Fingers crossed (again!)

This is lovely. I have just been looking at the "row of" designs on sew and so and have persuaded my OH to buy me "row of mice" instead of an easter egg :j:j:j:j.

I also really like the "dictionary of"designs. well done to the person who has posted the bra pictures. its really good.

hugs all.

Nope is a big one 21cm x 31cm is called K171 Spring Flowers - is lovely just haven't the patience (and threads are all just in two huge bundles and need sorting into varying shades of brown for the hedgehogs body)

sounds a lovely kit. thank goodness for (most kits now) which come with pre-sorted threads and two separate charts - one showing the stitches and one showing the backstitch so you don't have to *guess* what colour stitch is hiding under that back stitch and don't have to spent *ages* under a daylight lamp sorting threads before you can begin your work !:j

Congratulations Poppet! :T

Bubbles - in case you don't catch up with past posts : i discovered charityshops have knitting needles - if youre stuck, let me know what you're after and i can have a look for you.

Dorastar - my mum is really into bird watching and blue tits are her favourite garden bird, so if no-one else is interested, i'd gladly give the chart a home - though i can't promise quick results - i'm a newbie and only on my third!

Yay - my UFO box will be empty soon - PM your details and I will send it on - it is only the chart and the ring to put it in so you'll need toget threads and material but is only small so shouldnt take too long.

nmm

Dorastar, I think this is the Country Companions Kit??

Hi Dora.

How kind of you!
I know the Blue-tit chart has been taken by 23rdspiral but I wonder if it's possible, could I have a copy of it please before you send it?
Also if no-one else wants it I'll take the wedding sampler off your hands.

Thanks!
