    Kinsey - I wish I'd thought of that! Maytaurus's instructions are far better than mine. Elaine - you will definitely get it right if you read hers!

    morning all - thank you chalkey, i think you have correctly diagnosed my affliction. it is sad, but true, can you tell me if it is curable. if not, i believe it is something that i will have to learn to live with like my ocd - at the moment i am knocking out little beanies, i have done 6 in the last 2 days, i hope that they will fit someone, somewhere.

    thanks for the good wishes for my OH - the osteo (who is about 5 foot nothing) is able to push and shove my 6 foot 3 hubby around like he was a baby, she does get results, but i suppose she has been dealing with him for years now, so knows just what to do. he is back at work today, thank heavens - much as i adore him, it throws my routine right out when he is around.

    hope that everyone is well and getting at least some knitting/crocheting therapy in. May, we have not heard from you or Pam for a while - hope that you are both okay.

    have a lovely day all

    Hi
    I have some wool, well actually I have bagfulls of the stuff, but more to the point I have some wool I will never use. It's called pompom by stylecraft, can anyone use it? Probably 5 or 6 balls in a couple of colours. PM me if you are interested.

    Hardup Hester - have pm`d you :D (early bird and all that)

    I knew there should be photo instructions on Maytaurus`s page but could I find them ??? :( Funny how lack of sleep makes your eyes stop working properly. Will try again later.

    Off to Mr T`s to look for thank you cards. Told her to make them herself as she has cardmaking bits in the cupboard but the response was can`t be a.... bothered/ too tired. Oh well taxi time again. Sooner she learns to drive the better, I`ll have more time for knitting :T

    Hi Chalky
    I still have some squares for you, but not sure when you want them.
    I've emailed Lou at loving hands, I hope she can make use of the yarn I have, but it's all either fluffy, bobbly, pompomy or eyelash, so not sure is it's any use.
    My DD's MIL knitted a matinee jacket in eyelash wool for her when she was expecting & she ended up throwing it away as the baby's fingers kept getting caught up & also kept getting mouthfulls of fluff.
    I'll wait to see what Lou thinks.
