    Were do I find the easy patterns for easy things :-) I can knit and crochet basics and need things to keep my hands busy but don't require lots of patterns or sewing up. Happy to do squares or little things for sending to various charity causes.

    Hi all, had a busy week as DGS's childminder went on holiday so had the little man round a lot. Got lots of knitting and crochet done at night as its to cold to do anything else :mad:

    Things not to good with OH, hospital yesterday for him to have a camera in his bladder to check for scar tissue. The lovely Doc couldnt get the camera in as there is a large lump in the way and didnt nosey old OH see it on the screen:( We came away very worried and now have to wait for them to send for him to go in - have a feeling it will be very soon. They were only in his bladder in January so what ever it is grew very fast. So am packing his bag and sorting out books and stuff for him to take in plus a bag of crochet for me to do while I sit and wait for him.

    Hugs to all in need and hoping for sunshine x

    Dear Ginnyknit
    I am so sorry you have even more concerns about DOH health. I am sure you are both very worried and I hope they call for him very soon so that the wonderful doctors can do as much as possible to make things better.
    I should take a very plain,uncomplicated project as I am sure your brain will be overflowing.

    Lots of love x

    Mrs m -- I am thinking about you and your family and send lots of gentle thoughts.

    Shaz-- Hope things go smoothly with Daniel.

    Thank you all, I feel as if Im always bringing bad news. One good thing he got his hearing aids fixed while we were at the hospital so I dont have to keep repeating myself :p

    Had a pleasant morning shopping despite the puddles and stocked up on white wool - I cannot function without white and cream wool, also seem to have bought some pink, hmmm didnt notice the extra ball... and some paint to do tin can planters for Dd's herbs ... and a tiny rolling pin to paint and write a message on for Mums kitchen :rotfl:
