Welcome Back Orkney - glad you had a good holiday, and that it included yarn!

Serial lurker here.

I am loving all the makes and have just started to knit again after many years. First project is a cushion cover with cables.

I love those baby uggs. Could someone please point me in the direction of a pattern for them? I have seen other patterns, but don't like them quite so much ....

Thank you.

I'm knitting a baby blanket and was wondering the best way of joining a new ball of yarn. I've had a look on the internet and as there are so many different ways of joining yarn I wasn't sure which was best.

Thanks.

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/oh-baby-baby-booties is the original pattern. It's on Ravelry, if you're not a member, join! It's free, with lots of free patterns and resources. There is a modified version someone has done, with less ends to darn in. Back in a minute.

First Boneyard has finished blocking




Had problems with my second one. Knitted when I was tired in poor light and made a mistake. Had to take back about 14 rows after making things worse by trying to fix it :mad:. Tried to insert needle into destination row and unravel, but managed not to get it in straight so had to lose another row.:eek:
Was nearly demented and almost frogged the whole thing, but managed to salvage it after some tantrums and strong words.:D
