Wrist Warmers are so easy Mary - I've made quite a few. Plain and with cables. Loads of free patterns too :money:

cuddles - I got a pattern of sorts of the internet just to give me guidlines on how many stitches etc.
I never could do cable so these are going to be plain but might add a button or two for embelishment

Hart great baskets hun.

I have been off all week and trying to declutter our house and garage finally getting there but haven't had much time to come on here:(

have a made a few things to share with you though.
a phone holder that i have been meaning to make for a while now...
a pocket tissues holder and a chapstick holder for my hubby's auntie. Theses 3 projects only take small scraps and are so easy took me less than half an hour for each. Link to the tissue holder tutorial on my blog and i'm going to be doing a tutorial for the phone and chapstick holder maybe if people are interested x x
