    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Hi All :wave:
    Just popping on quick, some beautiful crafting projects well done everyone :D
    I have uploaded another scarf to the Flickr group. I did a little total yesterday and I have made 6 arm knitted ones.
    We go on holiday this weekend so once we are back will be starting on another project, possibly a sewing one for a change from knitting / in addition to the knitting. Will have to re-look at my list.
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

    Question for you, newthrift - can you put down an arm knitting project before it's finished? I know they go fairly quickly. I've just visions of needing to go to the loo ..........

    craftycrafty, lovely makes. I especially like the bag and the shrug. I can't get pictures to show up in posts either, although there is one in a very early post - don't know what I did differently that time.

    Fabulous makes

    Feel free to change your list - these are too good not to take credit :D

    Did you copy the BB code? Flickr have changed their layout recently and if you click the share icon there are a series of icons including an envelope for email and I think it's that one you need - this is the smallest version, I usually use the medium size

    It's Flickr that has changed - click on the share icon and you are presented with a series of icons inc Facebook, Twitter etc - the one you need for here is the envelope (for email I suppose) Click that and then copy the code and paste into your message.
