    I think the difficulty was in seeing what she was doing with that type of yarn, whatever it's called!

    this is the pattern, I've just spoken to DD and this is like double dutch to me but she said the pic is very different from hers because it's on the knit side and her outside is the purl side. Or something like that. Still don't know what the yarn is called but it has little strands coming down from it like fringing.

    Cat - you weren't to know that he would take a turn for the worse - don't be hard on yourself hun

    Thanks for the pattern Cat's DD and Cat

    Kitty - have you got anyone that could give you a hand? Could you grab some bin bags and have 1 for rubbish, one for upstairs and one for charity shop, put stuff in each bag as you move around to some loud fast music and clear away the worst areas like that. Remember - your friends are coming to see you not your house x
