- loads of free pattern downloads and the wee shop - on line and from yesterdays trawl round the winterwett they sell the lace at a very good price - my intention is to get some posted to DWS today so will let you know how that goes

OH and cleverness never entered into it in my case - so everybody else will be fine (I am the lowest common denominator)

AS A WOMAN - we can all do that time management - I manage to loose time all over the place - ergo - MANAGED! HE HE

EVEN MORE PATTERNS on the page link below - save you hunting for hedgies all over the shop

thank you roamin ive just watched that one and a knitting with red heart sassy lace and one about arm knitting with hugely thick wool.
time management not exactly going to plan this morning

roamin_in_the_gloamin

OH I can manage your time too if you like - take the day off!

psso

Morning all, Sun is shining but it's a bit nippy outside.

Jean, thank you for putting Hermione's pic on for me, had to give her a girly name as Harry might object to being done in purple lace..........then again maybe not
Tried photobucket again last night but it would not work for me. Must get to grips with it, strange cos I managed to get little J's pic on a month ago.

Mrs mp- do give the lace a try. It's a wee bit fiddly to start with but easy enough when you get going.

Off to get some painting done.
Back later.

i will print that out and stick it to the fridge door:T

i was going to iron but the craft cupboard is calling to me.

i did also look on amozin and they sell the sassy lace on there, that has eyelets along the edge so you just knit using that and no wool but i also liked the video you posted with the eyelets running up the middle of the yarn to make cute little lacy hedgies. decisions, decisions......

Hi everyone

Jean - love the pics of the knitting-in lace. I bought some ages ago when I was knitting (which I can't do any more due to tendonitis). I have some left over so I shall have a go with crocheting with it instead. I don't see why it would not be possible. I remember buying the lace from Lainesworld, too. Hope you are finding time to breathe now and again in amongst all that busy-ness!

Elaine - hope the painting is going well.

I started another two blankets yesterday, one using the peach-coloured nubbly wool I found. It will make a nice lightweight blanket which I might try and line with some fleece at some point. Our lovely fabric shop has loads of different colours to choose from. The other blanket is going to be in squares using up all my oddments of pinks and peachy colours, along with cream to join them all together; I made the first two squares yesterday. I think I shall enjoy making the blankets side by side. The nubbly yarn is a little trickier to work with because it is delicate and I am using a small hook which is a little harder on the hands, so doing the squares in DK on a size 4mm hook will give my hands a break.

Anyway, it is another gorgeous day today and I have just filled both my washing lines. Our local farmer decided to have a bonfire yesterday so I couldn't put the washing out. Heaven only knows what he was burning but it made for some very dense smoke.

I have done the update which you can find here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhOgVamMPLdkdDREdE9nS2pPYTRlcFQ3Ujc5ekNKamc&usp=drive_web#gid=0

I have added my Lap blanket: 1
Right, now I am off to look in my lace collection for that knitting-in stuff! Have a great day, all of you!

THE SLUGS AND SNAILS HAVE NO CHANCE THIS YEAR!



Using guttering inside the polytunnel to grow strawberries - might even do lettuce as well

Brilliant idea, Jean; I've just shown the photo to DH and he is very impressed!

mrs-moneypenny

brill ideais it just normal guttering and have you hung it off the greenhouse/poly tunnel frame? using what.
im picking your brains about planting as my friend i work with has just taken on the gardening job at school and i think this will be useful to her if you dont mind me stealing/borrowing it for her

re photobucket, i bung memory card from camera in slot in puter, box pops up asking what i want to do, near the bottom of the list is something like view images. i click that so all little pictures of my photos com up on a smaller screen then i have photo bucket open behind it i click upload photos on that then drag the images i want across onto the photobuket upload area.

mrs-moneypenny

slightly off topic but would like opinions please
