    Wondered if I might ask for a little help ladies (or any lurking gents :p)

    Am currently knitting little bits to raise funds at a charity coffee morning in a couple of weeks ~ have done dishcloths, mobile phone socks and mug cosys and am now all out of inspiration. Any ideas gratefully received

    thank you

    Have you ever been on the Official Jean Greenhowe Site? She has some free patterns on there. The Rainbow Babies are irresistible. The Easter ones might be well timed as well.

    Shezmit,

    thanks for post. Interested in joining your group in a few weeks time. OH is two days into redundancy, and son's wedding is in under 3 weeks. After that I will be in touch.

    Hello everybody else.

    In the past I have made preemie stuff, and found these two to be great:
    https://www.lovinghands.org.uk and https://www.bonniebabies.co.uk, in fact might have to send something to one of them again soon.

    Made this for DS yesterday/night before....he requested it in fluffy wool, then did not seem keen to wear it lol....he WILL when it is cold though!
