    greenpixey - thanks again for tell me what front and back loops where. who'd have though crochet was so complicated! :P

    i have to sew stuff together as its made. i am so impatient!

    i have got a head and a body of a teddy but its so small i dont like it! i only started it cos it looked like artydolls one in the picture!! but sadly it is not!!! its tiny! might use it for a baby sock monkey at some point!

    I gave away the scrubbie to my mate and she loves it (i made 2 and used mine today - yay). i also saw her son wearing it as a bracelet this afternoon as well!!!!!!!!!!!! :P
