Hi everyone

Just wanted to say big thanks for free pattern sites. Will definitely be doing some shawls me thinks. Keep knitting!

Wow Catwoman, you have been busy.
I only started knitting again a couple of months ago and have so far made a cushion cover, four handbags and a big chunky jacket that I finished last night. Even sewed it together! Tried it on (over my pj's) and it was a perfect fit. Knitted a tension square for my next project which I will start on the train journey to Manchester at the weekend.
Where abouts in Kent are you?

I'm in Rainham in Kent - are you a nieghbour?

A friend on the train liked my cardi yesterday so i said I'd knit her one and charge her £10 plus the cost of the wool (10.50) It's a very long cardigan and she seemed very pleased with that.

Pretty nearly a neighbour. I live in Snodland and work in Maidstone so not far away at all x

We'll have to keep in contact in case we find any good local offers.

Not sure how many know this (or I'm preaching to the converted) but https://www.ravelry.com is great. It's a website dedicated to knitting and crotcheting with pictures, patterns and ideas.

The website is currently invite only and it took me about 2-3 days to get my invite but you can organise your whole stash, your patterns, your needles and ogle lots of pictures.

Love knitting, in fact i'm a total addict, but I hate sewing it together!
