    The people I have spoken to seem to think it is a cheap hobby :eek: I am going to have to start developing a love of acrylic ;)

    Salome what a lovely blanket. I bet your neighbour was over the moon.

    Rummer I thought living in New Zealand, the land where there are allegedly more sheep than people, yarn would be cheaper than in the UK, but unfortunately it's not. Oh how I yearn for my little wool shop in Dunfermline. :drool:

    Hi all. Nice to see pics and more people chatting :)

    I have been crocheting my daughter a dress! Its almost finished, should be done today ..... thank god!
    Made my own pattern, kinda guessed as I went along. Its not perfect but my daughter loves it. I hoped for a nice subtle coloured dress but she has eclectic taste and its ended up quite random!!
    Will post pics when its done :)
