    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.

    I haven't tried putting it all down BUT I did stop once it was all on one arm and put a ball of wool in each of my dressing gown pockets and put tea in the oven one armed. I guess you could do similar and nip to the loo one armed, or cross your legs and knit fast:rotfl::D

    Thanks florenceem and craftycrafty :)

    My stamp has arrived that mum picked up from york that say's 'handmade with love' and has a pink ink pad with it. Will make some brown card tags and stamp them and attach to the scarves when I get to gift giving at Christmas.
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

    newthrift, I KNEW there was a good reason for wearing my dressing gown (and PJs, of course) during the day!

    Well I have finished my 25 bags for the Beads of Courage project (about 6 have still to get drawstrings, but that'll only take a few mins once I have the cord. That makes 6 projects finished (still only 13 on my list, hmm).

    I'll do some Christmas cards next, for a wee change.

    Ladies, remember what my Granny used to say - "The devil makes work for idle hands!"
