one and you can send them unstuffed. Some people have said that one of the patterns is trickier - I have only used the geocities one and it's fine as long as you don't knit too tight as there are lots of increases at the start.

I am going to start with this, now the cardi for DS has been abandoned. Are we allowed to post pics ? Or would that make the thread far to long and busy?
Here goes my first preemie item

ETA k2tog, yes I changed it this morning!
I love Aztec Camera and Roddy Frame, but though it was time for a new sig .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHY :dance::bdaycake::dance:

welcome Juno :wave:- dont worry I started off very very basic and with the help & encouragement of these lovely ladies Im on lots of different things (& they dont mind if I have one of my la la moments) - if you look on the preemies site they have a bunting pattern which is easy to start - just knit (oh does have some holes) but you can look on video jug for a video explanation (i would recommend this site)

Talking of Boobs - I started one last night - havent done one for ages - I dont like the make one's - i got past that bit now and am enjoying it again (i shall not say out loud what my husband commented as he walked past the chair - it was v rude!!!:rotfl::rotfl:)

Oh Kathy ironing on your birthday ..... boooooo

Off now to have a cuppa - my first day with no child xx

People do post pics but there is a wooligans yahoo group also. I think the link may be on the first post or post 964? Sorry - I've gone fuzzy! It's lovely to see the different things everyone does.
I find it hard to make myself do bigger things after knitting baby stuff because it's so quick. Think I must have a poor attention span!

Sorry! Forgot to say hello Juno :hello:. Good luck sorting your scarf out - we've all had those moments!

Thanks for the reply.
I like knitting anything and everything lol, but have been wanting to do some preemie/charity stuff for ages. A thread on another board spurred me to get organised and do it!
I will take pics for myself and might find somewhere to post if anyone wants to see them. Just started of course lol, and am also toilet training my 2 year old DS at the moment!
