Hi everyone

Penelope Penguin has been in touch with me about this ever-growing thread and has suggested we start a new one today. She will link back to the old one as soon as she sees this new one, and place a link on that back to here, so we will be able to carry on as before. Nothing will change but, from now on, please post on here. You have yourselves to thank for this - your time, generosity, and sheer 'niceness' has made this group, as Penelope Penguin says, 'sooooooo' popular that it needed Part 3 to start sooner than I had anticipated! :T:j:T:j:T

Look forward to seeing you all here!

KathyXX

    Like you Kathy I think I shall have to cobble up my own little bit of wood/stiff cardboard to do the shazrobo scarfs, just need to work out the sizes Might get my little sis to visit a shop with a tape measure.....ha ha then I can go and find some of that hedgiehoggie eyelash wool and see what I can come up with.

    Jean in France - made it to another whole bunch of forum PART THREE - wow how often is that likely to happen then?

    Just been back to part two and said thanks to everybody, so I will now bookmark this one and then go from there - hope to see you all on the other side - will it be the "twighlight Zone"?

    the loopa is made of plastic, but thick card would work.
    the outer measurement of the mini one is 12 an half cm wide, and 11 cm deep.
    the thickness is 4 cm all round

    Shaz - thanks for your kind offer but, now that you've provided the measurements, I shall definitely have a go at making one!

    Jean - glad to see you found the new thread! I hope it won't be the Twilight Zone; really, it's an indication of our success! Roll on to Part 4 - whenever that is!

    We've been evicted!
    How strange to have a new "home" in September. Guess that means some of us burble on too much :o.
    I have misplaced a knitting needle today :confused:. I'm starting to think my house may be in the Twilight Zone - or a complete "safe place". Haven't seen your puter lead though Pam :rotfl:. Shattered this evening so not sure what I'll be working on but it really ought to be one of my WIPs rather than something new - can't face working out where I am in the ongoing patterns though!
