    I'll have it done tonight nuttybabe (hopefully) then I'll upload a piccie.
    I have some Sidar Snuggly snowflake wool in white http://www.blacksheepwools.co.uk/acatalog/Sirdar_Snuggly_Snowflake_Chunky.html

    I'm wondering if I can do a teddy unicorn (don't say ANYTHING!) or maybe a sheep :rolleyes:

    Then again it may not be a good idea for a first attempt.

    Hmm. Any suggestions?

    oh good god Sue!!!! How on earth did you even find that site!!!!!!!!!!

    But the unicorn looks good, perhaps without impailing a teddy on it though!! :P

    The wool looks fab. Wonder if my mum has any of that lying around cos it would make a really nice cuddly toy. hhhmmmm might have to take a note and have a look next time I go round!!

    Housework, housework, housework or i will never get chance to crochet!!!

    ah right - i get you now! So we are all a bit odd then!!! Glad its not just me! :T

    The teddy is the video i put on earlier but i dont know how you could do a horn. Unless you start how the basic ball starts but rather than 6 stitches do 3 and increase stitches slower. Does that make sense?

    I have given up on the housework, got school run in a minute so no point in starting anything! It will still be there tomorrow!! ;)
