    Maytaurus - those lovely words have definitely set me thinking. I hope you and your family had a good Christmas, despite all you are going through right now. Your last two posts have been so full I shall go back and read them again later!

    Salome - (((hugs))) to you.

    Shez that's a good challenge, thanks for posting it.

    Salome how lovely that you're still in touch with your sons fiance. I guess you're an adopted grandma to her children as well?

    maytaurus at the risk of repeating myself (!) you're a star.

    mioliere I am so jealous of that wool. Everyone thinks I've got enough, just because it's bursting out of every cupboard, so never get me any.

    Thankyou maytaurus, I wish it was real, gimmeee.

    misskool scroll up and look at the links on maytaurus' posts, you're bound to find something you'd like to do. You don't have to knit fast, every little helps. Of course, once you've got into it you'll get faster, and be addicted to wool!

    This is the loving hands link if you want to take a look :).
    If you are confused as to where to start (as we often are at the beginning then contact Lou (the one who is behind it all!) and she could let you know exactly what she could use, or you could join the forums as they are a lovely helpful bunch on there!).
    Welcome in here too!
