Hi Jean - many thanks for the update on Maytaurus. I'm sure a card from us all will go a long way towards helping her feel better.

I'm glad the Flickr link is proving helpful. I've started another Christmas scarf from one of the freebie patterns. It's working up really quickly and I'll have another pressie done in no time. I'm also going to use the pattern for wrist-warmers. I think it will be a good one for buntings, too, with an increase in stitches, so I'll have a go at one.

Jean thank you so much for the update, i'd picked up that she was ill but hadnt got far enough back to find out what exactly was wrong

psso

re Maytaurus - It depends if she has any problems the medics need to watch but normally after a stent/s you get home next day or day after, so she could be home quite soon. Only going by my own experience of course and that was in a different hospital. Was in for 3 weeks nearly but procedure was `bumped` 3 times because of emergencies. Had the op finally on the Monday morning and got home Tuesday evening.
If she`s lucky, she`ll be home by the time the card gets posted. Fingers crossed.

Moiliere its all your fault.....that flicker link I have been sat here for ages going through them..NOW you all know that my crochet skills leave a lot to be desired but I have found on page 13 of the gazzillion you posted there is a super self-pouching string shopping bag and I am really wanting to do it BUT looks like its all american.
Oh PRFUNGI Please assist me I know you have told us all umpteen times what the differences are but blowed if I can find them I really will try and make it - and what is this magic ring, will I need to send away for one? Och and wats that size US F hook - baffled in Brittany!
SUNFLOWERGIRL page 64 of here has a link to flicker photo patterns by Moiliere and there is a smashing sheepie all loops and lovely looking would that do?
ELAINE well that would be wonderful, so fingers and toeses crossed then.
Off for a hot drink, not looking any more even if the telly is junk.

Not sure re magic loop as have never used it but there is almost certainly a youtube for it - be sure to specify crochet magic loop as there is a knitting one too.
Hope this helps

Sorry, Jean, but what a great source of patterns and inspiration the Flickr link is, isn't it? Actually, I'm not sorry at all!
