morning all its freezing here.
i hope all are well or recovering and managing to keep warm and not too busy unless its enjoyable tasks.
DS has gone from hoodie to winter coat so it must be cold as he hugged be goodbye in the playgrund he asked if i have enough green wool to knit a pair of wristwarmers i if i get them finished can i take them with me at lunchtime so he can wear them over his gloves:rotfl:.

i love the remote holder:T very nice, i might see if ive time to get one (or 2) of those done before christmas.

im doing a fishermans hat at the mo not doing too bad im on the crown shaping and it actually looks like it might fit a normal sized head this time;). santa could have used the last one as a sack for a small counties woirth of children.

Hi everyone

I haven't posted for ages, but I've been lurking and reading every day keeping up with you all. What a lovely bunch of people you are, so supportive and helpful through every situation that arises.

Shezmit - I've just posted a parcel to you with some bits and pieces for your stall, they may not arrive in time for the first date but hopefully will be OK for the second one. I'm so mad that the first parcel went astray as there were loads of the little stockings in there with embellishments which would have been good for your stall, but the whole thing just seemed to disappear into the ether!!!!

Kathy - I haven't updated my signature for ages but will get around to it soon.

Sorry I just don't get time to post what with work and stuff, but I do enjoy keeping up with what everyone's up to.

By the way, I tried knitting a Pudsey, had wanted to do a few for Shelley's stall. The knitting turned out OK but I had a real problem with his face and he ended up looking like Pudsey's Evil Brother, Pudzilla!! I don't so much mind the sewing up but it's the faces I can't seem to get right.

Hope everyone manages to stay warm today and keeps all the bugs and sniffles at bay.

Hi all, I have been a lurker on here for quite a while now and just wanted to say how I enjoy it. Soooo helpful and informative. A couple of things I thought may be helpful...I noticed today that Lidl online have knitting wool and needles on offer from Nov 30th. The other thing is to reassure F1widow to try again with crochet and circular needles. I had never used circs and done VERY little crochet but have mastered both thanks to online tutorials on YouTube and the explanation about different US and UK terms for doubles and trebles (kindly explained somewhere on here). Good luck and best wishes to you all. K

Kinsey

I'm pleased you're pleased Shelley.

Heldun with faces usually less is best, keep it simple, french knot for eyes and V shape for mouth, or nose and no mouth depending on toy.

Hello Ladykath, nice to meet you. Thanks for info on lidl, off to have a look!

Hope you're ok maytaurus, and all who haven't been seen for a while.

Love to everyone xxxx

Afternoon ladies - hope we are all well - boy is it chilly - hope you are all managing to stay warm
ladykath - thanks for the nice words and info on lidls xx
heldun - nice to see you back - we enjoy you popping in and understand outside pressures xx
mrs m - my hats are either too big or too small
Loved the wrist warmers and did a pair for my mum last night and were off in post this morning - I love the pattern and they are so easy
os - really liked the remote holder - would be good for my dad - have to check my Mum's latest colour scheme ha ha
kathy - yes we did have frost and does not seem to have warmed up although must not grumble as it has been bright and sunny
chalky - went to Ikea myself on Saturday - cant say the crowds did it for me but the decorations etc they have are really lovely and different - I loved the paper bags with elves on DH did not seem to approve though so they were put back hmmmm
shaz - how awful that they left it until you were older - makes me cross as I think that once you are older its harder to deal with etc - hope you are feeling a bit brighter today - hugs from me xxx
k2tog - if you can find my card bags to put the cards in for shezmit I would be very grateful ha ha - my craft corner looks like a bomb went off not to mention the wool stash and as for DS's bedroom welllllllll - hope the cupboards are back to normal and you found what you were looking for xx
shezmit - I think the gloves are great and really easy - I think they should sell xx
ISOM - hope you are ok today xx
Maytaurus - if you are lurking thinking of you and big hugs xx

Hi all, it’s very cold here today, we’ve had a hard frost in the night.

Mioliere. thanks for the ruffle scarf pattern, I think you’ve started a scarf revolution! I’ve already been asked by three people for one and I’ve only just finished the first. I absolutely love it, it was so much easier than I thought it would be and it’s like magic the way it curls itself up.

Pam, thanks for the wristwarmer pattern, going to have a bash at these tomorrow.
Orkney star, like the remote holder, very nice for a pressie.
Hi to ladykath and heldun :hello:
Well, got some wool from Fleetwood today, didn’t have the colour I wanted in chunky so had to get dk and I’ll use it double. Going to make a start on it tonight. Another few balls just jumped out at me while I was there so I’ve adopted them too.:rotfl:

Hope you're all keeping warm and ((Hugs)) to all who feel down or poorly.
