Hi DPixie - you've been busy! I shall add your latest items when I update tomorrow. Hope you had a good week away.

Seakay - good to hear from you and thanks for your latest totals. I shall have a look at the link you posted.

Hope you are all keeping warm - it's freezing here!

Hi ladies
Just saw the comments on housework and it reminded me of a poem called "Priorities" which I kept on my fridge when my sons (now 18 and 16) were growing up:

I hope my children look back on today,
And see a Mother who had time to play!
Children grow up while you're not looking,
There'll be years ahead for cleaning and cooking,
So quiet now, cobwebs; dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep.

My total so far - 3 hats, 1 bunting.

hi, can you add baby gown please.
am i right in thinking the opening goes at the back?
if i add decoration should i put it on non-opening side,if you know what i mean?

Yes thats right you can put a decoration on the front of the gown but leave the back open as its easier to put the baby into

Hi Sylvia - here's a link to OECS's Yahoo group; if you join that - you'll need to apply and wait for the site owner to 'approve' you - you'll be able to post and receive messages. http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/OECS/

This is a link to our own Yahoo group where we post photos. If anyone wants to join, you'll need to apply and I'll have to 'approve' you. Please feel free to join - there are loads of photos from last year on there! http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Wooligan/

Tooties - I know how frustrating that sort of thing can be but just look at it as good practice, anyway! I'll see if I can find some straightforward sock patterns tomorrow! I know there are loads online and there may be a tutorial, too.

Hi Kathy
Can you update me with 1 SCARF, 1 HEDGEHOG and 1 DINOSAUR please.
I just hope a child somewhere can see that my stripey animal is a dinosaur and not a stripey fish with legs :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Heldun - I love your poem, and its so true, time is short when babies start to grow

Ah well, off to do some more knitting
