Hiya Nualabuala- found the globe but cant see where to copy and paste the link. Followed your instructions- wanted to copy something on local Ebay but I`m getting really confused. Could you explain again. Dont understand about enhanced interface- is there an easier way? Sorry to bother you!

Hi :wave:
Don't worry about the enhanced interface. I think if you can see the globe, then you've already got it!

So, first you highlight the word you are going to turn into a linky. Then If you click on that little globe pic, a box pops up. It has http:// already in it. So all you need to do is delete that and paste in your own URL (web page address). Press OK and that's it, you're done!

Good luck, hope this helps!

My latest socks finished- I love them!
And am now doing some in a Regia brown/lilac/greens blend, with my new bamboo dpns (which I love).
Great hearing all your knitting ventures- and welcome on in all newbies (to the thread and/or to knitting)- they are a friendly bunch here!
Also had a look on raverly again last night- joined ages ago but forgot I had lol- so inspiring!

Thanks!
I always use the same pattern- which is one I got free with some wool, but there are loads of free sock knitting patterns online if you are looking for one (these would be called something like 2x2 rib). I actually think I will try one with ribbing on foot too for pair after this one, although having knit rounds is good too, because it sometimes shows the pattern on the wool better iyswim.
This site is great!

Ooooo I did mini stockings last year for niece and nephew and then stuck them on to cards and put their Christmas money in the stocking- went down well! xx
