psso- are you feeling any better ? - have to say was being my usual la la when I read one of your posts, are work annoyed you have not been in??? or did I just get the wrong end of that there stick as usual? - anyway sending a warming hug in the hope that you feel better soon xxx loving the hedgies and now you've stirred my to do list too!

roamin - again Im really not with it at the moment - what have thee been buying - wool ???? its not bad to treat yourself and you do deserve a treat- are you feeling better? hows the Rockford files? :D xx PS have now re-read post and think you've ordered oodles of lace ???

anakat - I agree you must have been hitting that bottle 2.5mm I don't think I would cope more than one row - your scarf is beautiful and you have the patience of a saint xx

mrs m - I love your work its beautiful and am glad to hear you have been having a few days "me" time xxx

chalky - hope you had a lovely time with DD when she visited and your friends(?) I think I read it was friends but then the way my heads been lately it was probably relatives ...... old age is upon me - love to you and sporty xxx

After recovering from teenage birthday it was then dear hubbys - he was all the 4's droopy drawers - he had a day off and spent it in the garage

well Ive been spring cleaning YUK YUK YUK cupboards needing sorting still my cupboards are like the forth bridge by the time you have finished its time to start again :rotfl: my ever loving husband informed me with much earnest the other day "what you really need to do is a little a day ....." thank you Mr s for your kind encouragement - no what I need is for you to stop throwing your orders around :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:so this week have tidied THE STASH then spent three days in a dark room :eek::eek::eek: - airing cupboard was tackled today - shredding, kitchen cupboards and usual cleaning - hubby did mean well he knows that if I go mad at it that for every week im mad at it I spend three weeks on the decks - I might have a few days to myself next week ..................

Start of F1 season this weekend whoop whoop I am hoping we do better this year and even get a podium - there Ive now put the curse on that !!!!

Printer now has ink so pattern for loom socks is printed off - in the process of finishing baby jumper and also blanket is WIP - found a new pattern for a cardigan I want to have a go at and now Ive seen those lovely hedgies have now decided I know what to do with my "knit in" lace that has been "stashed" for errr a few years whoops I also have the hedgie pattern that was purchased err yes you guessed it a few years ago! - so my TO DO LIST IS HUGE!

Hubby has his first cardiac consultant appointment this week after his "incident" whilst he was in hospital - am sending him with a note from "wife" telling them the truth as he will more than likely sit there and say "im fine thank you" - MEN

Gabbled enough -sorry - love to you all have a lovely weekend - hugs all xxx J xxxx

Loving the turtle, I have pink and blue so thats ok, you can have a pink or blue turtle for a baby. I also found a beret pattern on Hanni's page for Dk not pompom but very quick and easy - I hope. Thank you Roamin , I didnt want to do just blankets.

F1 lovely to hear from you, you have been busy in those cupboards , well done.

All still quiet here, cooked a chicken and all the trimmings but no roast spuds then Hubby got up and had muesli and popped back to bed :mad: so I have just had salad with my chicken and took a cheese cake out of the freezer - just to keep me company you understand :rotfl:

psso

Ginny, quite right having a wee treat. Mine was Apple pie and ice cream. Mmmmmmm. I only ever did scarves with the pompom stuff.
Hope hubby is a bit better tomorrow.

F1, no problem with being off work long term,not yet anyway. They know I had the heart attack in December and am due to go in for bypass surgery.That should be happening on Thursday although I haven't had the paperwork in yet,and I'll be off for about another 3 months recuperating. Lots of hedgie time.

Lacy hedgies are becoming a bit of an obsession now.Just finished number 5 and ready to start the next one. Have to think what I can take into hospital with me, will need something to keep me occupied on Wednesday.

His Nibs disappeared upstairs after his meal and fell asleep !
Needless to say nothing has been done in the bombsite.
By golly, he'd better get cracking tomorrow if he wants to watch the footie on Sunday.:rotfl:

Off to bed now I think. Night all.

parcel is at DWS's - she is so excited for ME......... I, off course am now GREEN with envy, but was far too mean to pay the international postage rates!. DH will collect it for me shortly - but then he is not due back here till 18th/19th April - I will just have to find something else to be getting on with.........
F1 - I shan't be admitting to what I bought - to anyone - its a huge big secret, I will say that if you buy 25 metres of knit in lace at a time you get a really good price - which enabled me to buy even more stuff. (ha ha)
I usually jinx the rugby - so stopped watching it.
Ginnyknit - looking forward to seeing the turtle finished - might just inspire me to do one.
Off to hit the knitting machine - will see how I do.
Love and cuddles to you all

Hi everyone

Lovely and sunny here, and warmer outside than in, as is often the way at this time of year. I've had a lovely Skype with DS2 and his family. Can you believe that my youngest granddaughter, Megan, is three years old today? Her Mum has a birthday tomorrow, her 30th. I just wish I could have been with them this weekend to share both birthdays. They are off to Peppa Pig World today!

Jean - I hope you do eventually reveal just what that package contains!

Chalky - I hope the poorly one gets better soon. Sounds like your DD2 has found herself a lovely chap. Hope the weekend is going well.

Elaine - I shall be thinking of you on Wednesday.

F1 - thanks for asking. I still have a graze on my knee but, apart from that, I am over my fall. It was the painful hip that annoyed me the most; heaven only knows what it must be like for people who are waiting for hip transplants.

Pippa - welcome back to you!


Ginnyknit - I have some pom-pom wool. I just assumed it could not be crocheted with, and I don't knit now, which I am really sad about, because it causes too much pain in my hands. I will dig the wool out and have a go with the crochet hook. I have three balls of two-tone blue to play around with.

I tried to crochet with the knitting-in lace but found it difficult; however, I tried with some other lace (I have a box crammed full of different types of lace that I have collected over the years), and I found that a lace with holes along the top is great for crocheting in as an edging, so I am experimenting with that at the moment. I am also plodding along with a squares blanket using 4-ply which is not as quick to do as DK would be, but I have so much 4-ply that I want to use it up so I am persevering with it. I still have a DK one on the go to take a break from the 4-ply. It makes me wonder how those clever people make these lovely things
