Aeshna,

Well done, that is fabulous, you must be so proud of yourself.

That's it now you will be hooked, it is great when you are wearing something you have knitted and everyone compliments you.

Your friend will love it xx

Thanks honey, for everything! And I most definitely am hooked!!! Oh no, it's too late to save me, I may as well not even try to fight it, I'll just give in!!

Brilliant peice of work. Well done.

Thank you so much! It was so nice to sew it all together and see it properly - it's by no means perfect, but I'm pleased with myself and I'm grateful for the positive comments!

I've just bought this http://www.readicut.co.uk/Patons-Moonglow-Chunky-1000g-Pot-Luck-Pack-PRC7667/ which I thought was well bargainacious!

Its 20 balls of patons moonglow (RRP £3.59) for £8.80 and also 10% off your first order! P&P is £3.95.

Thanks for that, I have just ordered 20 balls and can't wait to see what colour I get. I'll have to hide it amongst the six bags of wool I already have waiting to be knitted up (see what I mean about being hooked Aeshna) If you go into http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/search.php and type in 13 stitches over 10cm, there are loads of free patterns you could use :T

Yep, I got one of those as well. Also have three lots of Zanzibar which is gorgeous. Have just started a little short sleeved cardi for DD (21) only takes three balls in a size 10. Will make myself one - four balls for a size 14, and possibly one for my neice.

Stop please....I have nowhere to store any more wool so I can't buy any...would love to have a go at some of that readicut stuff but would be terrible extravagance....must finish at least half of what I have before I buy more, must finish at least half of what I have before I buy more, must finis

There are some good bargains out there at the mo..better than ebay. Look on the bright side, wool doesn't go off, have an expiry date and the returns are better than what you would get in any bank account!

For those of you who have large stashes...look on it as extra insulation
