    Hi all.

    Hellsbells - a warm welcome to you; I hope you enjoy it here. If you look on the very first post of this thread, you'll find all the info there as well as some links to various things. I shall add your name and square when I update in the morning!

    I've been busy talking babies with DIL2 while we watched DH and DS2 concrete in some fence posts! They were out in the cold; we were in the warm, eating choccies!

    SylviaD - I'm not sure about the 100% wool - hopefully, someone will be along to answer your question.

    I found this http://www.craftown.com/knit/knit37.htm which is in 3-ply. I'll see if I can find some more.

    Hope everyone has a good evening.

    Hallo all, hope you've had a good weekend. Kathy, please could you put me on the list with 3 squares and one hat (sorry,not had a chance yet to fiddle about and find how to put it in red) - the hat is the mesh pattern one from Algerian Action, a really nice pattern which I'll definitely do again. Question for anyone registered with Loving Hands - I'm planning on posting my parcel straight to Algerian Action, as I'm sending other baby clothes as well, but what should I do usually? Seems a bt daft to post stuff to LH and then them have to pay again to send it on - what do all of you do, please?
    Happy knitting!

    Hi All and welcome to hellsbells - LOVE your sig!
    Have spent time organising my preemie patterns and printing them off so feeling very pleased with myself - ironing pile hasn't gone down any though :rolleyes: .
    has anyone managed to find a pattern for baby mittens without ribboning for 2 needles? Haven't worked up to attempting dpns or circular yet.
    Please could i be updated with 1 pair of bootees. As per usual, having a little obsession with my latest new thing - bootees. At least the kids don't pilfer them like they did the hedgehogs!
    Hope everyone had a good weekend.

    Hi k2tog
    I'm not exactly sure what you mean,
    are these any good?
