CHALKY - you are so right that ruddy predictive text gets me in more bother than anything......especially on the French mobile....I do try and remove it on everything BUT blowed if I succeed.

Hi everyone.

Ginny -- Hope your doh is doing as well as he can.

Kathy -- Thinking of you and all your family

You sound as if you have been busy Mrs M.

f1 -- SO,SO glad your son appreciated his presents. Knew he would,he sounds a lovely lad!

Happy digging Jean

I have started a small square blanket for DD2. We are giving her a bed for her new house and a bed is not complete without some woolly hookiness in my opinion. So I am using the Stylecraft selection pack from Masons because it makes it so much easier. 17 colours which blend and tone no matter which order you sew them together in.

i am trying to put pictures on but my photo will not upload to Imageshack and I no longer know how to share photos from Photobucket!!!

Thank you so much for info re socks. They are still on the naughty step!!

Love to all and hope pink blanket is going well Laura 16!

I have to admit I haven't actually started yet, I'll dig out my wool and get it started this afternoon. What size should I do? I'm thinking just a traditional like one big granny square type blanket.

That sounds good Laura. They are always needed. Have a look on SIBOL (sunshine international blankets of love ) if you need any inspiration! Also Ravelry is a fountain of ideas. So glad you have registered with Loving Hands as Lou does amazing work.

Well I am trying to upload 1 photo to image shack and no luck. Hmppppphhhh!

Hi Laura good to see joining in. If you are making a blanket for SIBOL they need to be 36" square, perfect size to keep laps and tootsies warm If you go on the SIBOL site you will see how much they are appreciated by the people Mrs Twins takes them to.

as Chalky says Ravelry is a fab place for free patterns but you may be looking around for a long time as there are so many pretty things to make :rotfl: You have to register but its well worth it. If I need a pattern I just put the name of what I want in the pattern search and up it comes - like 'baby cardigans' or 'toys' and up come hundreds of patterns often free ones.

Well the last day of 2012. What a year it has been and I wonder how long we can still bask in the glory of those wonderful Olympics and the Jubilee. I fear this coming year may not have such high notes!

This thread started by Kathy is about crafting and may I wish each and every one of you a year full of overflowing Mojos, yarn baskets ,yarn purses and ideas.

Thank you to you all for a year of personal support,encouragement and good old fashioned goodness and generosity of spirit. I turn to you all when the world is a little bit busy to listen.AND there is always someone listening and kind enough to "speak".

So wherever you are on this pathway of life know that you are never alone.Pop in to chat,pop in to share,pop in to explain and pop in if you need a moan.

Happy new year everyone and the gentlest thoughts if your hands are overflowing a little right now xxxxxx

Afternoon and a HAPPY NEW YEAR (in advance) to you all, can't stop long I am soooo tired today...so I am off for a zzzzzzz after I finish this...

We had a lovely Christmas more visitors before and after than we have ever had at this time of year O it was lovely...went to DS2/DIL's for Lunch on Boxing day and had a great time...my pal Jo and her new man went on a cruise over Christmas got back 28th and they came over on Saturday to see us had a good old natter and a munch of left over christmassy bits and pieces...my neice came yesterday with the twins and her eldest son, they made short work of the tree chocolates...thank goodness... more choc's we wont have to eat

Welcome to you Laura nice to see you, anything you want to know just ask and as chalky and ginny said come over and join us on Ravelry so many patterns over there and a thread for SIBOL as well
chalky - Glad all went well at the eye clinic, how's dmil now hope she is recovering well. Socks hmmmm well something I must confess I have never had any luck with they always turn out baggy and creep under my foot so they end up hurled across the room, then into the charity bag they go !!! I just dont seem to have the knack will try again one day though it won't beat me :)
ginny - hope all is well with you and yours and you managed to have some relaxing time. I expect like mine your DGS was bouncing around with excitement, it's so lovely to see their little face's
f1 - glad your DS loved all his pressies just knew he would :T I hope your aching bones aren't so bad today x
jean - thanks for the Imageshack info did use them a while ago but for some reason it stopped working for me. Have you finished your tunnelling???;)
kathy - I have been thinking of you and your family and hoping everything is as well as it can be for you all xx

Got a bit fed up with doing the same things lately so had a look through the patterns and started working on a crochet lacy wrap, well I'm trying the pattern out really as I've not done anything "holey" before, I had 6 = 50gr balls of mohair all different colours, given me so thought why not give it a go and see what I end up with...its worked all in squares and crocheted together as I go ... something else I haven't tried before...

enjoy your evenings everyone
Love to all Ax

edit: typical... say I'm not stopping long and end up writting a book:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
