Well here is my felted bag. I blocked it over a box, added a lining and a flower motif made from i cord.

That looks fab. I was asleep all day with a migraine so no doubt I'll be up half the night. I'm currently halfway through the front of a one colour union jack cushion cover, and also knitting another ruffle scarf with grundl four seasons flamenco yarn, and also just started a similar scarf with grundly butterfly.

And of course, still sewing - results in cyberspace.

Morning all,

Orkney Star - have a picture in my head of someone coming home and peeking under the hat on plate to see if it's keeping dinner warm!

Cuddles, will you stop doing new things! I have enough on the go already without being tempted. Very nice bag.

I am still on the sampler cardigan, looking a bit crazy now, maybe too crazy.

I had a migraine yesterday as well. Different kinds of light start mine off.
Knitting has slowed down a bit, OH now about the house all day, so have to inspire him to be positive. Hey ho!

Found this thread about knitting for premies, written by a nurse.

Lots of little things that I wouldn't have thought of in the article.

Thank you so much nannyJanny.. ohh i am all emotional reading that, especially the bit about the colours of the blankets.

Mmmm, made me think a bit, I must admit. I have just gone into the links for free patterns on the page. Think I shall start a new rule to have four works in progress instead of three and have some of these on the go. My two GD's were born in Bristol, as local hospital has to transport mums to Bristol if the slightest thing goes wrong. So for safety they booked into Bristol to start with. All was very normal, so I think I might start a little parcel of tiny things for the hospital for little ones that weren't so lucky.
Very good to have information from a nurse who knows on the site.
