great news roamin that must be such a relief for you and just in time for your visitor coming - have a great time with her
Pippa enjoy the break and charge up the batteries for the next phase - it gets very tiring and boring going back and fore- DH will get more tired as it goes on but they will be keeping an eye on him (((hugs)))

Socky hope you are ok and using that answering machine

ISOM thats bad luck about the tooth - hope you get it sorted before it becomes tooo annoying

kathy hope your Mum's op went smoothly - it will make such a difference to her

have had a committee meeting here (to save me going out!!) but they were too relaxed! anyway the men were being really difficult so tomorrow I now need to go to the church and have a 'quiet' word to the Rev as they are not willing to stick to our remit and I feel that I was banging my head off the wall - I really do wish I would learn to say 'no' sometimes and not take things on!!!!!

Don't know if this will help, I knit my squares corner to corner.
DK yarn size 4mm/uk8 needles
Cast on 3sts, increase 1st at begining of every row until a side measures 6inches.
Then decrease 1st at the begining of every row till 3sts remain K3tog.
This should give you a 6inch square

OK, my first square completed although it's come out a tinsey bit larger than 6 inches - probably just over 6.25.
How do you get your corner to be square? My first corner (where the 3 stitches start is slightly flat?
By the way, I really like knitting from the corner like this, it seems to produce a more "solid" square than knitting along the edge.

Full -yime -Mum!-- brilliant! -- when all else fails pull hard -- !!!
6.25 is pretty good, every body has a slightly different tension. So glad you are enjoying the knitting! Try increasing to 1 stitch less.

been offered an 8mth old male kitten, but am unsure as i have the guinea pigs, and i have heard the cat may say the guinea pigs as prey:(:(

:hello:

Fulltimemum, well done J I do like Chalky said and pull it’s tail.


Pssso, love the blankets and the dino


isom Good luck at the dentist




Roamin glad everything is going well


Chalky. pretty cushion, the doll’s house is a work in progress; this is the matriarch’s room



SK I think the kitten would be fine with the piggies if they are introduced carefully, and the girls are safe in their cage till they are used to each other. One of our previous cats was best friends with nextdoor’s rabbit, they used to sit in the rabbit run together.


Off to pick up cat food from Pets-at-home which just happens to be almost next door to Hobbycraft :rotfl:


((hugs)) to all

chalky Thanks - i am always lurking but if I havent done any knitting or crochet I feel i shouldnt post IYSWIM!

I love your cushion - it reminded me of the very first one i did. I am off into hospital again next week (need to go every 6 weeks) so I think I will dig out some wool to take and a hook!
