trifles

Apologies for long absence!Haven't been on computer lately,and haven't yet caught up on thread:o
Have been knitting very easy pattern hand warmers which I hope will be useful-have 5 pairs just to sew up,so not counting those.
The reason for this post is for some help for me,if that's OK.I'm a tall,large lady-have a bust of 49-and am having problems finding easy patterns I could knit for me-particularly a V neck jumper for winter DK or aran weight. Could anyone suggest where I could source these?Have no local shop and all friends are non-knitting.Would be so grateful for suggestions.Will keep up charities knitting as well.
Sending hugs to all who would like one:A

ISOM - hope you ok and not too worn out this weekxx

ooooo i felt all warm and squishy when i saw your comments re: cake thank you soooooooooooooooooo much - it does boost me up - my new discovery "knit in lace" - i had to show you - OH makes all the right noises but only "knitty" ladies can oo and argh - dont you think? - it did not take that long actually - probably a week on and off (more off than on!)

I seem to have amassed a whole heap of projects the last month - things i have seen in magazines i would like to knit, squares for kiss the geezers, squares for Mrs twins, lovely projects in my patterns from Mrs twins, the list goes on and on ................. plan of action needed me thinks

roamin - meant to ask - how are the lovely basket of snowmen / women - are they well ?????

Im off to drink my cuppa - not sleeping at night and then waking late in the morning so had better get on - lord knows what i shall be like when DS back at school :eek: and boy is that creeping up fast

Love and hugs to all - thinking of you all xxx

Mornin all
Lovely here today the sun has decided to come out to play

toots - have a restful time at your retreat and come back all nice and refreshed :cool:
f1 - aw thanks, yes its getting better slowly but not quick enough for impatient old me OH's mouth is sore only to be expected but he is eating a little better now, lots of salt water mouth-washes help the healing process I think.
trifles - I will have a look through my patterns and see if anything suitable for you in amongst them:)
kathy - I hope your conections are behaving themselves now

Talking of patterns I bought one from e'bay earlier this week its a King Cole one for slippers and little boots like Hugs, started a pair last night and am really pleased with how they are turning out.
