    Loving the scarves!

    Not done any. I'm completely baffled by it all. I get the stitches, i understand some of those, and they are easy to learn. It's more where you go in , which hole, front, back (oooerrr missus, that sounds bit wrong) :rotfl:
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    This is the pattern for the wrist warmers but they are knitted not crocheted. I can`t remember if there`s another pattern for crochet ones but `ll have a look.

    I love crochet and I love Attic24, Lucy's blog, she is so bubbly. I used to do lacy crochet when I was younger but recently started again, so far I have made a blanket for DD and I am in the process of making the snowflake garland from Lucy's blog, they are very cute and so easy to do. I bought some spray starch and they look great.

    I like the scarf you are all making, I don't like anything around my neck, too irritating.

    You could always make one in sparkly wool like a garland or something? I would find a use for one anyway! :rotfl:

    I'm not sure if anybody has posted this link before - but there's some fabulous crocheted stuff on it: http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory.php

    There's also a 'sister knitting site': http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory.php

    I did loads of knitted dishcloths last christmas. I gave 'extra presents' to all the males in my life (sons, son-in-law, brother, brothers-in-law etc). Wrapped shoeboxes containing washing up liquid, hand-made dishcloths, panscrubs, washing-up brushes and Christmassy Teatowels - the females were extremely appreciative ;).

    And a site that combines both crafts in projects: http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/knit_crochet_combos.php
