:rotfl:Oh I wish that was all that was wrong!

Anyone with three legs, with different size feet is welcome to this trio.
Actually, the blue one is looking not bad now it's got laces. Not perfect, but better.

Well I finally finished my first big item since starting knitting again, its a hooded sweater in baby blue cotton yarn. Any constructive criticism gratefully recieved, I'm really not good at sewing it all together!

Oooooh, I think this is a pattern that I knitted not that long ago, from ravelry. Lovely jumper, yours looks fab. I am a ridiculously tight knitter and I was a little unhappy with the edging around the hood but that was completely my own fault. Yours looks perfect!

Nanny Jan those baby converse are just gorgeous, I've downloaded the pattern but whether I ever get round to having a go...........

Tryingtorulethe world thank you, the hood boarder was the bit I was most pleased with, its my making up that lets me down, this is the link to http://www.allaboutyou.com/craft/pattern-finder/knitting-patterns/knits-for-women/knit-a-hooded-sweater-free-pattern-48129
hope that works!

Orkneystar - I love your socks! I've been admiring the socks you make and show on here for awhile now. Where do you get your patterns from?

I have made quite a few pairs since I did a sock knitting with DPN's workshop about 18 months ago, but have so far only made them from the Regia leaflet that we were given.

Thanks,
I have made them from Regia patterns too, and other leaflets, but the main source is https://www.ravelry.com....joining is free and you can get all sorts of patterns (loads free, some paid) and we even have a MSE Ravelry group you can join!

So I have started two sock challenges (:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:) on ravelry this month......so far this is what I have from the MOCK (mystery sock challenge on the SKA group) and from the Solid Socks group Black/White/Grey challenge....



Also still plouging on with my Rivercats, which as great pick up any time knits. Rivercats

Other WIP's been put on hibernation lol!
