Hi Everyone
Haven't felt much like wittering lately (have been lurking though) but feel I should crawl back out of the woodwork.
Have mainly been crocheting a ripple blanket for MIL who is not very well and I've put myself on a bit of a deadline with it. I'm really pleased with it but wish I had made it just a bit narrower and finding it quite heavy and cumbersome when I'm working on it now as it's got pretty big. Made a few poppies this evening as light relief from Pam's pattern which worked really well. Have also been on the GIOL thread a bit - needs must and all that....
Hope everyone is well. Great to see some noobs posting - :hello:to you all.
Off for a glass of wine now

Good morning all; up early due to waking up with a cough. As usual, a cold will always go to my chest so I expect to have a few sleepless nights! Luckily, it didn't stop me going to sleep for a few hours, it just woke me up, then I started thinking about a cuppa, then I had to get up! I ended up lazing about for most of yesterday under a blanket (not a crochet one, sadly, but a great one I've had for years that is instantly warm). I don't actually feel that unwell, so I think, hopefully, that it's only a mild cold.

Jean - thanks so much for taking over the updating for me, and I hope you had a great evening with your guests.

Shaz - good luck to Daniel with the new meds.

Shez - those pictures are great!

K2tog - good to hear from you. I agree with you about the ripples - I'm doing one for DGS for Christmas and it's got really heavy so I'm alternating it with a few poppies, too. I made DGD's with a huge granny-square which didn't seem so cumbersome, but I thought it would be too girly for DGS! I'm going to make a couple of cushion covers in the ripple, for my Mum, but they will only be small and should be a lot easier.

I've had an email from Rachel's Crochet Spot http://www.crochetspot.com/ which includes a link to some video-on-demand tutorials and patterns. They're just half hour videos and are really great - here's the link http://www.dptv.org/ondemand/kc/kcvodarchive.shtml There should be something there for everyone.

Well, I'm off for another cuppa then I shall sit and crochet (and doze off, probably) for a couple of hours, so I'll catch up later.

Good morning knitters :-) Hope you all have a happy knitting day today. I'm going to get on with some of my baby knitting. Trying to work out how many crochet squares I will need to make for a cot blanket ?? Any suggestions ? I shall be doing it in double knit with a size 4 crochet. Not sure whether to do a 5 hole square or a 7 hole square. All these decisions, not good at my age, or at least so early in the morning lol

Thanks, Jean, I'll go and look for it now. Thank you so much. What would I do without you?

Good morning ladies,
lovely links mioliere, thankyou, that should cheer up a grey and very wet day.

Morning Salome - I think Shelley does them at 16 x 16 inch but I guess bigger is fine if it fits in with your pattern better.

Hi everyone from the land-of-the-sniffles! Thanks, once again, to the fantastic Jean, I have posted the latest update on to my blog. Jean not only set the whole spreadsheet up, she even did the latest update for me, for which I am truly grateful. Heaven only knows what it would have been like if I'd done it with my stuffed-up head!

Will catch up later. I'm just off to have some lunch and then I'll be spending the rest of the day under a blanket with my crochet, and calling in here every now and again!
